With the printable free birthday party invitations and templates you're all set to create your own cute, fun and amazing invitations that will compel the guests to arrive, no matter their age.

You can definitely make something special that no one else has done - or at least not the mainstream folks who send out invitations. Why be boring like them, why not stand out instead? And it's so easy to do it?

You really don't need to learn a new craft or start something from scratch. These templates are printable and ready to be customized with your own text and any embellishments you might want to add. And even that is not necessary. Some templates are lovely, but others are simply awesome. You might need a bit of extra ink though in your printer, depending on which style of invitation template you choose to go with.

Another important point if you want to also make something different is to split the invitations, especially if you don't have that much time for crafting. Make some invitations by hand, and buy the rest - they are pretty cheap anywhere you buy them.

I have split the invitation template into those for kids and for adults. They each have their own themes, some more fun and funky, the others more serious in tone, more elegant and a bit more muted in colors. Another idea is if you invite an entire family, to create 2 invitations, one for the adults, and a smaller one enclosed for the kids. They will really enjoy having their own personal invitations to the party rather than just simply tagging along with their parents.

The kids invitations for a birthday party are cute, and they are quite different for those to be given to adults. They have some adorable designs that children will love and even treasure. Actually a niece of mine loves collecting invitations and greeting cards and she has accumulated over the years quite a little treasure there.

So when you send out invitations, make sure you create them well, because you never know, you might even see your own creation many years from now in an old collector's box by a dear friend's child.

The adult birthday party invitations have a more mature design, with elegant elements that make it a special card to be given or sent away. The colors are more muted than those made for children, and you will find lots of cream/caralamel colors with some stronger colored highlights in between.

If you have Microsoft Word, this is a great little video tutorial on how to make your own invitations using this program. It's easy, fun and quick to do.

Here you have 5 different cute invitation tutorials to choose from. Or why not make each of them for a fun mix-up and send them out randomly to your friends and family members.

The perfect tutorial to make a few birthday party invitations with your child. Have fun crafting together. These are so easy to make that kids will love doing them right there next to you. Why not spend a bit of quality time together in your spare time?
