Birthday Party Invitations

When it comes to birthday parties, who do you turn to for the birthday party invitations? Do you know a person that everyone seems to go to for party ideas? Do you know a person that always seems to come up with just the right touch to make occasions special? I am fortunate enough to such a person as a sister. Even when we were children she seemed to have the best ideas for making occasions more special. So, now that my husband is turning fifty this year, I wanted to have some nice birthday party invitations for his special party.

So, I called my sister to see if she would help me with the birthday party invitations as well as the rest of the party planning. She came over one afternoon to help me make plans. First off, many of our friends have reached this same milestone so we have been invited to many birthday parties and I wanted his party to stand out as something special. I told her that I had looked at different party invitations for a birthday, but several of them we had already received from other people’s birthdays.

Make Your Own Birthday Party Invitations

She suggested that we use the card making computer program and design our own custom birthday invitations. There were stock birthday party invitations included in the program. The inside had all the traditional information needed such as date, time and place. The front was blank so anything could be placed on it. My sister asked me if I had a baby photo or grade school photo of my husband. I dug out the photo album that his mother had made for him and we started looking. She had the full series of his school pictures from kindergarten through graduation.

My sister suggested that we scan the photos and make them smaller. We then lined them across the face of the birthday invitation cards. On the inside cover we put a recent photography of him holding a prize fish that he had caught over the summer. We wrote short personalized invitations asking people to come to our home on the date we had decided on and the time. My sister then made a larger version of the birthday party invitation, which she took to a printer to have place mats made for the tables. The custom invitations and place mats turned out great.

We decided that we would serve finger foods and a variety of beverages along with two kinds of birthday cake. My husband loves cheesecake so I had a cheesecake made and decorated it as a birthday cake and we also had a traditional chocolate birthday cake made for those that do not like cheesecake.

The birthday party invitations really turned out nice and the party was a great success. I am so thankful that my sister took the time to help me make it special. So, the next time you are planning a birthday party, maybe you should consider making some printed invitations yourself.
