If the honey-lovin' bear is your child's favorite furry friend, then get ready to hike on over to 100 Acre Wood for a Winnie the Pooh birthday party. It is a perfect choice for a first birthday. To help get you started, here's some ideas for Winnie the Pooh invitations.

POOH BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITES - Cut a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Download Winnie the Pooh characters and glue them to the front of the card stock. On the inside, hand-write in calligraphy:

Option #1:
Let's have fun,
Cuz' I'm turning one.
Come be a part of my splendiferious birthday fun!

Option #2
Pooh & Tigger both agree,
The House at Pooh Corner is the place to be.
Come be a part of my splendiferious birthday fun!

Option #3
Winnie the Pooh & Tigger too,
Want to invite you to my debut.
I'm turning one,
So come have fun.

On the right-hand side, write your party details on a piece of coordinating scrapbook paper. Cut the finished piece with decorative scissors to 3"x 4 1/2". Glue to the right side of the card stock. Decorate the corners with Winnie the Pooh stickers.

RED BALLOON INVITES - Make your invite as noted above or below, and attach them to single red balloons and hand-deliver.

HONEY POT INVITES - Print out or copy a picture of a large honey pot and write on the front, "It Would Be So Sweet If You Came To My 1st Birthday!" On the back, write out all of your party details. Cut out a spoon shape from a piece of cardstock and glue it to the side of your honey pot. Put a sticker on the oval spoon and glue a small bow around the handle.

POOH BEAR INVITES - Make an invitation as noted above or below. Hole-punch the upper left-hand corner and string a ribbon through it. Tie it to a small stuffed or beanie type Pooh bear. You could also tie a small red balloon to the bear's wrist. Hand-deliver your invites.

WINNIE THE POOH PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors, trim the edges of a photo of your child in a Winnie the Pooh costume, so it is slightly smaller than the card stock. Glue the photo to the front of the invitation. Put "Come To My Splendiferious 1st Birthday!" above the photo. On textured white paper (finished size 4 1/2" x 7 1/2") either type or hand-write in calligraphy the following party details:

Baby Pooh Bear: (Birthday Child's Name)
Bear Facts: (Date & Time of Party)
House at Pooh Corner: (Address of Party)
RSVP to Mama Bear: (Parent Name & Phone Number)
Bring your own highchair, walker, whatever you want them to bring.

Using decorative scissors cut insert and glue to the inside of the card stock. Finish it off with a few Winnie the Pooh stickers.
