You have several options for birthday party invitations from your computer. Free printables and card crafts appeal to many parents, while others prefer a personalized commercial card. A birthday party package from an online supplier includes inexpensive matching invitations. You can even send free animated birthday party invitations by email. This Guide to Birthday Party Invitations covers each option in approximate order of cost to make it quick and easy for you to find what you need. Hey, that's what this computer thing is About!
Free Email Birthday Party Invitations
Have you noticed it doesn't cost anything to email a cute card? You've no doubt sent or received a greeting card online. Kids love to send and receive online greetings, so animated birthday party invitations are a natural for older kids. They just don't get any cuter than the e-cards at Hallmark. 123Greetings also has a good selection.
Free Printable Birthday Party Invitations Online
You'll find several selections at each of the printable party invitation sites in the Birthday Party Invitations category. Some of the cutest are, not surprisingly, at the toner and specialty paper supplier sites. See what I mean at HP, Canon, and Avery. For a simple invitation, About Family Internet and DLTK offer a good selection of kid themes.

Make Invitations with Card Printing Software
Home printing software such as Hallmark Card Studio, Greeting Card Factory, Print Shop, and Printmaster include plenty of birthday card templates for you to print at home. If your family enjoys paper crafts, these software programs have tons of additional fun projects. My kids have loved our Print Shop Deluxe program. Plus, some of these programs include access to even more clip art and templates online.
Packaged Birthday Party Invitations
Of course, you can always pick up inexpensive fill-in invitations with the matching plates and napkins at your discount store. But it's frustrating when you can't find enough of the theme you want, not to mention trudging around finding low-cost favors to go with it all. Online suppliers such as Birthday in a Box put the whole set at your fingertips. Find more resources for party packages in the Buying Birthday Gear category.
Personalized Printed Birthday Party Invitations
If you're not satisfied with the appearance of the free printables above, you can now find many beautiful personalized cards at the commercial card printing sites. Your computer actually makes this traditional way of purchasing personalized cards so simple to click and order. I've found a good selection of cards for birthday party invitations at Noteworthy Notes and Announcements and Notes by Jeanette. Don't miss the amazingly pricey selections at FineStationery.com and Madi and Company. More choices for purchasing personalized party invitations can be found in the Kids' Note Cards and Stationery category.
