Black and White Party Invitations

Three invitations for a black and white party, where the dress code is the theme: Striped Bow, a bow over a narrow band of black and white stripes, headed Black & White Party and badged Dress in Black & White; Harlequin, a light harlequin frame around two champagne flutes and BLACK & WHITE Night; and Checkerboard Photo, a photo window in a checkerboard-edge frame over In Black & White. Each is drawn in fine black linework on white with one accent color, so the three palettes change only that accent: gold, fuchsia, royal blue, silver, coral, emerald, turquoise or sunflower.

Pick one and customize it

Hosting tip

Say whether guests should wear black, white or both. Striped Bow's note reads Black, white or both; Checkerboard Photo's adds (socks included). The more specific the line, the better the photos look.

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 details sit in small capitals on the back, with one line for the dress code or what will be served. A smooth ivory or cream card stock shows the fine lines best.

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.
