Ten-year-olds have strong opinions about parties, and mini golf passes every test: it is outside, it is a competition, and nobody has to sit still. This invitation is built like a tiny course, with a cut-paper green, a red flag at the hole, a putter resting in the grass and a ring of leaves and flowers around the edge, so the message reads as part of the scene.
The headline is already there. Fill in the birthday child’s name, the day and where the course is, and it can go to the whole class.
Book a tee time for the group an hour before the cake, hand every guest a scorecard at the gate, and give the winner something small and ridiculous. Pizza at the picnic tables afterward finishes it. Keep the whole thing to two and a half hours; the course does the entertaining.
