DIY Birthday Party Invitations

Making your own birthday party invitations can be lots of fun! Today's variety of software programs makes it easy to make professional looking invitations from home, often for much less than buying packages of invites, especially if you are having a large party. Head to an arts and crafts or stationary store to pick out the best cardstock.

Some are plain and others already have the pattern/picture for you, and you simply fill in the details. One fun idea is to get your kid's involved. Have the birthday kid help design their own birthday party invitations! They can pick the color, font, and you can show them how it works on the computer. Another option is to have your child even draw a picture for their own invitations! That can be scanned and uploaded to your computer, making a very unique party invitation that your guests will never forget. Don't forget to print matching Thank You notes and you will be all set!
