How to Create the Perfect Princess Birthday Invitations

It’s easy to make your own princess party invites with Greenvelope, even if you’re not a designer or it’s your first time. Here’s how to complete the process from start to finish!

1. Confirm Your Princess Birthday Theme

You’re hosting a princess themed party, but there are so many different types to choose from. It’s time to narrow down your princess party ideas so you can find a party invite that matches perfectly.

Is it a fairytale themed celebration for a teen? A pastel unicorn princess party for a toddler? Are you looking for a Disney princess invitation, or something that feels more like a royal tea party? Are you all about pastels and florals, or does the birthday guest of honor want to go bold and colorful with rainbow brights?

Think about the kind of birthday party theme you’re going for, so you can start your invite template search in the right place. With so many designs to choose from, having an idea of what you’d like can help — especially if you’re running low on time.

2. Find an Invitation Template

Design: Signature Greenvelope

At Greenvelope we have plenty of princess and fairytale theme party invitations for you to choose from. There’s everything from whimsical watercolors to fantasy dragons to rainbow castles and this sweet Princess Carriage Invitation.

We have princess birthday party invitations that are full of color and some that are more understated for a sophisticated royal vibe. Some invitations feature beautiful illustrations, while others use text and graphics to make an impact. You can even add a photo of the birthday girl or boy to many of our party invite designs.

Explore our collection of birthday party invitations and find a few you like the look of. Since our designs are so easy to customize, you can also look beyond birthday invites and explore baby shower invitations or birthday cards too. Consult with the birthday guest of honor for their opinion if they’re old enough to pick out their favorite.

Another reason to love these digital invitations instead of a printable version is that we often have matching thank you card designs too, or designs that feel like a wonderful match to the color or party vibe you’re looking for. This means you can send a fun thank you note after the celebration too.

3. Customize Your Princess Birthday Invitations

After you’ve found your favorite princess theme design, it’s time for the fun part — customizing it. Our invitation templates are easy to personalize, so you can take a designer-made template and make it feel like it was created with the guest of honor in mind.

Experiment with the layout by moving different elements around, and play around with the typography and font colors until you find the perfect one for your design. Choose the color scheme that matches your celebration or work with our design team to add your own color palette instead.

4. Add Some Fun Wording

Once you’re happy with the overall design, start adding your birthday party details and wording. Include all the essentials like the date, time, venue, and any plans you have for activities or games. You can also add some fun wording to get your party guests excited for the special day.

Write the invite as though you’re asking guests to join you at a fairytale princess ball, or include a note from the prince or princess themselves saying how much they’re looking forward to the celebration. You could even include a line from their favorite princess movie or book, or song lyrics that they love.

5. Send or Schedule Your Princess Birthday Invites

With all the wording added and the design finalized, you only have one final step left — to send the invites.

With Greenvelope you can either send the invites straight away or schedule them for a future date and time. Send the invitations out nice and early to give your party guests enough time to RSVP. Use our handy online platform to track responses and keep your guest list up to date.
