When my son turned four years old, he wanted to have a dinosaur birthday party. As with all the birthday parties I plan, the first step was nailing down an invitation design. The dinosaur birthday invitations online were a mixed bag. Some were great, but not quite what I was looking for. Other dinosaur party invitations were downright ugly.
So I made my own dino party invitation! This was also the only party where I didnโt have any printed, and just used the design on Facebook. NEVER again. I love having the printed ones!
But I know not everyone is able to make dinosaur birthday party invitations for themselves. After seeing the lack of variety, I made a whole collection of dinosaur invitations. And Iโm even giving a dino invitation template away for FREE!
Most people dino birthday invitations are for boys, but girls like dinosaurs too. So Iโve made some cute girly dinosaur invitations, too. Because sometimes girls still prefer feminine colors with their dinosaurs!

Dinosaur First Birthday Invitations
Since our babies canโt quite tell us what theyโd like the best, we have to decide things for them. Dinosaurs are a popular 1st birthday theme because a baby dinosaur party is so stinkinโ cute!
Baby Dinosaur Invitations
This dinosaur birthday invitation for babies turning one features a toddler wearing a dinosaur costume โ how cute! The wording includes โLetโs chomp, stomp, and have some fun!โ to rhyme with the word โone.โ

For each of my designs, Iโm offering a cheap dinosaur template invitation you can download immediately instead of waiting for it to be personalized (because you might need to hand them out, like, TODAY).
You could fill in the details the old-fashioned way with a pen (on the dark ones, I recommend silver sharpie pens or white gel pens). Or you can use a photo editing app on your phone or tablet to type in the details!
Then, you can either have them printed to hand out and/or mail, or just send them virtually via text, email, or Facebook.

Toddler Dinosaur Invitations
Dinosaur birthday party invitations are often needed for the two- to the four-year-old crowd. Why are dinosaurs so fascinating to that age group? Probably because they are so tiny, and dinosaurs are so BIG!
2nd Birthday Dinosaur Invitations
โTwo Wildโ pretty much nails the description of most toddlers. Iโve seen the phrase used on jungle, safari, and zoo-themed birthday parties, but I think it works perfectly with dinosaurs as well! And it sounds a little nicer than โterrible twos.โ

This dinosaur birthday invitation template will look great when filled out with a gold Sharpie pen!

3-Rex (T-Rex) Dinosaur Invitations
How do you invite a dinosaur to lunch?
You ask, โTea, Rex?โ Haha!
All jokes aside, when planning my dinosaur 3rd birthday invitation wording, I tried to make triceratops work. But all โtriโ jokes seemed a bit too out there for toddlers to really appreciate. Three-Rex works much better!

The reason Iโve made all my dinosaur birthday party invitations printable is that ordering custom-printed invitations can get super expensive. (Yes, you can still use my PNG files to order prints, but I wanted everyone to have the option to do them from home!)

Dino-Four Invitations
A whole year after his fourth birthday party, my son still absolutely loves dinosaurs, so Iโm glad we went with this theme! I even made some digital art of him from his party using the โDino-Fourโ phrase!
Featuring a birthday dinosaur complete with a noisemaker and a party hat, this invitation is one of my favorites from this collection. It also features my sonโs favorite colors!

Personally, my favorite dinosaur is and has ALWAYS been the triceratops. This dates back to Cera, the orange triceratops in the Land Before Time movies. I identify with her bossiness and stubbornness. ๐
