Making Birthday Invitation Cards

Making your own birthday invitation cards will add a special touch to your party.


Throwing a birthday party for someone can be a lot of fun-especially if you make your own invitations. The invitation is the first thing that your guests will see, so making a homemade card can leave a lasting impression. Keep your invitations simple and to the point. Your guests will remember more details if you just stick to the basic information such as the date, time and place of the party. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Gather all of the information that you will want to include in your invitation card and double check to be sure you haven't left out any pertinent details.


2. Purchase good quality card stock and envelopes to craft your invitations and write them out yourself for a more personal touch. Add embellishments to decorate your cards such as stickers, glitter and ribbon.


3. Review your guest list more than once to be sure that you have included everyone.


4. Include the date, time and location of the party and add a respond-by date with a contact person and phone number. This will help in giving you an idea of many people to expect when purchasing your food and drinks.


5. Mail the invitation cards three to four weeks prior to the party to give you and your guests enough time to plan for the celebration.
