For this craft you will need:

blank cards

photograph of your choosing

a calligraphy pen (marker style)

stamp ink pad

Begin by counting how many cards you will need, and having that number of photographs printed. It could be useful to have a couple of extra photos printed just in case you need to send some additional invitations out, or if you make a mistake while you are writing one then you will have one of the extras to write out. Then glue the photographs down to the outside of the cards. Write on the outside of the cards above the photograph "Sweet Sixteen" , or another greeting that you would like to use perhaps using your daughter's name and then saying "Birthday", using the calligraphy pen. Try to use a calligraphy pen that is complimentary with the blank cards that you have selected.

Stamp the rubber stamp on the inside of the card at the end of your message. Also stamp the rubber stamp on the outside of the envelope after you have addressed the card, on the back on the envelope. Your sweet sixteen birthday invitation cards are ready to mail out.
