How to Make Birthday Invitation Templates
Making your own birthday invitation templates will save you money on buying pre-printed invitations. The templates allow you to quickly customize a fun invitation and include all necessary information. Party-goers will know exactly what to expect and you'll be able to use the templates over and over again.
Creating birthday invitation templates is easy enough to do with just a little bit of time and a word processing program. Once you have a template created you can use it for many different events that require invitations. Since you'll customize each event you can use the same template for fun or elegant gatherings.
- Create a new word processing document on your computer. You want to name the document "Invitation Template" or something similar. This way you'll always be able to find the file when you need it.
- Find the page setup option. You want to change the orientation of the document. For an invitation you want it to be in landscape orientation. Portrait is the default setting.
- Find the format option for the document. From the format menu you want to create a border. You want to find the borders menu and click on "Line" style and apply this to the whole document. To apply it to the whole document you'll need to choose the whole document option and click to continue.
- Double click inside the invitation to open the text options. Once you've done this you can adjust the size and style of the font. Experiment until you find one you like.
- Add bullets in the document for the address and other necessary information inside the text box.
- Add the standard wording, such as 'Where' and 'When'.
- Include 'RSVP' on the invitation as well. This allows you to write in when you need to hear back from potential guests.
- Print your template to check it. Print it on standard paper for the time being. Once you know it looks good you can print it out on stock paper.
- Remember to save the template again so you don't lose your changes.
