by Amy Carter, Amy

Your birthday is such a special occasion; make sure to up the dazzle factor with a special birthday invitation. And extra sparkle for your birthday invitation can come from a simple, yet bright accent like glitter. Glitter is a simple and inexpensive way to dress up cards, letters, notes and invitations.

How to add glitter to your birthday invitations

The actual glitter product comes in many forms. The two most popular forms of glitter are the ?glue-on? and the ?spray-on.? Both of these can be found at your local craft store. While they are both glitter, they can have two different effects.

Glue-on glitter is used with a clear drying adhesive. Apply the glue in the shape you'd like the glitter, and then sprinkle the glitter on your birthday invitation. This makes your glitter localized on the invitation. You can make many playful shapes and designs this way. This method goes great with a plain invitation with no other pattern or design.

The spray-on method gives you more of an all-over glitter look. This method is perfect for your invitation if you have an all-over design or a multicolor design on your birthday invitation. Spray glitter will add an attractive effect and make your birthday invitations stand out.

When to use glitter on your birthday invitations

Before you use any type of glitter on your invitation take a look at your overall design. If you've chosen a big, bright pattern or multiple colors and designs, glitter might be overkill. Using glitter should enhance and highlight your invitation, not make it look overdone and gaudy. A good rule of thumb is to keep your birthday invitation to 2-3 elements. Any more than this and you'll risk having an invitation that is just a mess. Don't feel that you have to add glitter just to have something to add. Incorporate glitter into your birthday invitation from the start and you'll have the right look.

An attractive birthday invitation for kids and adults

Glitter has many great applications for birthday invitations of all kinds. Use glitter for your little girl's birthday invitation to make her feel like a princess. Add stars, suns and moons to your little astronaut's birthday invitations for an out-of-this world look. Even grown-up kids can enjoy some glitter on their birthday invitations. An all-over spray can make your birthday invitation sparkle and shine ? perfect for a big milestone birthday. A sheen of silver glitter spray on a black invitation can make any birthday invitation look like a million bucks!

Games and activities

While the usual yard games can work very well for a June party, but you might need something a little more original to make your party memorable. Get your construction gear out for a fun construction party. Lots of building construction starts in June, so play along with toy tools and building materials. Send your construction themed birthday day invitations to get all your ‘workers' and guests in the mood.

June is also a great time for a carnival or circus. Try a petting zoo or mini-midway games to get your circus up and running. Hot dogs, cotton candy and popcorn can fit perfectly into your circus theme. If you have the budget there are lots of grand circus themed games and decorations. But even on a modest budget a circus theme can be fun and easy.

A pool party can be a great idea for a June birthday party, too. If you don't have a pool in your yard, check out your local community pool or rec center. Not only might they have a pool for you to use, but they may have a space for your event, too.

Invitations

Make a big splash with a pool party invitation or make a big statement with your carnival invitation. Not only is the weather perfect, but your possibilities are endless when it comes to themes for your June birthday.

Keep your colors and patterns bright and fun to keep with the season. June colors should be bright, maybe even a neon color or bright blue to match the bright June sky.

Don't forget; Father's day is in June. Make sure you don't overshadow dad's day with your birthday party. Save the third Sunday in June for Dad. Other than that, any day in June is a great day for a party.

One other word of advice; set a time limit. The weather in June will stay warmer well into the evening and your guests may want to linger. If you send out your birthday invitation with a definite time limit you guests will know when it is time to say goodbye.

Make the most of your June birthday party with fun outdoor themes and activities. It doesn't have to be fancy to be fun.
