Hey, cool cats! If you want to go all out on your birthday — or your cat’s birthday — then a theme party would be the cat’s pajamas. (And now that we think of it, a “cat’s pajamas” theme would be purrfect for a slumber party.)

Cats should be every birthday girl and boy’s inspiration. After all, cats do what they want all day, every day. If that’s not birthday energy, then we don’t know what is. So for your special day, embrace your inner feline with a fierce party theme.

A cat birthday party theme has so much paw-tential. You can fill your space with kitty cat party decorations, serve up some sushi (what else would a cat eat?!), and wear cat ears instead of party hats. But before you get your claws into all the party details, the best place to start is with your birthday party invitations.

Your invitation cards are your guests’ first introduction to your birthday party. Make a big Maine Coon-sized impression by sending out invitations that are the cat’s meow. We’ll help you choose the purrfect cat birthday invitations for your party, plus we’ll share some of our favorite messages to get the party started.
