Harry Potter Invites

Hi all,

So I thought I would do a blog post on some invites I made last year. So lets go back to last year, I am turning 21 and need a theme for my party. Now back then I was (and still am) a huge Harry Potter fan, so what better way to celebrate my 21st Birthday then to have a Harry Potter party!

I wanted to send out invites but the ones online were either not right or were too expensive. So, me being a design student, thought what the hell I will make my own.

I began by looking up what the Hogwarts acceptance letter looked like, I thought this would be a great idea to use as the invites :D

I decided that this was definitely what I wanted to do. So I began by looking up pictures of parchment on google until I found the one I wanted.

Looking back, this is actually a little too light for my liking :/. Anywho, I then found the Hogwarts crest on google and the writing from the letter as a guideline. Another thing that made this a lot better is that I googled Minerva Mcgonagalls signature for the bottom, this really added to the invite! 

So this is the final letter! The editing of the signature is awful! :/ anyway I was very pleased with the end result. 

I also added a few other things in the envelope :D 

Every Hogwarts letter isn't complete without the second page! 

And of course the ticket to Hogwarts of course :D This I found on google.

I was so pleased with the invites I made and all my friends were so excited to receive a letter from Hogwarts ;)

 And here is a group shot at the party, I was of course Harry Potter :D Everyone did so great with costumes!

So there is how I made my invitations :D hope you enjoyed and I hope you will make them too.

Toodles xx
