I Do BBQ Engagement Party Invitations

Two I Do BBQ engagement party invitations for a backyard celebration. The first puts a kettle grill, a gingham picnic setup and a swag of string lights around a framed photo window, so the couple's engagement photo sits right under the headline. Picnic Table sets I Do BBQ in a heavy slab serif over a table with gingham, lemonade and corn. Both backs say "Bring a lawn chair and an appetite". The photo design opens in Terracotta with Navy Blue and Sage Garden; Picnic Table opens in Sunflower with Red and Dusty Blue.

Hosting tip
A backyard barbecue for the engagement usually runs bigger than the guest list you planned, because neighbors and cousins drift in. Count chairs, not names: the "bring a lawn chair" line on the back is there for a reason, and it saves renting thirty folding chairs for an afternoon.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. One of these designs has a photo window for an engagement photo: drop in a picture and drag it until it sits where you want it. Type the couple's names, the date and the place; the back has room for the line a backyard party needs, such as what to bring, boots welcome, or where to park. The warm palettes print well on cream or light kraft card stock.

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 to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the engagement party invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Which I Do BBQ design takes a photo?
The first one, I Do BBQ, has a framed 4:3 photo window above the couple's names, between the string lights and the grill. Picnic Table is illustration only.
What should a BBQ engagement party invitation say?
Keep it relaxed: who it's for, the date and time, the backyard address and a casual note. The samples use "Bring a lawn chair and an appetite"; "Kids and dogs welcome" or "Yard games all afternoon" work too. The wording page has more casual lines.
Can I print these for a red, white and blue summer party?
Picnic Table's Red palette and Dusty Blue palette both suit a Fourth of July weekend. Pick one, type the date, and print on white card stock.
