My daughter who is turning 7 would like a "bunny" themed birthday party in September. Any invitation wording ideas? Besides an egg hunt (where can I find plastic eggs in August), any other ideas? Thanks again

What can I do next?

You could ask on freecycle.org for eggs. TONS of people will happy to get rid of them. You could phrase it like "The Easter bunny wants to celebrate (insert name)'s b-day so bad that he couldn't wait until April! Join us for an egg hunt... (insert more info here). :) My soon to be 10 year old girl wants a Mario party. No idea how I'm gonna pull that one off....

You can dye eggs like you do at Easter...maybe pin the tail on the bunny? Just thinking quickly at wording ideas, you can say something like "Hop on over to so-and-so's house for a birthday party". You can make bunny ear headbands as a craft...I'm sure the dollar store sells plastic headbands you can cover with felt and cut out felt ears to glue on. Stuff like that? I don't know, my baby girl is only 13 months:) Hope this helps!

I haven't read the other answers - forgive me if I'm repeating.

A bunny hop race would be fun - they have to hop instead of run. You could also make a pin the tail on the bunny poster and use cotton balls for the tails (double stick tape should hold well enough to get through the game.) Family Fun magazine has cute bunny shaped pear snacks that you ought to be able to look up (www.familyfun.com). You could build a small obstacle course and be Peter Rabbitt and siblings trying to escape from Mr. MacGregor's garden.

"Hop on over for a bunny of a good time". You could rent a jumper/bounce house that has a bunny on it. Don't know if you have Freecycle there but if so, you could put plastic eggs out as a wanted item. You could have carrots and dip as a finger food.

oh, how fun! here are a few ideas:

Pin the (fluffy) tail on the bunny!
A craft where they decorate bunny masks or bunny ears to wear.
Create games with bunny tails (cotton balls) - carry a cotton ball in a spoon as a race, move cotton balls from one location to another using their nose (with a little vaseline)
Stick bunny tails on all the guests, the one whose tail lasts the longest wins
Bunny hop races

Snacks: carrots, Deviled eggs, Bunny chow (chex mix or similar), Trix (remember the trix rabbit?), chocolate milk (remember the nesquick bunny)

Have fun!

How about "We hop you will come to a bunny day birthday party for......." and then list the place, date, and time. Make your own invitations and print them out.
You may be able to find plastic eggs online (try Amazon) or even ask at a party supply store, they may have some in storage from Easter.
For games you can have an egg hunt, a bunny hop race, pin the tail on the bunny (a picture of a bunny and give each child a different colored cotton ball with tape on it to put on the picture), do a puzzle game (cut up a picture of a bunny and time how long it takes to put back together), and have the kids list what foods bunnies like to eat.
Also check to see if there are any local farmers or pet stores that might have a petting zoo type set up and get a couple of bunnies that the kids might get to pet and feed. For a friend's party it was a cowboy theme and she found a stable that brought a pony for the kids to ride and a cow for them to feed and pet. The kids loved it!

Good luck!

"Hop on over for a birthday party. XX is turning 7"
"Hoppy Birthday! We're eggs-ited to invite you to XX's 7th birthday party"

Games- how about "Bunny" bingo. Instead of BINGO across the top replace with "BUNNY" You can make your own on the computer and print onto cardstock paper. I did the same thing for a wedding shower (substituted BRIDE instead of BINGO). I found a bingo template for free online, made my own, 4 fit on a page, bought different colored card stock paper from Staples/Office depot (it's like $.15/page), printed them at home, and cut them apart.

HOP! HOP! HOORAY! So-and-So is Seven Today! (I used this for my son's Frog theme party)

You might be able to get some eggs by posting a wanted ad on Free-cycle. I know I have some, but no one wants them after Easter!

- Pin the tail on the Bunny (use cotton balls or large marhmallows)
- Craft station where they decorate bunny ears (attach to a headband)
- Coloring eggs

Thats all I can come up with off the top of my head; good luck!

(guess I should have read the others before posting!)
