Ninja Themed Birthday Party Invitation
Once upon a time in feudal Japan, a group of mercenaries were involved themselves in espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare to fight their enemies or to anyone who threatens to destroy them. This infamous group call themselves ninja; who originally call themselves shinobi or shinobi-no-mono which means “to steal away; to hide” and mono means “a person”.

Nowadays, in the modern times, ninjas are persons of the past but their popularity and legacy remains. Their physical stealth when it comes to physical fight is often admired by people. In popular culture, ninjas are watered down for their ruthlessness for their new audience such as little kids who enjoy adventure and action that the ninjas are known for.
