Example of Make Your own Invitations
|
|
Making your own invitations is not only fun, it's a great way of getting exactly what you want. You're not stuck with whatever's in the shops, schlock-based designs, or those wonderful price tags we all love.
You can make very good quality invitations with a bit of practice. The best invitations are those with real creative flair and imagination. They're actually a matter of taste and style, and you can fire them off to friends you know will get the jokes, too.
Basics
A good invitation needs:
|
- A theme or motif. What sort of design and graphics would you like?
- A reason for the invitation. This can be fun. You can have a ball with your friends figuring out ways of inviting them to a party or other event.
- Formal, fancy dress, come as you are? Think about this one. If you've got friends who know how to fancy dress, have formal clothes, and/or who won't scare the cat if they come as they are, this part of the invitation can be a riot.

Invitation content
Your invitations should contain this information:
- Names of people invited (preferably highlighted or in fancy text)
- The place, time and date of the event or party
- Instructions for the party (fancy dress, BYO, food, gifts, etc.)
- Reply contacts:
- RSVP with envelope or contacts
- Dates for reply
- Personalized content for each addressee (Notes, etc. on the invitation)
Making your own invitations can be real fun, and it also encourages the people you invite more than store-bought invitations.
