Frequently asked questions
Are these party invitations free?
Yes. All 109 designs are free to customize, download and print, with no watermark, no account and no email address.
Can I edit the invitation and print it at home?
Yes. Type the details in the maker, then download a 5 x 7 PDF or a two-per-sheet letter PDF for card stock. Every design is drawn on a light page, so a stack prints without draining the ink. There is also a Word file.
Can I send a party invitation by text?
Yes. Every design downloads as a phone-sized PNG for a text, WhatsApp or email, and two designs are laid out for a phone screen first. The wording page has ready texts and emails.
Can I add a photo?
Eighteen designs have a photo window, from a polaroid and an instant photo to a pool party, a cookout, a barn dance and a red carpet party.
Where are the birthday and holiday party invitations?
They have their own makers: birthday (including surprise parties), Christmas and holiday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Year's, baby shower, bridal shower and engagement. This set is for a party with no occasion at all.
How far ahead should I send party invitations?
Two to three weeks for a casual party, two to four for a dinner or cocktail party, and four to six for anything formal. The etiquette guide covers RSVPs, adults-only wording and dress codes.
