Birthday Party Invitation Template

Turn up the fun and excitement for your next birthday celebration with your own custom-made birthday party invitation templates. Instead of generic messages, custom invitations will jump start the theme of your party and make everyone look forward to it even more.

With just a few tools and a little knowledge, there are nearly endless possibilities for creating birthday invitations. These range from simple invitations made with a word processing program and a few graphics to an elaborate design made with a sophisticated graphics program.

Creating a Birthday Party Invitation with a Template

First, consider getting heavy cardstock to print your invitations on, which will give them a more professional feel. For simple invitations, use MS Word or another program to place the following information on the outside and inside of your cards:

• The name and age of the birthday boy or girl
• The location, time, and date of the party
• RSVP method and date
• Special considerations such as themed attire, swimwear, and so forth

There are a number of fonts, colored graphic, and pictures you can use even with basic word processing software to personalize an invitation and grab the invitees’ attention. For example, for a party on the beach, you can download vivid graphics or photos of beach scenes and copy them onto the page, and then resize them and add text and other graphics to suit the theme.

For those with more graphic design savvy, customizing a birthday invitation will be a fun project. As with other projects, start with the background color, and then build your layers from there. Then scatter themed designs in the background and place themed images anywhere you like. Use tools to focus on particular parts of the image, distort the image, enhance the vividness, or perform any other function. With a versatile graphics program, you can create invitations ranging from any kids’ theme to a Wild West theme to a sleek nightclub design.
