Cutest Summer Party Invites to Make Yourself

Between Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, summer is full of opportunities for a party, not to mention all those pools and barbecue grills just begging to be used. Although it’s easy to set up a Facebook event and invite all your friends through the click of a button, sometimes it’s nice to go old school and send out invitations through snail mail, or better yet, hand-delivered in person. Your guests will light up when they see any of these cute and creative summer invitations!

What better way to invite someone to a summer party than to send them a little bit of the pool? Although that may result in some wet paper, so instead try a handmade gel card - you seal blue hair gel or clear handsoap inside a plastic bag that peeks out of a die-cut window.  Get creative with the shape of your window!

This 3-D pineapple invitation from Oh Happy Day definitely needs to be hand-delivered, but will be worth it when your guests crack it open to see the surprise inside. They recommend filling the inside of the pineapple with candy and confetti, but you could also put directions or an RSVP card in as well.
