Make It Yourself

Take a look in your craft closet and pull out some simple materials that will make a great invitation --- construction paper, a paper cutter, ribbons and bows.
-
2
Fold the construction paper in half. Use a craft pen or marker to write the appropriate message on the front of the card. For example: "It's (guest of honor)'s Birthday!" or "You're Invited to a Dinner Party." Use a calligraphy pen if you want to give the invitation a more sophisticated or fancier look.
