How to Purchase, Customize, and Share Your Party Parrots Digital Invite Templates

Planning a party should be fun, exciting, and stress-free. At Party Parrots, our mission is to make celebrating life’s special moments as simple as possible with our digital invitation templates. Whether you’re throwing a birthday party, baby shower, graduation celebration, or just a fun get-together, our easy-to-use templates help you skip the hassle of traditional invites while still impressing your guests with something beautiful and unique.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the entire process—from purchasing your favorite invite template on our website, to personalizing it, and finally sending it out digitally or physically. By the end, you’ll see just how effortless it is to go from browsing to inviting with Party Parrots.

Step 1: Browse and Choose Your Template

The first step is simply finding the invitation design that best matches your event. Our Party Parrots shop is filled with colorful, creative, and customizable templates for every occasion. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Head to our collections and open the Invitations section.

  2. Use filters like theme (birthday, holiday, baby shower), color palette, or style to narrow down your choices.

  3. Click on a template you love to see more details—preview images, included features, and customization options.

  4. Check the description carefully to make sure it’s the right fit. We include details like dimensions, editing platforms (usually Canva), and whether matching items (thank-you cards, games, signs) are available.

💡 Pro tip: If you’re hosting multiple events throughout the year, consider bookmarking your favorite designs or purchasing a matching bundle for a consistent look across all your party stationery.

Step 2: Add to Cart and Checkout

Once you’ve selected the perfect invite, it’s time to make it yours.

  1. Click “Add to Cart.” You can continue shopping or head straight to checkout.

  2. Review your cart. Make sure you’ve got the correct template and check if you want to add coordinating items.

  3. Proceed to checkout. We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and other secure payment methods.

  4. Complete your purchase. As soon as your payment processes, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your download link.

The best part about Party Parrots templates? Instant access. No waiting around for a package in the mail—you can start customizing right away.

Step 3: Download Your Template

After checkout, you’ll receive a download link. Clicking it will take you to your file(s), usually provided as:

  • A PDF with editing instructions

  • A direct link to the editable template in Canva (or similar platform)

  • Sometimes, extra files like matching graphics or font suggestions

Make sure to save the files in an easy-to-find folder on your computer or device. Many customers create a dedicated “Party Parrots” folder so everything is organized in one spot.

Step 4: Customize Your Invite

Here’s where the fun really begins—you get to personalize your invite to fit your event perfectly!

Most of our templates are edited in Canva, a free and beginner-friendly online design platform. If you don’t already have a Canva account, signing up takes just a few seconds.

  1. Open the provided link. This will copy the template into your Canva account.

  2. Edit the text. Replace placeholder details (like “Name Here” or “Date/Time”) with your actual event info.

  3. Adjust colors or fonts if desired. Most of our templates allow you to swap color palettes to match your party’s theme.

  4. Upload photos. Some invites include photo slots—perfect for birthdays or graduation parties.

  5. Preview your design. Take a moment to check spelling, dates, and formatting.

💡 Pro tip: Save multiple versions if you want a digital-only version (optimized for texting or email) and a print version (high resolution for physical cards).

Step 5: Save and Download Your Final Design

When you’re happy with your invite, it’s time to save it for sharing.

  • For texting or emailing: Save as a JPEG or PNG file. These are lightweight image formats that work great on phones and computers.

  • For printing: Save as a PDF file with “high quality” selected. This ensures your design prints sharp and professional.

Canva allows you to download multiple file types, so you can grab both digital and print versions in just a few clicks.

Step 6: Send Invitations Digitally

One of the biggest perks of using Party Parrots digital invites is how fast and easy it is to share them online.

Option 1: Send via Text Message

  1. Save your invite as a JPEG or PNG on your phone.

  2. Open your messaging app and create a group chat or send individually.

  3. Attach the image file, add a short personal message (“Can’t wait to celebrate with you!”), and hit send.

This is the quickest way to get your invites out—perfect for last-minute parties or casual gatherings.

Option 2: Send via Email

  1. Save your invite to your computer or phone.

  2. Create an email with a subject line like “You’re Invited!”

  3. Attach the invite image, or embed it directly in the email body.

  4. Add RSVP instructions or a link to your RSVP form (like Google Forms or Evite).

💡 Pro tip: For formal events, you may want to BCC guests so everyone receives the invite individually.

Step 7: Print Your Invitations (Optional)

If you prefer physical invitations—or simply love the idea of handing someone a tangible card—you can easily print your Party Parrots template.

Print at Home

  • Use high-quality cardstock for best results.

  • Set your printer to “Best” or “High Quality” mode.

  • Trim edges with scissors or a paper cutter for a polished look.

Print Through a Local Shop

  • Save your invite as a high-resolution PDF.

  • Bring it to a local print shop (like FedEx Office or Staples).

  • Ask about paper options like matte or glossy cardstock.

Order Online

Many online printers (Vistaprint, Shutterfly, Zazzle) allow you to upload your file and have invitations shipped directly to your door.

Step 8: Hand Out or Mail Your Physical Invites

For a more traditional approach, slip your printed invitations into envelopes and either hand them out or mail them to your guests. This is especially fun for milestone events like weddings, baby showers, or 1st birthdays where guests may want to keep the invite as a keepsake.

💡 Pro tip: Choose colorful envelopes or add stickers/seals for an extra festive touch.
