Why parents love it
- An original watercolor monkey. Most monkey party invites reuse the same flat cartoon on yellow stripes. This one is a soft, hand painted monkey with bananas sitting on clouds, so it looks like a page from a storybook and stands apart from the usual cards.
- One purchase, two ways to send. Print the 5x7 card for the party table and text the JPG to the family chat, without buying a second file.
- A slogan that sets the theme. Monkey See, Monkey Do tells guests what kind of party it is before they read a single detail.
Perfect for
- A banana themed party at home. Print a stack on white cardstock and stand one next to the banana cake as a keepsake.
- A daycare or playgroup celebration. Text the JPG to the class parents so nobody has to keep track of a paper copy.
- A zoo or park birthday. The little monkey sets the scene for a day of animals and outdoor games before anyone arrives.
- Grandparents and family who live far away. Send the invitation by WhatsApp so everyone sees it the same evening.
- A party planned at the last minute. Edit it on your phone during nap time and have it out to guests by dinner.
✦ good to know
Tiny questions.
Easy answers.
The little things parents ask right before hitting buy. Still stuck? We’re one Etsy message away.
Ask on Etsy ↗Can I change the Monkey See, Monkey Do line at the top?
Yes. The arched line is editable text, so you can keep it or type your own short phrase. Try "Go bananas with us for [Name]'s birthday." Everything below the monkey, from his name to the RSVP line, is editable too.
Can I use this monkey birthday invitation for a girl?
It's styled for a boy, but nothing in the artwork is boy only. Change the name and switch the red lettering to a softer color in Canva, and it works just as well for a girl's monkey party.
Can I change the colors to match my party?
Every text color and font is editable in Canva, so you can match the red lettering to your balloons or tablecloth. The watercolor monkey, bananas and clouds are painted artwork, so they keep their yellow, brown and white look.
How do I print the invitation once it is done?
Download the print ready PDF with crop marks and print at home on white cardstock, use a local print shop, or upload to an online printer. The monkey card is sized 5x7 inches, and the JPG's best for texting it to guests.
