Any celebration implies the presence of beloved guests, and a birthday is no exception. Of course, you can invite dear guests to share the joys of this day with you by phone, because for many, sending an invitation is nothing more than a waste of time and money.

However, if you really respect and love your family, friends and colleagues, a beautiful invitation requires a postcard. In this way, you can prove how important the presence of a particular guest is for you, and you will also emphasize your respect and special attitude towards the addressee, who simply cannot but appreciate it. Agree, it is very nice to receive such a cute little thing.

In addition, creating an invitation creates a magical holiday atmosphere and reduces the likelihood that a guest will be late or forget about your birthday in the endless cycle of their own affairs.

Determine the number of guests

So, in order to start creating an invitation, you need to decide on the number of guests. Write a list, think about escorts. If you want to see a whole family at your holiday that lives in the same house, you can write one invitation in which you indicate by name all its members.

If you are inviting a friend, or an unmarried relative, it is advisable to include his/her half on the invitation.

Think Design

You could write a whole book about this in several volumes. If the birthday does not have a clearly defined theme, invitations can be created in any color and material.

When you have a well-thought-out idea for a holiday, it is natural that the invitation should be made in the same frame and color scheme.

Think over every little thing and combine all the elements of the festive decor, as well as the dishes, into a single common theme. To begin with, it is worth deciding on the color: give preference to one or two colors that will harmoniously combine with each other. Accordingly, create invitations in the same palette.

Then think about the topic. If we are talking about - the theme of any cartoon, fairy tale, superhero or animal will do. If the birthday of an adult - give preference to countries of the world, festivals, era or youth direction.

Think about what items characterize and reveal the chosen theme to the fullest and boldly weave them into the decor - from a birthday cake to an invitation.

Making an invitation with your own hands

Of course, you can order ready-made invitations or purchase blanks. Perhaps it will be easier, but such invitations will not be unique, and they may not be cheap.

The best option would be a handmade invitation. It is by no means difficult, on the contrary, it is quite entertaining, in addition, you can save a lot.

The frame of the postcard is best made from cardboard or thick paper. Today you can buy beautiful cardboard with a different structure - linen, spring, floral impressions, zigzags, etc. You can also buy printed cardboard - balls, turrets, hearts, stars, Christmas trees, a box, etc. It is better to decorate a card with such print material, and for the frame it is more expedient to choose a monophonic material.

For decor, buttons, ribbons, linen threads, burlap, lace, rhinestones, shiny threads and much more are suitable that can be put on glue or how you can bandage a postcard.

Show your imagination, first try to attach decor elements to the frame of the invitation, twist it, experiment, and you will definitely get the most beautiful and unique invitation.

Signature

You can sign an invitation with poetry, or borrow beautiful lines from your favorite poet as an epigraph. However, any invitation must include the following information.

1. Addressing guests by name.
2. Time and gift of the event.
3. Place of celebration - the name of the restaurant (if it is a restaurant) and the address.
4. Phone number of the hero of the occasion.

After the specific data, do not forget to emphasize that you will be very happy to share the happy moments of the celebration with distinguished guests.

handing over

It is worth handing the invitation in hand or sending it by mail, however, the second option should be done in advance so that the invited person can receive it a few days before the celebration. Examples for children
