DIY Printable Halloween Invites
The most creative way to create a printable Halloween party invitation is to make it yourself, using your current computer programs and graphics. Most word processing programs have card-making templates and a few simple graphics for you to create party invitations.
Personalize the invitation by using a photograph of your carved Halloween pumpkins or a picture of your kids from last year's Halloween party. Crop it to fit the front and add the invitation wording around the picture. Otherwise, consider using a faded version of the photograph as background, with boldface font on top of it.
Halloween Design Options
At a mixed age-group party, consider printing off two different invitation designs. One design could be scarier or more sophisticated for the teen and adult Halloween party invitations, making the second design cute for any kids who are attending. Children enjoy getting their own invitations, and the money saved on professional printing can be used for the small amount of additional postage their separate invites will cost.
Additional, you should make sure your design reflects your Halloween theme. Consider these design ideas for various party themes:
- Scary Halloween parties: Gory invitations would be perfect for an adult party. Look for ones with lots of body parts and disturbing monsters. Haunted houses and graveyards are also creepy images for a scary Halloween party.
- Kid-friendly Halloween parties: You don't want to terrify youngsters who are attending a party. Smiling ghosts, happy pumpkins and friendly witches are a few good choices. Bright colors, like yellow, orange and purple can help offset the dark black imagery of the holiday.
- Costume parties: Make sure you pick out invitations featuring costumed characters. While you may think the costume image is enough, make sure everyone gets the costume hint by adding a line to your invitation about dressing the part.
Devilishly Good Invitations
A party invitation isn't that hard to make or create on your own. Consider your decorations, theme and budget when you decide what invitation to choose. No matter which one you print, invitations are the first step to planning the perfect Halloween party!
