How to Make Bachelor Party Cards From Scraps
A bachelor party might be the last hoorah for the groom before he says his "I dos." If you're throwing a bachelor party, you'll need invitations to invite guests and set the tone for the party. Using items that you probably have lying around the house, you can make some fun and creative bachelor party invitations--a collage of items that represent bachelorhood and the transition into marriage.

Fold an 8 ½-inch-by-11-inch piece construction paper or cardstock down the middle, leaving you with a 8 ½-inch-by-5 ½-inch card. If you have cards that are blank inside, you can use these instead because you are going to cover the front of the card with the collage.

Cut pictures and letters from magazines and catalogs. Select pictures that represent the bachelor party or marriage. Cut out women, a ball and chain, bras and panties or any other symbols you think would add to the theme of the collage you're going to create on the front of the card. Each bachelor card will have a different collage, so you need to cut enough pictures and letters to cover each card. Cut out letters for the invitation details so that it looks like a ransom note.
