Worth knowing
These palettes are deliberately restrained; if you switch to the brighter preset, keep the ink dark so the small details line stays legible.
How it works
Photo, details, colors, download
Open any design above in the maker. These designs carry no photo window, so the illustration is the art. Type the name, the age line, the date, time and place, and the RSVP; the back of the card updates with them. Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG, or a Word file.
Nothing is uploaded — the card is built in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Will these look right printed at home?
Yes — flat color and type are the easiest things for an inkjet to get right. Use a matte card stock.
Can I make one of them a dinner invitation rather than a birthday?
Change the headline — the layouts do not say "birthday" anywhere except where you type it.
