How to Create Beautiful Digital Custom Party Invitations
The best way to let loved ones know about any event is with a party invitation, but what’s even better than a regular invite? A custom party invitation!
In this guide we’ll share why we think this is the best option for any special moment, along with how to create and send your own online party invitations with Greenvelope.
Why Digital Custom Party Invitations are Perfect
In our opinion, online personalized party invitations are the way to go. You get to express your creativity, make something unique, and contribute towards a more eco-friendly environment. Here are the best reasons to choose digital for your next custom party invitations.
They’re Unique to You
Plenty of birthdays, weddings, and parties happen every week, but none looks exactly the same as yours — and your invites should feel just as unique. With custom party invitations, you can choose and personalize different elements to create a design that feels special — even if you started from a template.
More Affordable Than Hiring a Designer
We love custom designed party invites, but they can get expensive — especially if you’re commissioning wedding invitations. A wonderful alternative is our digital custom party invitations. You get all the benefits of high quality design and personalization, without the big price tag. Perfect for your graduation party, housewarming party, or themed tea party.
They’re Eco-Friendly
Printed party invitations can quickly use up a lot of resources. Invitation cards, RSVP cards, address labels, and the gas you use to get them to the post office (not to mention the fuel used to deliver them) are all valuable resources. Save time, money, and energy with the more eco-friendly alternative — our online invitations.

2. Choose a Design You Love
Once you’ve considered a few designs, narrow it down to your favorite — we know this can be the hardest part! With so many amazing, colorful designs, how can you choose just one for your luau themed pool party or your historical murder mystery dinner?
Take inspiration from the themes, styles, and colors you love, as well as the type of event you’re planning. If you’re hosting for someone else, what do they like the most? Make your custom party invitations feel even more special by featuring an aesthetic, color palette, or theme that feels unique to you.
3. Customize Your Party Invitations
Our invitation designs are just the starting point. Once you’ve found an invitation template you love, it’s time to get customizing!
Play around with different elements on the invitation design to see what you like best. Experiment with the layout, move sections around, and make it feel bespoke. Change the fonts, colors, and wording. If it’s a photo card, add in your favorite photos. This is the perfect time to get creative!
4. Upload Your Guest List
With your design all ready to go, the next step is to assemble your guest list. After all, nobody can see your amazing invitations if you don’t send them.
Create a guest list and upload it straight into Greenvelope, and you’re almost done. Double check everyone’s details and then decide whether you want to send email invitations, text invitations, or both.
5. Send Your Custom Party Invitations
Your guest list is all prepared and your invitations are looking perfect, and the final step is to send them out.
Choose to send your invitations now, or schedule them for a time in the future. Not only is sending your invites easy, but your guests can RSVP in just a few clicks too — saving you valuable time on chasing who is and isn’t coming to the big day.
