My son is turning 3 the end of July. I know that it is early for me to even be worrying about his birthday party but I am going out of the country for three weeks (for school) starting the 20th of June. My husband and I are wanting to throw a 4-wheeler themed birthday party. We are country people and are getting our son a 4-wheeler for his birthday (my husband or I will be on it with our son all the time). It turns out that they do not make 4-wheeler themed party anything. So, I thought I would make the invitations myself. I am having a hard time finding any kind of off-road/4-wheeler scrapbooking supplies. I figured this would be the best way and easiest way to make the invitations. If you have any ideas on how to do these invitations please let me know. I am all out of good ideas. Thanks in advance for the advice and help.

Hi,
This website has really cute, 4-wheeler invitations.. Have Fun!!

You could create a 4 Wheeler Crossing Sign on the front and the invitation details on the back. It would take basic clip art of a 4 wheeler in black on top of a square shape card stock...use yellow and black coloring like a road sign. Then on the backside or front say Turning 3 & movin' onto 4! Or something with a play on driving & 4 wheeler. You could make it more unique by using a decorative paper pin to fasten two card stock together so the wording is on the inside & the front can rotate up or fold up?
Most household printers can't handle good card stock though...I would take the design to Kinkos, Staples or some print shop to have them print everything for you.
google images online. copy and past an image onto photoshop or another program. or you can go to vistaprint.com and upload your image to have a professional card made for you. or print the image onto cardstock to use for your scrapbook idea. i've seen atv scrapbook stickers before, maybe look at hobby lobby...
Check out these websites for ideas... GOOD LUCK!

Try looking for 4-wheeler stickers that you could use on the invitations. Micheal's, Hobby Lobby, or any scrap booking store has a great selection of stickers. Good Luck!
Try the 'track' route. Hope you make tracks to ____'s 3rd bday party. Or- ____ is making tracks on his 3rd bday. Have a cool dirt cake (crushed oreos) with toy 4-wheelers on it.
You coudl cut images out of a 4 wheeler magazine and trace your own image, have you son color the 4 wheeler and make coloerd copies for the invite.
Have you checked on eBay at all? I've ordered custom invitations numerous times from different sellers on eBay and many of them carry multiple graphics. Might be worth checking into just in case someone might have a 4 wheeler design that would work for you.
Try Google Images for some inspiration. Tons of stuff!
Good luck!

My husband and I do invitations. If you you would like us to take them off your hand just let us know. I have some suggestions for you.
I would be happy to help, if you are still looking. I am sure I can come up with a four wheel design that would work for you. All of my work is custom
I have used this Etsy.com seller for unique (read: my son's love of all things involving a vacuum, lol) cupcake toppers and they turned out great! She can do custom anything.

Or you could buy printable invitations (Target, Office Depot, etc) and use cute clipart/graphics and make your own that way.
I design birthday cards on the side of whatever theme. It is very cutesy and can include a picture of your son on it. I create two different designs and you pick one of the two. I send it to a Walgreens near you and all you have to do is pick them up there. Very simple and original.
Email me or PM me if you are interested.
I can show you some of the work I have done.
Try a teacher supply store. I know I have seen 4 wheeler die cuts that could easily be turned into invitations.
I usually go to Teacher Tools in Allen and US Toy in Plano.
I just made my son's train party invitations from scratch too b'c I didn't want a Thomas party, but just a Train party for him. I would try "googling" for a honda or 4-wheeler die-cut that you can print from the internet. Cut it out, then trace the image onto a piece of colored cardstock to adhere to a colored/blank invitation which you can pick up in the scrappy aisles of any HL or Michaels. I added some ribbon and some brads. Then I used a stamp for the inside that had the details for Who, where, time, etc. Hope that helps! If you have a cricut (aka die-cut machine), and the right cartridge, that would save some time, but those are very expensive. Hope all this inspires you to create exactly what you need.
I've gotten several ideas from this site:
