Purr-fect Party Invitations
“Free Editable Gabby’s Dollhouse Templates!”
Okay, let’s talk invites. Because let’s be honest, this is the first impression of your party, and we all know that first impressions matter—especially to toddlers who take their theme parties very seriously. You could spend hours browsing Etsy, scrolling through endless options while questioning whether “pastel whimsical chic” or “cartoon cat-core” is more your vibe. But then, reality hits. Custom invitations? They cost more than your weekly grocery bill. And let’s be real—if you’re going to drop that much cash, it should be on cake, decorations, or an emergency stash of coffee for yourself.
Or, hear me out, you could snag these free editable Gabby’s Dollhouse invitations (like the ones in the image above!) and save yourself time, money, and a potential meltdown over font choices. Because let’s be honest—at some point, you’ll start questioning if “whimsical cursive” is actually readable or if your grandma will think she’s been invited to a Baby Shower for Gabby instead of a birthday party.
These invitations are a total game-changer. They’re bright, adorable, and designed with the perfect mix of fun and practicality. And the best part? They’re fully editable on Canva. That means no awkwardly squeezing your details into a pre-set template that only allows five words before cutting off mid-sentence. Just type in your party details, tweak the colors (if you want), and boom—you’ve got a personalized, professional-looking invite ready to send out.
And let’s talk about convenience! You can print them at home, send them digitally, or even text them to guests because, let’s face it, most of us don’t even check our mailboxes unless we’re expecting a package. Plus, if you have a last-minute change—like deciding maybe you shouldn’t start the party at 7 AM because that’s when your kid wakes up, but no one else wants to be at a party at sunrise—you can edit and resend them in minutes.
So save yourself the stress, ditch the overpriced invites, and grab these free Gabby’s Dollhouse invitation templates instead. Your wallet will thank you, your party will still look Pinterest-perfect, and best of all? You’ll have more time to focus on the fun stuff—like figuring out how to make your living room look like a magical cat-filled dollhouse.

Feeling a little more adventurous? The backyard is a fantastic option for warm-weather birthdays. String up some fairy lights, set up a DIY photo booth, and let the kids run wild without fear of someone knocking over a priceless family heirloom. If you’re in a colder climate or just don’t want to deal with cleanup, a local play café or community center can be a great choice, especially if you can find one that lets you bring your own decorations.

It depends on how extra you want to go! If you DIY decorations, use free invitations and printables, and make the cake yourself, you can easily keep it under $100. If you’re going full celebrity-style with a custom cake, balloon arches, and a venue, well… sky’s the limit.
