Invitations
How to choose invitations
Sub-type match
Pick a sub-type first: Party & Celebration covers life events, Arts & Entertainment fits character themes, Party Supplies holds printable basics.
Material tier
Choose material: digital file for DIY control, paper or card for send-ready, wood or silk for a keepsake feel.
Colour axis
Match colour from the range white, pink, brown, blue, green, black, red, grey, silver, purple to your event palette.
Custom vs template
Decide between custom art and ready templates, as personalised drawing takes longer but meets exact briefs.

What's good
- Digital file invitations let you print copies at home, handy if you need many at short notice.
- Ready printed paper and card invites arrive prepared to send, good for those without a printer.
- Silk, gold, or metal materials give a tactile finish for Party & Celebration events like weddings.
- Arts & Entertainment designs carry specific themes, a strong fit for character birthday parties.
Things to watch
- Digital downloads put printing on you, and shades like grey or silver can look different off a home printer.
- Paper and card versions can crease if left stacked unevenly before posting.
- Custom drawn invitation services need your details first, a slower path than buying a ready file.
- Themed Arts & Entertainment invites may feel too casual for a formal christening or saving the date.
- Wood or metal types are rigid, so they will not fold into an envelope like cardstock.
Care & maintenance
Flat storage
Paper and card invites need flat dry storage, a point to weigh if your space is small.
Damp avoidance
Silk or gold materials should stay away from damp, so indoor keeping suits them best.
File backup
Digital files call for a backup, consider your tech setup before choosing download.
Gentle wipe
Wood or metal versions only need a soft cloth wipe, simple upkeep for keepsake buyers.
