Years ago, I spent a year as a wedding planner. It was my dream job but after one long wedding season of all nighters, closing down weddings… I realized it wasn’t really my dream job. I wanted to see my husband who worked a normal 9-5. But I do still love weddings, especially DIY weddings… so very much.

So much so that when blogging became my job I worked for wedding vendors writing blogs and creating content for them to keep a hand in the industry. It’s been a solid 15 years since my summer of weddings now (how time flies!). 

This month, I joined forces with some amazing SVG designers to create a collection of wedding themed SVG files for you… for free! I thought it was the perfect excuse to dust off my love for wedding invitation designing and created a template for modern wedding invitations as my free SVG file for you! 

With modern arches, clean lines, and a trifold design (with pocket!), this is the perfect modern look invitation for a small wedding and an even smaller budget. 

I know that wedding invitations have gotten SO fancy since my wedding planning days and I know that custom stationery and paper goods (like every cost that goes into your big day!) can ADD UP quick, so I’m excited to make a modern aesthetic wedding template for you to help cut your costs by making your own wedding invitations!

Yes, I know it doesn’t technically have hand lettering on it and the blog is called Hand Lettered Printables BUT… you can put all the hand lettering in the world on these once they’re cut. I mean… how pretty is the gold foil ‘you’re invited’ on the green ones?! 

This free wedding pocket invitation svg is a fold out invitation with a little pocket for the different invitation, RSVP and information cards that you might want to include in your invitation package.

Having all the pieces as their own separate cards is a great way to include all of the necessary information in one aesthetic package. The SVG file is layered so you can make each card a different color if you like and the invitation template has lines for your Cricut to score where you need to fold as well.

I’m excited to be getting together with a group of friends to listen to Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets album when it releases later this week. We were just going to sit together and bead… but them we decided to make invitations and make it a whole party. If you’re planning on the same- feel free to use my TTPD Listening Party invitation and printable sign for your door!

To keep with the TTPD theme, we’re going with the black and white sepia tint that Taylor Swift has branded the album with. Everything is very academic official looking so although you know I love hand lettering… this set of printables has none of it 😉

The invitation is labeled a ‘Member Assembly’ and reads:

This invitation has been extended to you as a current member of The Tortured Poets Department in good standing.
Kindly arrive early, prepared to discuss the manuscript, artifacts & other documentation. Tissues & light refreshments to be provided.

And then there’s room for you to add your own location details as well!

School is almost out for the year, and I am so ready for some camping! This year, I’m planning a fun end of school year party, and I thought a camping theme would be perfect since that is what our family loves to do in the summer. What’s better than a great group of friends, a campfire, s’mores and games? The best part is, you don’t need to actually GO camping to make this party happen. You could host it in your backyard (that’s my plan), or if you have access to a public space that would be great too, especially if you are planning a larger gathering.

Many cities have day use picnic sites that you can reserve, and many include a fire pit or barbecue and open green space where your guests can play games and run! Do a little bit of research and I’m confident you can find the perfect venue for your needs. 

Camping-Themed Party Ideas

Once you’ve got that sorted, you need to invite your guests! I’ve created a free fillable template for camping party invitations! You can customize it for any event. For example, you can use it for a:

• Campfire invitation
• Baby shower (works for a girl or a boy!)
• Graduation celebration
• Bachelor party
• Bachelorette party
• Birthday party invitation
• Bridal shower
• Family reunion
• Bat mitzvah
• Canada Day celebration
• Independence Day (for my American friends)
• End of school year party
• Mother’s Day party
• Father’s Day party

I’ve hand lettered this card with simple artwork, so it’s perfect for either a girl or boy birthday invitation as well! Camping is such a great theme because it’s gender neutral, works for any occasion (as you can see from my list above!), and is fun for both adults and kids alike.

Downloading your free editable PDF camping invitation

1. To get started, download the free editable PDF file. If you’re not already on my newsletter, you’ll need to join, but don’t worry, you can opt out anytime! I only send awesome hand lettered printables though, so you’ll never want to leave.
2. Next, ensure you have a PDF reader installed (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader) so you can easily open and edit the invitation.
3. Personalize the invitation. I have two versions for you, one that you can print and write on and one that has fillable fields. This is where you include important details like:
   • Your party title
   • When it is
   • Where and how to RSVP
4. Once you’re satisfied with your personalized camping themed invitation, it’s time to print it out! I made these so that there are two of them on a standard 8.5 x 11 page just to keep it easy. Use quality cardstock or thicker paper to give your invitation a professional look and feel, and so that it won’t get crumpled up quite as easily. Plain paper is just so fragile, it doesn’t really work for invitations.

You can hand them out in person, send them via mail, or even send digital versions!

Free Canva Template for a Camping Invitation

Do you Canva? I love using Canva for quick graphics and cards! It’s free to use (they have a premium version as well, but you don’t need it for this) and you can add the details for your party in Canva. Then, once you’re happy with your invitation, you can print it off!

Take me to the Canva Template!

As always, free printables are for personal use only (print for you and all your friends, but don’t sell them, offer them as a download or modify them).

I always think that hand lettering makes everything feel so much fancier and more fun, and it’s definitely true for these invitations! And because you don’t have to actually do the hand lettering yourself, these invitations will help you effortlessly set the stage for a fantastic camping party experience for your invited guests.

Simply download, customize, print, and distribute your personalized invitations to kick off your outdoor celebration. All you have left to do is bring in some more fun camping vibes! Some of my favourites:

• Hot dogs
• Salad in a bag
• S’mores
• Juice boxes

You can also add some on-theme party games like ladder ball or horse shoes, and you’re all set. These invitations will get your friends and family super excited about an unforgettable camping adventure!

One thing I love about creating fillable invitations like this is that anyone could use it for any kind of party! Did you throw a camping baby shower or birthday party? Tag me @colleenpastoor or put a pic in the comments of your camping party creation, I would love to see it!
