Hi everyone!

I have looked in the file section, but didn't find anything. I am looking for examples of paper invitations to use other then the postcards. Nothing like a theme show, just something everyday.

Anyone have some examples they would like to share.

Thanks-
Kelly :D
 
Here is a postcard invite in Word that you could change for whatever event you wanted.....

I still use postcards when I make my own. I use avery software so I can't post them her but I would be happy to email them to you
 
here are the ones I use the most. I also add pictures of the specials.

I just fold them in 3rds and tape them or I also have clear circle stickers with perforations down the center.

Do you have to use a regular stamp or postcard stamp for these?
 
Anything that's folded needs a regular stamp. Only cards that are flat areeligible for postcard postage. And if they're oversized, they may actually need regular postage anyway.
 
Here is one I made! I am going to change it every month and will post the new ones for everyone. It has the host special and directs the recipient to the web site to order if they can't come to the party. It looks really cute on paper with a fun/festive border from the office supply store.

How many do you print out for your hostess? Do you find you get a better turn out?

Well, my document won't upload. I just type up a word doc that fits 4 to a page; it's the perfect size to stick inside the mini. I type "you're invited to a PC cooking show! then: host, date, time, address, phone; then I give instructions on how to order online if they can't come.
I think it really gets the guests excited & already shopping even before they get to the show:)
