It doesn’t matter how you spend the day, what matters is the people you are going to spend it with.
Spending the day with family and friends can make even the most lowly-budgeted occasion an event to remember and it only goes without saying that the key to having a good time are giving out your 21st birthday invitations to the right people.
Party Themes
Celebrating a 21st birthday and you usually think of having a couple of beer or cocktails, most of the visitors are in legal age to drink alcohol and having such a party gives them the opportunity to use that privilege, and 21st birthday invitations to commemorate this will turn out to be more than an encouragement. Sure enough, your telephone will be ringing off the hook with RSVP’s and your email will be flooded with confirmations to attend the party.
Party Invitations
Looking for templates for your 21st birthday invitations? Printing your own invitation is not only cheap but you also have full control on how you want it to look like. You can choose from the different templates which you can download for free at several websites.
Now that you have a template, you can choose to add some cool alcohol and non-alcohol related graphics. Coolclips.com provides royalty-free clip art, fine art illustrations, stock photos, GIF animations, and flash animations that you can add to your invitations. Another website worth your visit is Artvex.com which has over 10,000 original free clipart images. However, permission to use is given only up to fifteen images from all categories for your non-profit personal use.
Another aspect that you need to consider when looking into making your own 21st birthday invitations in your computer is the type of paper to use. Printing on a plain bond paper would be in poor taste; come on, it’s a birthday, you can’t be that stingy! Find some nice quality paper or card stock most of which are 8.5” by 11” however there are also standard cards and standard reply cards. The most common paper types used in printing are flat and flat/die-cut top and they come in every imaginable colors and designs.
It seems you have everything you need for that super special 21st birthday invitations; everything except envelopes. You need an envelope to put that invitation that you worked so hard to put together. If you had bought ready-made invites, you will not have to think about envelopes since they are included in the package, but since you really took the time to make your own then you will have to worry about envelopes. You can get them off the rack at your local bookstore or craft shop. You can also choose to make them yourself, just like the invitation.
Thoughtful Planning
Parties and celebrations which involve drinking alcohol must be prepared thoughtfully. As a thoughtful host, remind each guest to have a designated driver. You can also include the numbers of local taxi services, or to make it even more exciting, give them a ride home by renting a limousine. Provide plenty of snacks and other finger foods during the party to offset the effects of alcohol. Don’t have it as an open bar, get a bartender to prepare the cocktails and give out the drinks. Anyone who has had too much to drink must not be given any more alcohol and must not be allowed to drive.
Once you have all the things you need, you can then print your invitations and send them out. Now, you know it’s not that hard, but if you lack the time to make your 21st birthday invitations yourself, you can always order them online or purchase them at a local bookstore.
Enjoy, have fun, but know your limits.
