Raggedy Ann and Andy Party Invitation

Make a really cute homemade Raggedy Ann and Andy invitation with scrapbook paper and supplies. You'll need...

• Brown card stock (brown paper bag would work as well)
• Red and white gingham paper
• Ribbon
• Hole punch
• Scissors
• Glue
• Picture of your child dressed in red and white, holding Raggedy Ann and Andy

Fold the brown card stock to be the size you want the card. You can get two 6 inch invitations out of a 12x12 piece of paper. With decorative scissors, cut out a piece of red and white gingham paper smaller than the card and glue on the front of the card. Glue the picture on top of that, making sure the red and white frames the picture like a picture frame. Hole punch two holes at the top and thread your ribbon through. Tie in a bow. Make a homemade envelope and seal with a Raggedy Ann and Andy sticker.

If you don't want to do the picture of your child, you can cut out pictures of Raggedy Ann and Andy from coloring books and glue on the front. Or make it really easy and use stickers.

Raggedy Ann and Andy Party Costumes

Have your child dress like Raggedy Ann or Andy. You can supply costumes for the rest of the guests if you like. A simple idea is to just have the kid's faces painted and Raggedy Ann and Andy t-shirts.

You could also have a couple of adults or teens dress up in costumes. This always delights the kids.

Raggedy Ann and Andy Party Decorations

The colors for this party are red, white, blue, and yellow. The feel of this party is homemade, country, and time worn. It's very important to know the "feel" you're going after. It sure makes the decorating that much easier.

Tie balloons onto the mailbox to alert everyone as to where the party is. You can also do yard signs to get the mood started. Use a garden stake and thick poster board. Use coloring books as your inspiration.

Red and white gingham tablecloths are a great start to this kid birthday party. Drape streamers from the center of the room to the corners. Make balloon bouquets and place around the party area. You can also tie balloons on the backs of the party chairs for a festive touch.

Use Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls all around the party area. Little red wagons filled with old fashioned toys is another great decorating idea. Scour flea markets and thrift stores for old toys.

Or make your own wooden blocks and antique them to look old. Stack on the tables as centerpieces and add balloons in the middle.

Make a Raggedy Ann and Andy birthday banner. Cut out stars from country fabric. Glue them onto poster board. Cut out the letters...Happy Birthday (your child's name goes here). Glue the letters onto the stars. Glue the stars onto a long piece of rope. Hang over the party area for some homespun fun.

Sunflowers are a great flower for this party. Group in galvanized buckets or mason jars. Wrap your gifts in brown paper and tie with plaid material that you have ripped free hand.

This is also a really great party to have outside. Turn it into an old fashioned picnic.
