Should you make or buy your party invitations? It all depends on you. Do you enjoy making things yourself, or making things unique for your party? If you’re someone who likes to have something totally unique, and different, then hand made invitations could be the way to go.

If you decide to go with handmade invitations, you don’t have to stick to the standard invites. You can print your message and attach it to a candy bar, or a small gift box or some other item to get your guests attention.

When you’re planning your child’s party there are several things you should consider when you’re deciding who to invite. The main factor in deciding who and how many to invite to your child’s party is your child’s age.

Younger children, especially during the toddler years, don’t really have friends yet. So most of the guests are friends of the family, and the children can be a broad range of ages.
When children get a little older, and start to make friends, then it is important to let them have some say in the guest list.

Party invitations are a big business. Even if you’re purchasing store bought invitations for a kids’ birthday party you can spend $10 to $20 after they’re all mailed out. Plus, if you’re having a small party, save five or so kids, you end up buying a whole pack of invitations, most of which you won’t use. Fortunately, there are a few ways to save money and waste.

Use Evite or another online invitation service. Evite is free and sends a custom designed (by you) invitation to your guests’ email addresses. You can set it up to ping you every …read more

I thought these cards were absolutely wonderful! They are the Fabulous Party Holiday & Christmas Cards by R.Nichols and I fell in love with the design.
Although they are meant to be used as just a card, I also thought they would make great invitations to a holiday party. You could print up the necessary party invitation information on some pretty paper and slip it into the card. This would save you some time from having to write it out on each card. On the card itself you could write “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” and sign your name.
Here’s …read more
