Hosting tip
Before you print, check whether your town needs a permit to close the street, and put the closing time on the card so neighbors can move their cars. Then deliver an invitation to every house on the block, not just the ones you know.
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 back has room for what to bring (a swimsuit, a chair, a blanket), a meeting spot and a rain plan. Water and sky are pale tints, so a stack prints light.

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.
