You can also make bone invitations. This is a simple and easy way to bring in the dog theme.

Do you have a dog? Take a picture of your child and his/her pet. Print out as many as you need for invites. Glue onto a blue card stock premade card. Or make your own card by folding a piece of 12x12 card stock in half and cut in half.

It will make two 6 inch cards. Add your invitation wording inside and make a homemade envelope.

The colors for this party theme are bright lime green, blue, and a touch of black.

Tie a green, a blue, and a black balloon bouquet on the mailbox. It helps to alert the guests to where the party is located.

The Dog Birthday Party Game Ideas

Pinata - Dog Bone

Pinatas are always a lot of fun. Fill with candy or small doggie toys from the Dollar Store. Hang as part of the decorations. Kids of all ages love pinatas. Just use caution when letting the kids swing the bat.

Doggie Obstacle Course

Set up a obstacle course with doggie houses and fire hydrants. Make them out of thick poster board and hot glue a garden stake on the back. Set up two buckets of sand with dog bones in them and a shovel at the end. Split up the guests into two teams. The first player of each team must race through the course and shovel the sand and bones from one bucket to the other and then race back to the next player. Then the next player goes. The first team to finish wins.

Find The Bones

Before the party, hide bones in the yard or party area. Give the kids doggy bowls and have them find the bones. Give prizes to the player who finds the most bones.

Dog House Decorating

Construct a large "dog house" out of large appliance boxes. Purchase paints and paint brushes. Let the kids decorate the dog house. I promise that they will play in the dog house a very long time. This is one of the favorites of The Dog party.

Pin The Tail On The Doggie

Make a poster board with a dog on it. Make tails with construction paper. Play as you would Pin The Tail On The Donkey.

The Dog Birthday Party Cake Ideas

Bake a brown cake and use doggie cake toppers. Or make a dog face cake. Bake one 8 or 9 inch round cake any flavor and 2 cupcakes. Cool cake completely. Place the cake layer on a cake plate and frost the sides and top with brown. Cut 3/8 inch from 3 side of the cupcakes to create triangles. Place on the top of the cake to look like ears. Cover with frosting. Use candy to make your dog face.

The Dog Birthday Party Favor Ideas

Purchase green gift bags and stick black paw print stickers all over them. Place all your doggie goodies inside. Tie a blue ribbon on the handles for a perfectly coordinated party favor.

You could also use brown paper bags and write "Doggy Bag" on the outside. Fill with treats. Roll down the top a few times and punch two holes. Run a ribbon through the holes and tie in a bow.
