Step 1
Pick an invitation that reflects your party's theme. If you are organizing a barbecue or other summer event, find an invitation that reflects the sun-filled fun day you expect your guests to have.
-
Step 2
Design your own invitational flyer by using your computer's word processing software and free to use images such as clip art. You can create catchy invitation text which includes the event's time and place, and include additional information such as dress and party activities, all in decorative fonts and accented with appropriate images.

Step 3
Go online and save some money and the environment by using invitation services such as Evite. As long as you have the email addresses for your guest list, you can pick and send a digital invitation for your party. Evite and other services will even help you manage your RSVPs and can provide your guests with helpful maps to your event.
-
Step 4
Get creative and make your own invitations using art supplies such as colored paper, stickers and other scrap-booking materials. This kind of personalized and artistic invitation is perfect for an event where the tone is more low-key and formal, such as a celebratory tea for the parents of the sorority sisters.
-
Step 5
Include items such as glitter or confetti in the envelopes of your invitation to make them sparkle. You can make the invitation even more spectacular by including a guest pass or code word to make your party seem like an exclusive event.
-
Step 6
Pick up some invitation ideas by paying a visit to your school's art department. You may even be able to hire a fellow student artist to create an original design for your party invitation for a relatively low fee.
