With the kid’s 1st birthday quickly approaching, I realized I had better get some invitations made for her birthday party.

As many of you already know, I am a big PicMonkey fan. I love all the cool things it lets you do with photos. And for just $6 a month, it is well worth the money since you can save boatloads on creating your own invitations, holiday cards and more and not pay retail for them! If you don’t have a Picmonkey subscription yet, you can get a free trial by clicking here.

I have used PicMonkey for my master bedroom wall art, my blog design, and to make my pictures “pin-worthy,” among other things. So, with the help of Picmonkey, I whipped up some pretty stellar invitations for the kiddo’s birthday.

How to Create an Invitation with Picmonkey

Isn’t it adorable? The birthday party theme” is pink and blue, thus why those pops of color in the invitation.
This invitation was pretty simple to make. Here’s how I created this Picmonkey invitation:
Step 1
The first thing you want to do is upload an image for your background. I used a chalkboard background I found for free here.
Step 2
Next, add any other overlays you want to use. I added the blue borders I found here. The banners and labels were all found on PicMonkey. I put where you can find them in the image below.

Step 3
Now, its time to add your text. All you do is add the text box and place it where you want it on the image. I put what fonts I used in the image below.

Step 4
Once you have your Picmonkey invitation how you want it, save it. At this point, you can opt to print it off locally or you can go to Picmonkey Print and print from there – one stop shop.
