Make party invitation cards yourself - how it works

To make cool party invitation cards yourself, you can use ready-made templates, great pictures and creative fonts. We show you different options for beginners and professionals.

Create party invitation cards: simple, fast and chic

Beginners use the Word templates for the Pary invitation cards. Alternatively, you can of course also use templates for OpenOffice.

1. In Word, click "File"> "New" and type "Party".
2. You will now see numerous templates, of which you have to double-click to select one.
3. With most invitations you only have to replace the text, but you can also exchange entire pictures.
4. On sites like 123GIF you can get inspiration and use lots of free images.
5. If you are satisfied with the invitation, click on "File"> "Export"> "Create PDF document" and save the file as a PDF.

Professional party invitation with Photoshop, InDesign or QuarkXpress

• There's no getting around Photoshop for professional-level party invitations: elaborate image processing, precise positioning and cool effects - this is only possible with the appropriate software, such as Adobe Photoshop. You can also use royalty-free images here.
• If the party invitation should be simpler, but still at a high level, you can also use layout software such as InDesign and QuarkXpress.
• Most providers grant the full range of functions in the 30-day test phase, so that you initially do not incur any costs.

That's how it's done

1. Then you first create a new project in A5 or A6 and insert a background image. This can also be a gradient or a pattern.
2. Then you create the headline, add an effect and then add all further information in text boxes.
3. When the invitation is ready, export it as a PDF. Make sure to convert the dates into curves so that the invitation can be printed correctly. You should also have at least 300 DPI - otherwise the invitation is pixelated.

Everything ready? Then all you have to do is print the invitations. Professional print shops offer the best quality for just a few euros. We recommend double-sided color printing (4/4) with at least 100 grams of paper.
