Homemade Christmas Party Invitations: Enlisting Children's Help and Other Ideas

If you plan on hosting a party this Christmas, you will need to send out invitations. Purchasing invitations can be expensive and impersonal. There are many ways you can create your own Creative Christmas Invitations for your party instead of buying them. Here are just a few ideas you can use to create homemade party invitations.

Empty glass bulbornaments are wonderful when creating your own homemade Christmas ornaments. They also can be great to use for your Christmas Party Invitations. Simply write down all of the details about your Christmas party on a slip of paper small enough to fit into the glass bulb. Now roll it up and then tie it with a piece of ribbon. Slip the paper into the glass bulb ornament and surround it with decorative Christmas confetti. You will obviously want to hand deliver these invitations, so this idea would work best for those who are in town. You can send these invitations out to guests who live further away, but it may be costly.

Christmas is the time for gingerbread. Many people use gingerbread to create gingerbread houses or gingerbread people. Gingerbread is also used to create ornaments for the Christmas tree. Gingerbread ornaments are also great to use for Christmas party invitations. Simply cut out and bake your gingerbread ornament, making sure to poke a hole in the top before baking. Once your ornaments have baked and cooled, they are ready to attach your invitations to. Using the same cookie cutters you used to create your gingerbread ornaments, trace the shape onto your invitation paper and cut them out. Write down all of the details of your Christmas party onto the paper. Punch a hole on top of your paper once you have finished writing down the details. Place the paper back to back with your gingerbread ornament and tie together with a ribbon. Not only will guests receive a creative invitation for your Christmas party, but they will receive a homemade gingerbread ornament as well.
