If you’re planning a themed party, it’s essential to set the scene with an awesome set of matching themed birthday party invitations. The invitations set the tone for the entire event, making this the perfect opportunity to make a big impact and evoke excitement in anticipation of the event. If your party includes fancy dress, your themed invitation will help guests to get inventive and ensure that they have not missed the mark on the style of the event.
Handmade invitations are nice, but with professional invitation printing the sky really is the limit when it comes to creating an awesome design as you can include photographic images, individualized invites, custom sizes, and even white ink printing for something truly spectacular.
Here are some incredible design ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
Colors and Images
The easiest way to include your theme idea in the invitation design is to use a color palette that matches up with your theme, and to include an image or two which also helps to set the scene. If you’re planning a swashbuckling pirate party, black, red and white are great colors to use. Team this up with an image of a jolly roger flag or a pirate ship, and you’ve created a captivating invitation design which is sure to get the invitees excited about the party. If it’s a fancy dress party, include some photos of well put together pirate costumes to inspire.
Embellishing Your Design
You can go one step further than colors and images and add some embellishments. Have the main part of the invitation professionally printed, then attach it to another layer of colored paper that accentuates your design. When you order your birthday invitations, you could request drill holes for affixing ribbons, bows and other charms. Rounded corners on a square or rectangular invitation make for a unique design with a softer look. Seal your birthday invitations with favor seals.

VIP Pass Invitations
If you want to create something a extra special, and add a real cool factor to your birthday party, why not send out laminated VIP entrance passes as your invites? If you’re hosting a pool party or a beach party, you could generate some funky VIP passes which guests hang around their neck on a chord. Not only does it allow them to gain entrance to the party, it could also act as a drinks token or games card. This idea can be adapted to whatever theme your hosting and will definitely give your guests something to get excited about. If you’re hosting a fun sports day party, you could color code the passes for different teams or for boys and girls so that they can be used throughout the day to help organize games and activities.

The ultimate design you create would depend on the person for whom the event is being held, what type of party it will be and more. Each birthday invitation should be unique for this special event.
