Party invitation templates

DIY birthday invitations are easy to make, and the best process will depend on the type of party, your preferred sending method, and how much time you want to invest to create an awesome design. You could certainly have yourself a craft party before the party if you want to crank out dozens of handmade cards with all the accoutrements. Or you could use Create to make a digital birthday invitation that you can then print in any number of copies or even send digitally. No matter which route you prefer, the how-to steps are similar. Brainstorm the essential information (AKA date, time, and location), think about the overall design vibe, and play around until your invitation looks perfect.

While party invite deets like time and date do matter, the vibe you set is what gets people in the party mood! Party invitations are so much more than logistical (though they're certainly helpful for planning). They're also a way to set the stage for your soiree, whether it's a 5-year-old's jungle-themed birthday party or an adults-only New Year's bash. Build up the right mood for your party by teasing the theme on the invitations. If it's a fancy night out, use elegant fonts and luxe metallic detailing. If it's a kid's party, embrace color and playful hand-drawn details. (You can add any of these in Create with just a few clicks.) Oh, and before wrapping up your design, do make sure you've listed the time, date, location, and RSVP details. That's it!

A wedding invitation can feel intimidating given the eternal bond you're about to forge...but the good news is that wedding invitations are really like any other. There's no need to feel extra pressure just because it's related to your wedding. To write the best wedding invitation, make sure to include the essentials: a headline announcing the event plus the time, date, and location. And don't forget to provide reception details, dress code information, or restrictions on children or infants if any of those apply to your big day.
