Celebrating the Daytona 500 at Your Home

Making handmade invitations is not as difficult as it may seem. There are various websites that provide help in this area. This guide will show you how simple it is to make personalized invitations for your Nascar party.

1. Decide on your materials

Do you want your invitations to have a fun or formal look? If you want to have a fun look you will want to go with colored paper that you can turn into a flyer-type invitation. You could also go with postcards, which would also save you money on postage. If you want to have a more formal feel to your Nascar party invitations you can buy card stock paper. Don't forget to buy the envelopes as well. If you want to be modern and green, you can e-mail your invitations.

2. Decide on your theme

Do you want an entertaining theme or do you want to have a traditional look to your Nascar party invitations? If you want a fun theme you can go with a Nascar theme like racing cars, balloons, and vibrant colors. If you want a traditional theme you can use traditional invitation templates.

3. Design your invitation

There are a number of websites that help you design your invitations absolutely free. For example,

www.print-greeting-cards.com and www.americangreetings.com/printables offer customizable invitation templates for you. These sites allow you to print off your design directly to your printer. If you want to make a flyer-type Nascar party invitation, you can use Microsoft Publisher, Word or other publishing software you may already have. These programs have built-in templates for your project that are fully customizable. Microsoft Documents Online also have templates that are contributed from members that are no cost to you at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates. If you want to do e-mail invitations you can use www.evite.com where you can select from pre-designed templates and add-in your party information. You can also use www.incredimail.com to make your own invitation from within your e-mail account.

4. Print off your invitation

Once you have your design all ready to go you can print them off on your computer. Make sure to properly estimate the number of invitations you will need and make sure you have enough ink in your printer. Using a color printer will make the Nascar invitation stand out, but printing in black and white will save you money in the long run. Using a laser printer will also give you a clean, crisp look.

5. Mail them off

Once you have your Nascar party invitations done, all you will have left to do is address the envelopes. If you have Microsoft Word you can use their mail merge features to import your mailing addresses and print them all directly onto the envelopes.

Now sit back and relax, wait for the RSVP's and have fun watching the Daytona 500.
