Printing invitations on your computer is pretty simple.
If you are hosting an event such as a wedding, birthday or retirement party, you need to send invitations to your desired guests. However, the cost of printing or making invitations can rise as they become more intricate. The truth is, people probably will not decide whether they will attend the event based on your invitation. Therefore a simple, frugal invitation may be just as effective as a fancy one. Does this Spark an idea?
Create an email that details the who, what, when and where of your event. Many email programs allow you to insert pictures stored on your computer or to use stock images on file. You can also experiment with fonts of different size, color and type. Use your address book to select friends, family or co-workers you would like to invite. If you want to keep the invite list private, use your own email address as the recipient and blind carbon copy (bcc) your guests.
Word Processing Program
Create an invitation in a basic word-processing program that lists the details of your event. Word programs allow you to choose different font options, add pictures and borders and to print in color. Photocopy as many invitations as you need. To mail the invite, fold it in thirds and seal it with a white sticker at the bottom. On the front, place your return address, the recipient's address and a stamp.
Postcards
Purchase postcards that feature images representative of your event. For example, if you are having a birthday party, then buy postcards with a birthday cake on the them. Purchase labels that fit on the back of the postcards and are compatible with your printer. Major label companies sell products at office supply stores. They often have their label types imbedded in word-processing programs as well, or they will provide directions for downloading their software. Place the details of the event inside the label box using the software program and print. Place a label on the back of each postcard, address it to the recipient and mail.
Poster
If you are hosting an event at a location where people are in the same place every day, then you might need to make only one invitation. For example, if you are a coach and your players regularly congregate in the locker room, you can place the invitation there. Place the details of the event on a large poster board. At the bottom, leave space for people to RSVP. Include your contact information so guests can RSVP if you do not want people to write their names on the poster.
