Christmas Invitation Ideas
-
Party hat invitations - A cheap and easy idea for making your invitations is to buy a bunch of green and red party hats. The ones that unfold into the shape of a crown. Simply write your party details directly on to the hat, pop it into an envelope and you're set.
-
Cut your invites in a geometric shape like a tree, christmas decoration, star or similar. Other shapes can include Santa Clause, an Xmas stocking.
-
Make a batch of Christmas cookies. Print your invitation information onto a piece of card or paper and cut around it in the same shape as your cookie. Place the cookie on top of your invitation and wrap them both in clear cellophane. Tie it up with ribbon or tape.
-
Make some simple stockings from felt material and slip and invitation inside the stocking. Hand them out to your guests.

Christmas Party Invitations
I wanted to share some of the invitations I made for our holiday party this
year. I kept them super simple. The inside has a piece of cardstock with the
information about the party printed on to it, and I used clear photo corners
to attach it.

Adhere the charm to the front of the card as per the images above. If you are using metallic charms with a flat back I like to use double sided tape (some times I layer the tape 3 or 4 times) or my favorite adhesive for metal embellishments 'glossy accents'
