Diary of a Wimpy Kid Party Invitations

Become inspired for your party invitations by Greg Heffley himself. With either option, use the fun phrase, “come to my party ’cause I will be famous one day!"

  • To make your own party invitations, start with a piece of white rectangular construction paper and gently rip the left side of the paper to give the effect of being ripped out of Greg’s journal (not diary). Then, using a ruler and red pen, draw a vertical line about an inch from the ripped edge. Next, using a blue pen and ruler draw lines starting about two inches from the top and going down the page about one inch apart. After that, use a thin black pen to write out your party information and finish with a stick figure drawing of Greg and Rowley wearing party hats.
  • Another option to make your own party invitation is to create a simple one strip comic on the computer. Create a comic with Greg asking Rowley to his awesome party though the scenes, each giving a detail of information. Finally, end the comic with them wearing party hats and saying that it is a great party.

  • Twisted Wizard  -make up your own version of the Twisted Wizard. This is the game that Greg wanted for his birthday, but instead he got a red sweater. Make a number of riddles for the kids to solve. Each riddle will make them find the next riddle and at the end of the trail they can find a large bowl of candy covered by a picture of a wizard instructing the kids to only eat at their own risk because a spell has been caste on them.
  • Red Sweater Wimpy Kid - make a joke of the red sweater. Have each of the kids try on the red sweater and see / vote to see who looks most like the wimpy kid (make sure no one will take this to heart).
  • Worms Estimation - have a large mason jar and fill it with gummy worms. Have a vote to see who can estimate the closest number of worms in the jar. The winner gets to take the jar of worms home.

  • Zoo Wee Mama (comic strip) -make your own comic strips. First, formulate a joke. Next, draw out the comic strip in black or blue pen. Next, color in just accents in black, blue and red (leave mostly white). Finally, stand up, show your comic strip and read the joke.
  • Party (Yearbook) Awards - class clown etc. Create good hearted and some joke awards. Print these out before hand and leave a space for the pictures. Take photos of the kids acting out all of the awards. Have the kids quietly vote. Tally them up and then print out the winners of the awards. Hang the awards in one of the party rooms and let them find out by seeing the picture on the wall.
