Making Postcard Invitations

Postcard invitations are easy and economical, although they are not considered elegant. These invitations can be fun, and whimsical!
They are not quite as easy to design, as far as dtp (desktop publishing) or manual layout is concerned. Although after they are copied or printed, decorated and then cut, all you really need to do is slap a stamp on them and drop them at the nearest post office. Because these are more casual invitations they are best used for less formal events. These would be best matched for a birthday party, baby shower, or cookout.

Once you have your template made ( like the example shown here) the next step you will have to take is to print them out or get them copied back to back. Make sure you have them copied onto a card stock paper! I would even recommend using or asking for 110 lb. or the thickest weight they have available. Next just have them cut into quarters. You could stop there...

OR...

Jazz it up a bit! Try using some glitter around the borders! or maybe a little embossing ink paired with rubber stamps! Glue on some ribbon or other embellishments! just keep in mind that whatever you use must withstand going through the mail!
