creative invitation ideas for your next party

Yes, Virginia, There Are Free Party Invitations

Are there really such things as free party invitations? Yes, and with a little shopping savvy and creativity you can invite guests to your party for next to or absolutely nothing.

Just Google “free invitations” and you’ll find more than two million sites with some type of invitation ideas. Many of these sites offer free printable invitations. What’s free about these invitations is the design. You can download a pre-designed invitation that fits your party theme and print it from your desktop printer. Your only costs are the paper, printer ink, envelopes and postage.

For absolutely free invitations, use a web site that sends free electronic greetings. These sites have hundreds of card and invitation designs to pick from. Many of the designs are animated. Create your e-invitations by entering the party details. The electronic greetings site will e-mail these invitations to your party guests.

You Can Get Creative

You don’t even have to be that fancy. You can create a party invitation right in your e-mail program. Use colorful fonts and stationery backgrounds. Experiment to see what options your e-mail provider offers. All the tools you need for free, creative invitations may be right on your desktop.

Many companies that sell invitation papers and cards offer product samples. I ordered a paper sample kit from Paper Direct (www.paperdirect.com). I paid a small fee for the sample pack but have used the pre-printed papers for all kinds of invitations. No one ever said all the invitations to a party have to be identical.

Here are some more creative ideas for making free or low-cost invitations:

Print invitations for a retirement or graduation party in red ink on the want ads.
Inflate a balloon and write the birthday party invitation with permanent marker. Deflate the balloon and mail it in an envelope.
Create postcard invitations that will save on postage.
Hand deliver old-fashioned handwritten party invitations.
