Adjust ears or cut smaller before gluing.

Glue all the pieces together.

This is when we thought how cute and easy  adding a dress underskirt would be

To add frilly underskirt:

Glue a piece of white paper, lace, fabric, tulle or anything pretty onto bottom of dress. 

Trim to 1 or 2 inches

Finished "Eared Minnie Dress" invitation 

should fit perfectly into envelope. 

Writing name and address for
guests and birthday girl is a great way to help children learn family and friends full names and addresses, to learn their own address and excellent preparation for sending thank you notes. 


Kids love getting and sending the mail.
Hand delivering to the person who will probably drive little guests to the party?
Add a fun sticker for stamp and remind adult 
to let little invitee open the envelope.

Enjoy creating and party planning with your birthday girl. It is her special day, enjoy your time together, let her know she is wonderful and 
have FUN!
