DIY Baby Shower Invitations
Decorate baby shower invitations with baby-centered images.
Baby showers gather friends and family in joyful anticipation. Your invitations will reflect a celebration of life. Coordinate stationery colors to the gender of the soon-to-be newborn, or select a palette of pastel green, yellow, pink and/or blue. Add a picture of the mom-and-dad-to-be for the cover of the invitation. Decorate baby shower invitations with baby bottle or baby shoes. The website Baby Shower 101 offers a list of image suggestions. Phrase the invitation as a poem (see Resource section).
DIY Birthday Invitations
Create custom birthday party invitations.
A young adult's 21st birthday commands special attention. Use a word processor, such as Microsoft Word, to type birthday party invitation sentiments in the font of your choice. Decorate your invitations with clip art and/or images that reflect the birthday person's interests. For example, design a birthday invitation as a "Wanted" sign. Use Wild West images, such as rodeo riders and cattle drivers. Print the invitations on parchment-colored paper or card stock. Word the invitation according to the theme. Write, for example, "Wanted! Don't let the sun go down on you on July 29, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. We're roping you in and rounding you up to join Jim as he celebrates his 21st birthday."
DIY Graduation Party Invitations
Graduation parties celebrate remarkable achievement.
Graduation parties celebrate achievement. Reflect your pride in the graduate with DIY graduation party invitations. Use parchment paper and a black calligraphy font. Create invitations using formal wording, such as on a diploma. Write the graduate's name across the top of the invitation. Add that the graduate "is proud to announce her successful completion of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from (name of college). Join us as we celebrate her achievement on (date, time and location)." Add an image of the school. Use a software program, such as Microsoft Publisher or Word, for appropriate fonts and images.
