How to Make Your Own Invitations

If you are having a house warming party, you’ve probably spent loads of money on your new place and getting all your belongings there. If so, why not save yourself a little money and make your own invitations. Your house warming invitations don’t need to be fancy, but with a little know-how and creativity, you can make some great invitations that your guests will love.

Rather than simply buying blank invitations from your local party store, making your own invitations adds a personal touch. How you go about making your invitations should depend largely on how many people you intend to invite. For instance, if you are inviting approximately ten people, you can make your invitations from scratch using beautiful invitation paper and various decorative appliqués. However, if you intend to invite upwards of twenty or more guests, you may want to use your computer to design some great invitations that you can print off yourself.

If you are making invitations from scratch, be sure to have the following supplies on hand:

  • Heavy construction paper in several colors
  • Colorful markers and pens
  • Scissors
  • Stickers
  • Other appliqués (such as foam letters, glitter, or pom poms)
  • Glue

Using these supplies, you can make any type of invitation you so desire. Choose a simple color theme and simply add all pertinent information.

If you plan to design your invitations on your computer, there are many invitation templates online that you can download and use for free. These templates will help you add all your information and customize your invitations any way you like. You can then print the final invitation on some colorful printer paper. Adding some additional appliqués after is always a fun idea.

As you can see, making your own invitations isn’t as hard as it sounds. Just be sure to take your time and have a design in mind when you start.
