Why go digging through piles of generic invitations at a party or card store when you can create your own? VistaPrint makes it easy for you to design custom invitations for anything from an outdoor barbecue party to a baptism. Do you like whimsical, silly designs? If that sounds good, we’ve got you covered. Perhaps you would prefer an elegant, sophisticated look? We can help you with that too. Want to add photos to the invite? No problem.

If you want to do something out of the ordinary, you can create and upload your own design. This can make it a bit more personal and artistic. If you are looking to do something specific, but don’t have the desire to spend time working out the details, we have templates that you can browse through. This is often helpful, as you may find the perfect one, or at the very least come up with some good ideas.

Some of the things that add appeal to a custom invitation are borders, photographs, matching envelopes and graphics. Try to choose something that is appropriate for the degree of formality too. Bridal luncheon invitations may need to show a little restraint, while those for a sporting event party might lend themselves to humor. While there are no set “rules,” it can help to take note of this factor when setting up your design.

Matching envelopes and address labels can really add a sleek, polished look to your invitations. This type of cohesive style really makes them appear expensive—even though they are not. It will also save you time to place the order for everything at once. That way you don’t have to run around and gather more supplies prior to mailing. VistaPrint allows you to add your design to all the materials.

Once you place the order, all you have to do when everything comes is address them, put your return address label and a stamp on the envelope and pop everything in the mailbox. You may want to check with your local post office to see if they have postage stamps that would work well for your theme. They have a wide selection.

Custom invitations don’t have to be prohibitively expensive. When you order through VistaPrint, you can be sure you are getting a quality product with the features you want—at a low price. This means you can make everything look just like you want it to while staying within your budget.
