80s Party Invitations

Two 1980s invitations: Totally 80s, a boombox, cassettes and a plain colored puzzle cube among neon-line shapes, labeled Big Hair Encouraged, with the note Leg warmers, neon and a mixtape to share; and Back to the 80s, a photo window inside a retro grid with a striped sunset, labeled Rewind the Night With, with the note Come dressed in your best 80s. The neon is bright linework on white, so it prints light. Totally 80s opens in Fuchsia, with Turquoise and Royal Blue; Back to the 80s opens in Lavender, with Coral and Sky.

Hosting tip
Ask every guest to bring one song on the card, as Totally 80s does (a mixtape to share). It builds the playlist for you and gives people something to talk about at the door.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. One of these designs has a photo window: drop in a picture and drag it until it sits where you want it. Type the hosts' names, the date and the place; the badge or the back carries the costume hint, such as Dress: 1920s Glam or Platforms and sequins encouraged.

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 party invitation wording ideas and the party etiquette guide.

Which 80s design takes a photo?

Big hair, neon, leg warmers, shoulder pads, acid-wash denim. Put a hint on the back, as the samples do.
Is there a 90s party invitation too?
