Easy-to-Make Holiday Party Invitations and Printables

Planning a kids' Christmas party? The excitement begins with the invitations! Crafting your own holiday party invitations and printables is a fun and creative way to set the tone for your festive celebration. Here are some easy-to-make ideas that will get everyone in the holiday spirit!

1. Simple Printable Invitations

Design simple, colorful invitations using online tools like Canva or Adobe Spark. Choose a holiday theme and customize it with festive graphics and fonts. Include all the essential details: date, time, location, RSVP information, and any special instructions (like wearing holiday attire!). Print them out on cardstock for a polished look.

2. DIY Snow Globe Invitations

Capture the magic of the season by creating DIY snow globe invitations! Use clear plastic bags filled with faux snow (or glitter) and attach a card with your party details inside. When guests shake the globe, they’ll reveal the invitation, making it a fun surprise! This idea ties perfectly into your DIY Snow Globe Craft Kits, inviting guests to join in the holiday crafting spirit.

3. Holiday-Themed E-Invitations

If you prefer a digital approach, consider sending holiday-themed e-invitations via email or social media. Websites like Evite or Paperless Post offer beautiful templates that are easy to customize. Include fun graphics, and don’t forget to link to your party's activities, such as crafting with snow globe kits or festive games!

4. Crafty Invitations with Kids

Involve your kids in the invitation-making process! Set up a crafting station with colored paper, markers, and stickers. Let them create their own invitations, allowing them to express their creativity. This not only adds a personal touch but also makes the invitation a memorable part of your holiday traditions.

5. Countdown to Christmas Calendar

Create a countdown calendar leading up to your party! Design a printable calendar featuring fun holiday activities or a “countdown to Christmas” theme. Each day can reveal a fun fact, a task, or a sneak peek of what to expect at the party. Share this calendar with guests to build excitement and anticipation!

6. Themed Printable Labels

Enhance your party's atmosphere with themed printable labels for food and drinks. Design labels for treats like “Rudolph’s Red Velvet Cupcakes” or “Frosty’s Fruit Punch.” You can easily create these using printable label sheets available at any office supply store. This adds a festive flair to your party while making it easy for kids to identify snacks and drinks.

7. Holiday Activity Sheets

Include printable holiday activity sheets with your invitations! These could feature word searches, coloring pages, or festive mazes that kids can complete before the party. This not only builds excitement but also provides a fun activity to keep them occupied while waiting for the big day.

8. Photo Booth Props

Make your party even more fun with printable holiday-themed photo booth props! Include items like Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and festive signs. Kids can use these props to take silly photos during the party, creating more memories to cherish later. These props can easily be printed out and attached to sticks for easy use.

9. Thank You Notes

Don’t forget to include thank-you notes in your printable ideas! After the party, send out personalized thank-you cards that include a photo from the event or a drawing made by your child. This thoughtful gesture adds a special touch and reinforces the importance of gratitude during the holiday season.

10. Embrace Personalization

Personalizing invitations and printables adds a unique touch to your holiday party. Include the child’s name on each invitation or tailor the activities to suit their interests. This small detail makes everyone feel special and more connected to the celebration.
