Although to a lesser extent, organizing a hen do involves a lot of work. It can’t compare to the wedding day, but if you’ve had to handle one, you certainly know what we’re talking about. Plus, since the wedding is a significant expense, it’s normal to look for something less costly for the hen do. Let’s look at a detail you can do at home and won’t require too much effort: creating your own hen do invitations.
Look for a template in your document program
If you use a program to create documents, you probably have several cool templates for making invitations. So take a look at your computer and review the available options. Don’t just focus on invitations, you can also look at greeting cards or images with text.
Once you’ve chosen the model, all that’s left to do is write what you want and invite everyone to the unique hen do you’re preparing.
Don’t have a writing program or not convinced by any template? You can also find some online options, like Google’s document program. If you take a look, you’ll see a gallery of templates with many choices. The process is the same again. Choose the one you like best, edit the text to suit your taste, and print as many invitations as you need.
Free resources for making invitations
Writing programs aren’t the only way to make hen do invitations. You can try downloading images and use them as cards, writing the text by hand on the back. A craft method that’s always worth trying.
There are many websites with ideas for hen dos that you can do yourself, because DIY is very popular. There you will surely find very original invitation models, even in various formats, not only on paper.
What about digital invitations?
Since we’re dealing with ideas offered by technology, why not use it to make a virtual invitation? You can send it via WhatsApp or another messaging program, by email or create a link to a private video inviting to the hen do. As always, your imagination in this regard is the limit. Surely you can come up with many ways to make it as unique as possible.
Likely, hen do invitations won’t be the most complicated thing you have to organise. But if you start unloading tasks, and make use of the resources available to make them without costing you too much, you can devote time and money to other things, to ensure the party is as good as possible. What’s the most original invitation you’ve received? Which idea would you like to make a reality?
