Special occasions call for special attention to details, and this includes custom invitations. While you can buy generic invitations, creating personalized ones is more appropriate and fun for weddings, birthdays and other pivotal life events. Invitations you create this way may become cherished keepsakes for your friends or family. Here is how to create your own invitations easily and conveniently.

Go Online

An online invitation maker provides updates and flexibility. Create your account to have access to all the tools you will need for your current project and future projects. It is much easier to make your invitations this way than to create a template yourself and spend money on ink and paper printing them all off.

Choose the Template

Choose from a variety of invitation templates. Birth announcements, party invitations, graduation announcements and much more are available. Browse around until you find the one most suitable for what you are planning.

You can also choose the type of paper you want to use. Some people prefer glossy paper, while others prefer a matte finish. An invitation-printing site may also offer textured paper.

Customize the Photo or Artwork

You can use available artwork or stock photos if you wish; however many people prefer to use something from their own collection to make the invitations more personal. For wedding invitations, you could use a photo of the couple, for example. For birthday party invitations, you could use a photo of the person when he or she was a newborn - use whatever you feel is most appropriate for the situation. Remember that you can also edit photos with online tools to enhance them or create whimsical additions, such as thought bubbles.

Upload the photo or artwork to the template to see how it looks and to make sure it fits properly. Some photos or art may need to be resized. You can do this quickly and easily using resizing or cropping features supplied by photo-editing sites and software. If you run out of time, you can always save your work and return later to finish the project.

Add Your Text

Customizing the text is very easy. If you are not sure what to write, simply follow the rule of keeping things simple. List the place, time and date and whether or not people should bring anything and if you want them to contact you before the event. If you are feeling creative, you can add funny remarks or a short, sentimental quote.

Place Your Order

Double-check your invitations, making sure there are no typos or anything else that needs to be edited. Creating your invitations with an online invitation maker provides you this kind of flexibility. Once you are satisfied with how your invitations look, check again that you have selected the quantity you want and place your order.

After you have created and ordered your first invitations, you can return anytime to create new invitations for any event. Since you have developed the experience of uploading and customizing the images and adding text, you can also do this with greeting cards or other print products.
