Answer 1

First think of a theme. Then think of a cool way to match everything up. If it's an a hawaiian theme you can type the info onto a sheet of paper and glue it to a flower cut out in paper and lei your invitees. You could also buy cd's and make a mixed cd. Burn a skin with your party info on the top. You could paste the invitation onto a notebook if it's a theme that had to do with romance. Check the travel beauty section for mini lip balms/ sun blocks that could go with a beach theme. Type the invitation onto colored paper and include directions to the party. Have an intro:
Come celebrate with me! It's a bling party!
Ask your guests to arrive blinged out and have a prize for the most Glamourous looking guests. Wear your sunglasses the whole party and dress up. wear your mom's boa!

HiP Hop Party Peggy is twelve
HAve a dance off and a freestyle rap competetion.
Make up rapper names for your guests and make froot loop "gold chains"
Aloha! Bring your swimsuit to celebrate my bdaY!
Buy water guns and have a water balloon fight. Do a limbo under the water hose... even better if it's a punctured one. Do a sassy hula dance.
ALways include time, place, what you are celebrating, the time it will begin when it will end . Directions and what if anything you expect them to bring.
Bring a towel, Bring your favorite candy to share ( If you all are going to have a movie/scary themed party)
bring a change of clothes. Wear comfortable shoes.( Neighborhood scavenger hunt 007 themed party) Dress up fancy ... We Will be Glamorous.
Happy Birthday I hope these ideas help.

Answer 2

If you hand deliver you can go with the fashion of extreme big cards, but they have to be perfect, and the only way to get them right is buying them in a shop.
If you mail you have to stay within the limits the postal services set.
That is still big, you can use the full size of the paper of a printer, (Letter/A4?) and print it all the way.
But I think it is better to use half the size, fold it double and use the front and inside.

Use cardboard or plain card stock for a backing if you want a BIG single card and add all you can think about to the front.
Stick a piece of paper with your address, time of the party, style (if you want your friends to be dressed in a certain way) and what they can bring for gifts or need (sleep-over needs night clothing and pool needs bathing suits and so on,) on the back or the inside.

Look in a card shop, or on a cards site, for cards you like and make yours that way.

Have the best party ever given for your 12th!
