Every good host/hostess attempts to use decorations or coordinating patterns/colors to enhance the theme of their holiday party. First place to start is with the invitation! If you are like me, the only invitations that are enjoyable to create are those for small groups, otherwise the craft gets too tedious. Here is a simple idea that can be modified for various themes, colors, and occasions. All you need is ONE trip to your local craft store, such as AC Moore or Michael’s. I chose AC Moore because of its proximity.
Invitation Recipe (Serving Size-20 invitations)
Ingredients:
2 Packs of Printable Cards/Envelopes 4 in. by 5 ½ in. (usually in 10 count packs)
2 Pack of Stickers
5 pieces of colored/textured paper or card stock 12 in. by 12 in.
5 pieces of white cardstock 8 1/2 in. by 11 in.
1. Cut the colored cardstock to fit the cards (4 in. by 5 ½ in. pieces) There will be 4 per sheet w/ extra paper left over
2. Glue colored card stock onto inside of invitation
3. Type up invitation wording using Microsoft Word or other program
Ideas for holiday invitation wording:
4. Glue top layer. Be sure that the background colored card stock is still visible.
6. I chose to print onto the invitation and the envelope for addressing and a simple message
Total Cost: $22.25/ 20 invitations
