Tiffany Blue Damask Invitation

A few weeks ago, I hosted a bridal shower for my sister-in-law. I thought I would share with you my invitation design and offer it as a free template that you could use for any upcoming event you may be planning. It is simple yet elegant, a classic tiffany blue Damask pattern on an ivory background. It could be used for a bridal shower, baby boy shower, birthday party or whatever you have in mind.

You might also notice the Mason jar candle holder in the picture. This is a super easy and inexpensive party decor idea. I used blue and green food coloring to color the water. I couldn’t find any floating candles, so I just used tea light candles, and they floated. Who knew?

For the tables I did these large tissue paper flowers as centerpieces—another decoration that was easy and inexpensive.

Now on to the invitation…The template is set up in Microsoft Word and can be used with version 2004 and later. Download the file by clicking on the link below. Then click "File" and "Download."

Open it up and customize for your event by clicking on the text box. You can change the fonts and text to your liking. I used Times font in the template, since just about everyone has it. Once you get it how you want, you can print it from your home printer on a piece of cardstock.

 As you can see, I have crop marks on the template. This is where the invitation should be cut. If you only need a few, you could cut it yourself at home using a ruler and an X-Acto knife. Line the ruler up with the crop marks and slice along the line with the X-Acto knife. Just make sure you are working on a surface that you can cut on like a cutting mat used for sewing. Or you could bring it in to your local Kinko’s store and have them cut it for you. I have done this before, and the charge is minimal.

Pair it with an ivory #10 size envelope, and voila, you’ve got a stylish, custom and inexpensive invitation to set the mood for your upcoming event!
