Free printable birthday invitations will let you share the important details of your celebration while freeing up your budget for other party supplies.

Finding Free Printable Birthday Invitations

There are many online resources available to help you create the perfect invite. The following sites offer a wide range of printable birthday designs:

  • DLTK's Growing Together offers kid-focused printable invitations. The site provides a large selection of designs, including numerous cartoon characters, and several themed envelope templates. Some invites are ready-made and must be used as-is, while others allow users to customize every detail, from image to ink color. The site also provides separate files for color and black-and-white printers.
  • Coolest Kid Birthday Party hosts several thematic designs, including bowling, circus, pirates, sports, dinosaurs and many more. Some invitations also come with accompanying printable envelopes and thank you cards, so all of your party communications can be themed. Invitations are available in multiple sizes, and include options with and without printed text.
  • Invitationland allows users to create customized cards with several font choices, a complete color palette and changeable text on each design. The final product is provided as a PDF file to save or print. Although there are kid-friendly invites featuring dinosaurs and princesses, many designs are suitable for all ages.
  • American Greetings and Blue Mountain are both big names in the greeting card industry that offer printable invitations. However, their products are only free during brief free trial periods.
  • Activity Village provides a fun ticket invitation that can double as an envelope.

These are only a few of the sites offering invites to print. If you have a theme or image in mind, it is usually easier to search for "printable (theme or image) invitation" than to browse the selection on multiple websites.

Choosing Printable Invitations

If you've always purchased your party invites, you may be cautious about switching to printables. Consider the following advantages and disadvantages before making a decision.

Advantages

  • You can save money when you don't have to purchase invitations.
  • You can select exactly the design you want and print it on a paper of your choosing.
  • Kids can get involved in creating their own party invites. Ask them to sit beside you as you navigate the web site and let them choose their favorite images and colors.
  • After printing, you can add your own touches to the cards. Kids can color black-and-white invitations or glue on accents, such as glitter or ribbon.
  • Printable invites are convenient. You never have to leave the house, and you can make them at any time.

Disadvantages

  • Licensed characters may not be available as free printable birthday invitations. If your child has her heart set on a Barbie princess party theme, you may have to purchase the official invites from a store.
  • Printable invites can use a large amount of ink, which should be factored in to the cost savings.
  • The quality of the finished product is limited by the quality of your personal printer.
  • Many sites offering free invitations are ad-heavy, and you may have to deal with pop-ups while choosing a design.
  • When you download a free design, it often advertises the site address on the back of the invitation.

Whether you're gathering friends for your 21st birthday or planning a themed party for the kids, add printable invitations to your birthday planning checklist to take advantage of unique designs and a price that can't be beat.
