Birthday party invitations are a great way to commemorate a landmark birthday. Some people content themselves with e mail invites or phone calls for their more forgettable birthdays. But if your daughter is having a Sweet Sixteen, or you are throwing a party for your big 4-0, you should really use beautiful birthday party invitations. The best birthday invitations available are handmade cards printed on heavy, acid free paper.

Handmade Birthday Party Invitations

"Handmade" is not the same thing as "personalized." A personalized card is printed with the birthday boy's name and info. A handmade card is so much more! When you order handmade birthday party invitations, you will decide on the ink color, font, card stock, design and even the lining of the envelope.

You'll have a large number of styles and colors to choose from. By mixing and matching different styles, you'll create unique invitations that reflect the celebrant's style. For your mother the gardener, you might want to choose a delicate font in gold ink tucked into an envelope lined with flamboyant, colorful florals. For your father the bookworm, you might choose a simpler design, adorned with a quotation from one of his favorite authors.

Choose high quality products. Acid free paper is the only kind to use, since it resists fading with age. These invitations are going to be special enough to keep as mementos. Make sure they are durable enough to do so, too.
