Incorporate monkey-themed toys into loot bags and party favors.
The image of a monkey evokes fun, whimsical feelings and thoughts of bananas, the jungle and big green trees. If you're making monkey invitations, keep the theme going with a monkey-centric cake, cupcakes and loot bags. Incorporate party games like a monkey pinata, and transform Pin the Tail on the Donkey into Pin the Tail on the Monkey.
Paper
Black and white images of monkeys dress up an adult party.
You can use almost any color paper as a background for your monkey invitations. Steer toward white or light-colored paper if you're using rubber stamps or creating your own monkey pattern on the backdrop; you don't want a dark or shiny paper to overshadow your hard and impressive work. Monkeys love bananas, so consider using yellow as the backdrop. A pale beige, pale pink or blue also work as suitable backdrops.
Accesories
Add brown faux fur to the invitation as a fun touch. Incorporate it as a trim, or cover a stenciled monkey in brown faux fur. Emboss yellow bananas and green leafy trees as a backdrop on the cover of the invitation. Weave ribbons through the edge of the invite; select a color that coordinates with the remainder of your invitation.
Tools
High-quality scissors, a paper cutter, crafting glue, a glue stick and monkey, banana and leaf stencils as well as crafting paint and an assortment of fabric are among the tools you need to assemble your homemade monkey invitations. Use a long, flat surface and make your invitations assembly-line style.
Using the Theme
A cute little brown monkey theme is an image that works for many baby showers. A monkey theme also works for a children's birthday party or even for an adult party; perhaps you can play on the idea of monkey business.
