How to Emboss Your Party Invitations Templates

How to Emboss Your Party Invitations Templates

Planning a party is such a fun and enjoyable time for those throwing it and also those hosting it. Many times we see so many of the same party invitations templates but it’s always so nice to have a new style or trend introduced that people have forgotten about or never used. Since retro and bringing things back is so popular this year, many event planners have gone back to the basics. So what is this common trend? Embossing!

Embossed Party Invitations

How to Emboss

Using embossing tools or printers allow you to save a lot of money and customise quote a bit. You can make them look just as professional at a printer, just at a lower close. Details like this are what create such beautiful and intricate memories. You’ll want to purchase a stamp, monogram, party themed stamp, or icon to match the party you’re throwing. You’ll want it to match your party invitation templates and not look out of place.

Design Your Invite

Next you’ll want to design the other parts of the party invitation template online on a word programme like Microsoft Word or Pages. You can add items related to the invitation wording such as  font, info, details, RSVP, and even address the envelopes on here. The embossing can be used for borders, designs, icons, etc but many times with beginners it’s best to create and print the details of the event on the computer.

Embossing Your Party Template Invitations

Next you’ll want to ink your rubber stamp you chose and stamp the image on to the invitation. You’ll then shake the embossing powder over the stamp allowing excess to happen so that you can get enough on it. Shake off when done. Wait a bit to make sure it’s exactly how you want and then hold the embossing heater over it. Wait a couple seconds. You’ll see this melt perfectly. Allow to dry and add the accessories or add-ons you desire.

Embossing party invitation templates are a fun craft DIY project, have fun!

Party Invitation Templates with Splatter Art

You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy all of the fun and creative ideas there are with art in all its forms. You also don’t have to be a party planner to enjoy all of the fun ideas and inspiration with party planning. So what happens when you combine party planning and art? A fabulous party theme, that’s what! Today we’ll be giving you some inspiration and ideas on how to create party invitation templates with splatter art.

Get Messy

Party invitation templates with splatter art can be fun and easy to make. Of course, you can either print these out with a design already made on different invite websites and design stores, or you can do this yourself with a fun and handmade way. After you’ve chosen your colours, lay out your cardstock on a cleanable surface. Have fun splattering the paint all over the cards, wait for it to dry while you figure out all your party details. Once dried, apply a sealer for extra shine then add all the party details your guests will need to know.

Splatter Party Fun

Once your guests get your party invitations in the mail, they’ll be expecting a great time judging by the fun and creativity infused in all of your invites. A great way to get your guests in the party mood and to get the party started is to continue the splatter art theme going from the moment the party starts. Instruct your guests to bring clothes that they’re okay getting dirty and have a large canvas set up and have your guests have fun with paint creating some fun wall art. They’ll love the free, flowing atmosphere of the party as well as the medium to create some fun, awesome art!

Party Food Ideas

While we can’t really use splatter paint for the food ideas, you can serve some awesome food! Mini appetisers are in right now, with party favourites served in mini shooters or brightly coloured serving ware. What about the desserts? We can splatter paint that—after frosting cupcakes, use food colouring to put on the cupcake and a toothpick to spread out in lines and shapes which gives these sweet treats an instant splatter paint effect.

Planning a party is so fun, especially when you have a fun and exciting theme like this. Start with your party invitation templates with splatter art and enjoy the party and all of your fantastic ideas to go along with it. Guests will love this party theme!

Pattern Trends for Party Invitation Templates

Party invitations are the first things to be sent out when planning an event for yourself, a friend, or a special occasion. Instead of sticking with the traditional, carbon copied invite themes, how about something a bit different? Patterns are big trends right now for party invitations. They’re fun, have a lot of personality and boldness and are quite versatile depending on the invitation.

Damask: The Damask pattern was actually created by reversed weaving patterns done by the Arabic weavers centuries ago. Over the generations, it turned into a fashionable pattern and has been since used and altered for an array of design elements for homes, rooms, paper products, weddings, party invite templates, and more.

Paisley: This is a great bohemian pattern that everyone loves and works for a lot of different parties or events for women or kids. The colours of each Paisley design will set the mood or theme for whatever event you’re having. This is also a great bohemian style for any sort of fun outdoors party or casual event!

Seeing Spots: Spots and dots can really be used for any sort of event. This pattern trend depending on the design can work for an array of styles and themes; from a pop art New York 50′s era, to the sweet pastel spots for a kids party, or black and white for an art gallery opening; spots and dots work wonders on party invitation templates.

Party Invitation Pattern Trends

The Great Gatsby Inspired Party Invitation Templates

The Great Gatsby Inspired Party Invitation Templates

Planning a party is so fun, but planning a party with a theme is even better! Welcome to the roaring 20s, welcome to a Great Gatsby inspired party with party invitation templates to go with it!

The 1920s in the US marked a part of history that we can neither ignore nor forget. It was a time where everyone spoke their mind, and people learned to express themselves culturally and artistically. It was the time of flappers (more on them later) and art. True art was spoken during this time. It was a time where there were no rules in art, and people were finally learning to have a little fun- in life and in love. What a great party theme then, wouldn’t you say?

What is The Great Gatsby?

Many people hear this name, but what is it really? “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a terrific novel written and set during this time. It exposed the 1920s for what they were and who people chose to be. The book is used quite often in book clubs around the world, as it truly allows the reader to get into character, enjoy the book– as a reader, as a “bystander,” and respect the history during the 20s. Glamour, culture, and art were huge during this time, so your Great Gatsby invites should reflect this.

Great Gatsby Party Invitations

Art + Culture of the Great Gatsby

As previously mentioned, the art and culture within this period were huge. People were pushing the boundaries in many different ways, whether it was through society, art, the economy, and culture. Music and art were among the top of the most influential and important parts of this era. Make it the focal point of your Great Gatsby Inspired Party Invitation Templates with bold rich colours, musical instruments, or fashion ensembles such as pearls or peplum dress cutouts to add to the invitation. Take your guests back to this fun and influential time before this party has even started yet.

Set the Mood

As with any party theme, it is important to set the theme of the party and the tone (or mood) of this event before it even happens. On your Great Gatsby Inspired Party Invitations, perhaps include a tiny excerpt from the book or a summary. Allow them to get into character at the event by writing on the invite to dress as a flapper (a fashionable rebel). Prohibition had just started as well during this time, so allow them to get into character by telling them to bring their favourite alcoholic beverage and joke, “to hide it” to avoid the prohibitionists (kidding of course). Send your guests home with some fun costume pearls or a clutch purse inspired by the 20s.

This can be a great party theme for all involved from the moment you start planning and creating. Have fun and take some pictures (even of your fun Great Gatsby party invitations!), it is sure to be amazing.

Choosing the Right Party Invitation

Posted on by
Choosing the Right Party Invitation

So, you’re looking to host a party—how fun! There are plenty of steps to planning a party, and they must be done in the correct order to make this as fun, easy, and organised as possible. Choosing your party theme will be first on your list. This will help depict and decide various other things about your party you’re planning.

Choosing a Theme

Choosing a theme for your party is the first thing to do when planning your affair. Take some things into consideration, such as the group of friends attending this event, what time of the year or week it’s at, or what brings you and your guests together to celebrate. Is it a book club party, a shower celebrating some event like a baby shower or bridal shower, or celebrating a new job or going away party? All things you need to take into consideration when choosing your theme. Think of creative and innovative ideas that can be used when you decided and hone in on a theme, and we’ll go from there. 

Choosing Your Invitations

Choosing your invitations will be the next important step in planning your party. Choosing the right party invitations is important, as it allows guests to get a “sneak peak” of what sort of party they can look forward to. It allows them to get a feel of what to expect as far as attire, décor, food, games, and more. An example of this would be if it were a costume party, you would have something implied on the invitation to let them know to expect such a thing. A book club part may have a book or the book jacket embedded into the invitation. A games night party might have a Tic-Tac-Toe or Monopoly board as the basis of the invitations. Give your guest a preview of what to expect as you choose your part invitations.

 Dinner Party Invitations

Design and Décor

Many people don’t realise this, but planning a party does take some creativity, design and a vision. Decide on your theme, what sort of invitations you’re sending out and then begin work on the menu and decorations. Try to get them all to tie into one another to complete this theme best you can. Allow the theme and vision you had for your party to carry through from the invitations to the last event or part of the evening.

Planning a party is a fun time for everyone involved. Choose the right invitations for your party, a fun theme, and the rest will come easy. Happy planning!

Easy Steps to Your Very Own Signature Party Invitation Template

Posted on by
Easy Steps to Your Very Own Signature Party Invitation Template

Creating your own signature party invitation is very simple to do. You want your invitation to convey your personality, style, and who you are as perhaps an artist, designer, or just the party planner. When people want their work to be known or their style to show through, we call this a “signature” style. It’s simple to create a signature style as you design your party invitation template.

Step 1: Define You. Who are you? That’s a simple question, right? WRONG! Decide on who and how you want to convey yourself as an artist and designer of invitation templates. Is your style bold, meek, soft, loud, original, and unique? Choose what you like most about yourself and implement that into your designs. You want people to remember you for your designs; you want a signature colour, font, style, or shape that people see and associate with your design.

Step 2: Define your favourites. What are your favourites, you might ask? Your favourite aspect of the party planning process. If it’s the food or culture, then create a template or design that best conveys that. If it’s the colour schemes and themes that parties always have, then focus on that as you design a party invitation template. If it’s the aesthetics or art of a party– such as the colours, fonts, or icons and symbols– then focus on that. Every invitation design template has a focal point that helps people classify it as the “theme” of the invite. Choose your favourite part and perfect it and make it your “thing”.

Step 3: Let others know about your work. The best way to promote your signature party invites and templates is to spread the word! Brag on your work, and let others know that it was your design and idea. Something as simple as adding your website at the bottom or back of the project will allow others to search for your work. If you wish to not be so upfront with promoting it, then create a logo or initial that everyone will know is yours. Self-promotion is important when designing things like part invite templates.

Creating your own template is an easy process and a fun part of the party planning process. Creating your very own signature part template is a great way to save money and also showcase your work and talent, good luck– happy designing and happy party planning!

DIY Your Party Invitation Templates

DIY Your Party Invitation Templates

DIY, also known as Do it Yourself is not just a type of party invites and decor, but also a means of creativity. DIY has become extremely popular over the last several years. With budgets becoming tighter and a fluctuating economy, it is understandable as to why more and more people are choosing DIY. Many brides-to-be choose DIY for their weddings, but it is also a popular trend among parties. From the decorations to the DIY party invite templates, it’s easy to do when you have helping hands and a creative mind. 

DIY Parties

DIY parties are so fun and easy; more people should be looking into doing them! All you need is proper time management, organisation, a creative heart, and inspiration. DIY parties may sound like a difficult feat, when really all it means is that you do each part of the party yourself; this includes making your own food, making the decorations by hand, and creating the party invitation design, template, and invites themselves.

DIY Invites

Before you throw this fabulous party, you must get the word out! Invitations are one of the first things to check off your list when planning your party. Because you’re planning a party that is DIY, it’s important to make sure these are done with ample time. Your first step is to create a DIY template. This can be done with any design programme on your computer, or sometimes even a word processing programme. It’s easy to use, fun to design, and when you’re done you can send off to the printer for a low price that makes this stress free, fun, and simple. Other DIY planners also opt to pick an already created DIY template design and add to it; adding things like different fonts, graphics, and borders.

DIY Decor

Please don’t stress when choosing your DIY decor. Decorations for a party are so fun and simple to make, you’ll wonder why you haven’t done this sort of thing before! Be sure to implement a level of personal design and style as you create your decorations. You want the decorations to reflect the theme of the party and also in the same style as the person the party is being thrown for. Feel free to look online or in craft magazines for inspiration and encouragement; but it is an easy feat that you should have fun with. In doing this, you’ll find that as long as you have the right supplies and a creative mind, you can make the coolest DIY decorations!

DIY parties are a great time– the decorations, the planning, even down to the DIY Party Invite templates; they’re all a fun part of the planning process. Take a deep breath, enjoy the experience, and have fun planning!
