It\u2019s summer! That means it\u2019s prime time for hosting a spectacular get-together for your friends and family members. To celebrate the season of warmer, longer days, we\u2019re sharing top tips for designing your summertime party invitations, including a variety of fun themes and wording ideas.\u00a0<\/span> While you could settle for the first summertime party invitation you see, we know you\u2019re looking for something special. Here\u2019s how to create a showstopping <\/span>summer party invitation<\/a><\/strong> that\u2019ll have your guests ready to RSVP ASAP!<\/span><\/p>\n All the best summer parties have a theme. Whether you go all-out with a tropical paradise backdrop or keep it simple with a rainbow theme for a summertime birthday party, there\u2019s always a style to suit your party idea.<\/span><\/p>\n We love the idea of matching your party invitation to the theme of your get-together. This helps give your guests an idea of what to expect in terms of atmosphere, so they can have fun picking out the perfect outfit, gift, or accessories to bring along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some of the most popular <\/span>DIY themes for summer parties<\/a><\/strong> revolve around bright colors and imagery \u2014 think palm trees, flamingos, watermelon, greenery, and brightly colored drinks for a fiesta or <\/span>Hawaiian luau<\/a><\/strong>. If you\u2019re planning a beach or pool party, look for an invite that features a pool, waves, or a sandy shore. For a more sophisticated cocktail party, opt for a design that features a moody sunset or has gold accents. (We have plenty of options, so stick with us.)<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Paper Raven Co.<\/p><\/div>\n Once you\u2019ve found a design you love, it\u2019s all about the customization. The beauty of <\/span>digital invitations<\/a><\/strong> is that you have the freedom to personalize your invitation wording. Not only that, but with Greenvelope designs, you also have a variety of color options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Take the design you\u2019ve found and play around with the different colorways to see which you prefer best. If there isn\u2019t one you love, you can always request our design experts to customize it with your own colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After you\u2019ve chosen your colors, you can move on to making changes to the wording. Swap out where it says \u201cpool party\u201d for \u201cbeach party,\u201d or add the guest of honor\u2019s name to the front of their birthday party invitation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Summer is all about getting outdoors and having fun with the people you love. Let those sunny sentiments shine with the wording on your summertime party invitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Instead of saying \u201cWe invite you to our summer cookout,\u201d try something like \u201cSun\u2019s out! Time to get the grill out!\u201d instead. Or you could include some imagery from your party theme \u2014 like \u201cWe can\u2019t wait for you to sip a mojito under our palm canopy!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure what to say, here are some playful summertime party invitation wording ideas for a few popular occasions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have a specific theme, you can always stick with a few words about how you\u2019re so glad it\u2019s summer, happy that the sun is shining, or that you can\u2019t wait to catch up on everyone\u2019s fun plans for the next few months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ready to dive in and find the best summertime party invitation for your family reunion, bridal shower, baby shower, or birthday party? Here\u2019s a collection of our most loved designs \u2014 organized by theme, so you can easily find what you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hosting an epic BBQ or a casual picnic for loved ones?
