M & G Mustard & Gray Animal Parade children’s party invitations (A5, x24 invites only)
Product description
What they’re for
If you’re organising a children’s birthday and you want the invites to set the tone straight away, these M & G Mustard & Gray Animal Parade party invitations are built for that simple job. They’re dinosaur-themed, A5-sized, and designed so they’re easy to handle when you’re writing details and getting them ready for parents to keep an eye on.
A5 invitations also tend to be a practical choice: they fit neatly into envelopes and are large enough to read without feeling like a tiny postcard. And because they’re double-sided, the design isn’t something you only see if you flip the card over once—there’s a nice sense of completeness when the invite is on display.
Key features worth knowing
These are themed invitations with a dinosaur look (Animal Parade), and they come as “invites only”, so you’re not getting a matching set of envelopes or extra stationery included—worth checking your plan before you buy if you still need posting supplies.
On paper, the double-sided print is one of the more obvious quality touches for a children’s party invite. It’s the sort of thing that feels a bit more thoughtful than a single-sided design, especially if guests will glance at the back as well as the front.
There’s also a production angle that matters to some buyers: they’re printed on responsibly sourced paper in the UK, and designed and printed in the UK. That won’t change the dinosaur theme, but it can influence your purchase if you prefer to buy from brands that make a point of where materials and printing come from.
What stands out in everyday use
In real life, party admin can get messy—spreadsheets, sticker labels, last-minute schedule changes. These invitations are at least straightforward to work with: A5 gives you enough space for the basics, and the card size is easy for parents to read quickly when they’re checking what’s coming up.
A small micro-scenario: you sit down the evening before the party, pop an invite on the table, write the child’s name, date and time, then add a short note. With A5, you’re not fighting a cramped layout, and the double-sided dinosaur design makes the card feel more like part of the celebration rather than just a piece of paper.

Who they suit (and who should be cautious)
It’s a good fit if you want dinosaur-themed invitations for a child’s birthday and you like the idea of double-sided artwork without anything complicated. The UK printing and responsibly sourced paper angle can also be a deciding factor if sustainability and origin matter to you.
It might not suit you if you’re expecting a full invitation set beyond the invites themselves. Because they’re listed as “invites only”, you may need to source envelopes separately and plan how you’ll send them.
Also, if your priority is detailed custom wording space or specific formatting (rather than a simple themed invite card), you may find the A5 size is helpful but the design focus is more about theme than bespoke layout—so it’s worth double-checking that the invite card matches your exact information needs.
Should you buy them?
These M & G Mustard & Gray children’s party invitations make sense if you’re after a clear, dinosaur-themed invite for a birthday, with double-sided printing and a practical A5 size for everyday handling. The UK printing and responsibly sourced paper are sensible extras that can tilt the decision in your favour.
Buy them if you’re happy to work with an “invites only” pack and you’ve already got (or plan to get) envelopes and whatever else you need for posting or handing out.
Skip them if you wanted a complete matching stationery set included in the box, or if you need very specific wording space beyond what you’d expect from a standard themed A5 invitation.
