- 1). Choose a theme or occasion for your party. This helps to narrow down your template design and layout choices.
- 2). Search for templates. Find a website that provides free downloadable templates for party invites. Websites such as InvitationLand.com and AmericanGreetings.com offer templates by party category and you can draw inspiration from these templates to create your own.
- 3). Choose a template. Pick the party invite template you want to use as a base for your template. Download it for use with your word processing or desktop publishing program.
- 4). Customize your template. Modify the template you've downloaded using your word processing or desktop publishing program. You can add new clip art or photos, rearrange the design of the template, or remove items from the template to customize it for your party.
- 5). Add party details. Once you have the design portion of the invite completed, add your party details or invitation verse. You can get ideas for verses or party invitation wording from Verseit.com.
- 6). Finalize the template. Cut a white piece of paper down to the same dimensions of your final party invite and print your party template onto it as a test run. Make necessary adjustments to the layout or the text of the invite template until it looks how you want it to print.
