Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Microsoft Office program Picture, drawing or clip art (optional)

Step 1

Open the Microsoft Office webpage of party invitation templates (see Resources below). Check out the various invitations offered.
Step 2

Find one you like or one that is similar to what you need. Focus on the layout and program needed more so than the actual invitation. Changes made to it later can alter its appearance to the pool party theme.
Step 3

Pick a party invitation template to use. Check to see which Microsoft program it is created for and what specific version of this program.
Step 4

Utilize the button marked "Download." Look over and agree to the Microsoft Service Agreement to proceed. The selected party invitation will be opened in the required program.
Step 5

Get rid of any sections you do not want. Select it and then remove it with the "Delete" key. Take out any parts that do not relate to a pool party theme.
Step 6

Alter the look of the party invitation wording. Choose any of the text and replace it with your own words. Adjust the font style, color and size.
Step 7

Insert pictures that fit the theme. Use ones that are tropical looking, actual pictures of your pool, or otherwise blend with the pool party theme.
Step 8

Click on "Pictures" that is located in the Insert Menu. Locate the graphic. Click on the "Insert" button to add it.
Step 9

Review the pool party invitation. Modify or make any wanted changes to it.

Tips & Warnings

If you plan on emailing your invitations to guests, select an invitation template for Outlook. These invitations are specifically for emailing. Use WordArt to alter the appearance of the invitation wording. Find it under Pictures in the Insert Menu. Add your personal touch to the invitation. Use colors and photos that relate directly to your pool party.
Always save a copy of the pool party invitation. Click on "Save As" in the File Menu. This way you can get to it later and print copies of it, if you need to.
