How to Create Your Own New Year’s Eve Party Invitation
To create your own New Year’s Eve party invitation, head to the Invitation Maker to get started. This will take you directly to the library of invitation templates within our Graphic Designer. Then, follow the simple steps below!
Step 1: Choose an Invitation Template
To narrow down your options to templates with a New Year’s Eve theme, you can type this term into the search bar in the top-left corner. There are also plenty of other designs which you can easily customize into a New Year’s Eve-themed invitation if you wish.
Select one that takes your fancy, then click Use This Template to begin.
Step 2: Change the Background Color
If you fancy changing the background color of your invite, you can do this by selecting Customize in the main menu and choosing one of the colored squares. You can also select a color of your choosing by clicking on the first square with the dropdown symbol on it. Find your desired shade using the Color Picker, type in its HEX Color Code, or use the Eye Dropper Tool to use a hue already present in your design.
Step 3: Edit the Existing Text
Next, it’s time to personalize the template’s text so it reflects your own party’s details. To do this, click on any text box on your template twice and type what you want. When you select a text box, a Text Properties panel also appears, where you can adjust things such as the font, size, color, spacing, and more.
Step 4: Add Graphics, If Necessary
If you want to add some additional, fun elements to your invitation, click on Graphics in the main menu on the left. You can choose from Basic Shapes or click Search Graphics to access BeFunky’s huge library of clip art, symbols, lines, and more. You can even type “New Year’s Eve” into the search bar in the top-left of the library to find graphics related to the holiday.
Simply click on the graphics you wish to use, and they will be added to the Your Graphics section. You can then use your mouse to click and drag the graphic onto your invitation design.
And if you want to change the color of a new or existing graphic, this is easy to do. Click on the graphic you wish to alter, and a Graphic Properties panel appears. Simply click the swatch next to Color Overlay, then select a color from the Color Picker. You can also type in your desired HEX Code (if you know it) or use the Eye Dropper Tool to select a hue already present in your design.
Step 6: Save Your New Year’s Eve Party Invitation
Once you’re happy with your New Year’s Eve party invitation design, all that’s left to do is save it so it’s ready to share with your invite list – either digitally or by printing it out and mailing it to them. Click Save at the top of the screen to save your work to your computer, as well as Facebook, Dropbox, and more!
