ELMO BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS

FURRY ELMO INVITES - Cut a large red circle out of a piece of card stock and write all of the party details on one side. Turn it over and glue red fur fabric to it. Glue an orange pom-pom for the nose, black felt for the mouth, and plastic google eyes to the red fur.

BIG RED ELMO INVITES - Cut a large red circle out of a piece of card stock and write all of the party details on one side. On the reverse side, glue google eyes, an orange pom-pom for the nose, and black felt for the mouth. In the alternative, you could just use orange paper for the nose and black paper for the mouth.

ELMO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" yellow card stock into 4 pieces. Type or handwrite party details in calligraphy on piece of textured white scrapbook paper. Cut each finished piece with decorative scissors so they measure 3" x 4 1/2". Glue to card stock. Decorate corners with Elmo stickers and embellish edges with glitter. On opposite side decorate with Elmo stickers and die cuts of letters and numbers.

ELMO PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" yellow card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors, trim edges of photo of your baby in an Elmo costume so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue photo to front of invitation. Put "Come Celebrate My 1st Birthday!" above the photo. On decorative paper (finished size 4 1/2" x 7 1/2") either type or handwrite in calligraphy the following on left side:

(Baby's Name) birthday is brought to you by the letter (first letter of baby's name) and the number "1."

ELMO BIRTHDAY PARTY COSTUME IDEAS

You can dress your baby up in an Elmo costume and request all your guests do the same. If you do decide to have your little one wear a costume, be sure to take advantage and create photo invites with your little cutie pie wearing their Elmo best.

If you decide to forego the costumes, you might ask all of your guests to wear Elmo red, or have the little tots wear t-shirts with Elmo's face on them. Another option would be to give them each an Elmo bib to wear. Regardless of your choice, it's sure to tickle them silly.
