15th Birthday Party Invitations

There are two main formats your birthday invitation can take: digital and paper. If you want, you can make one digital and one paper if you are really excited.

  • Paper invitation - using a black colored standard card size of 5 by 7 inches, write out the word fifteen in silver marker, looking like a chalkboard. Draw twinkle lights across the top of the invitation and say “this party is going to light up the world”.
  • Digital invitation - on the computer, design an invitation that has related theme pictures and pictures of you down that side that looks like an old photo booth strip. Then, write your party information on the right hand side and save as a photo to your device. The next step is virtually sending it out to everyone invited, which is more environmentally friendly and will get to people quicker.
