My daughter’s third birthday party was a lot of fun to plan! I wanted to make some simple invitations for it that didn’t take a lot of time. With watercolors being a fun trend right now, I decided to spruce up my invites with a bit of watercolor paints!
You’ll need a few supplies to make a watercolor invitations:
Watercolors
Watercolor Paper (cut to 8.5 x 11 inches)
Paint brush
Pallet to mix watercolors
Printer
I created a simple invitation on my computer and printed it out in black and white onto the cut down watercolor paper.
I decided to paint a little watercolor onto some of the letters in the invitations. I also added a few stripes to the top and bottom! But really anything is possible!
And, just like that, the invitations went from boring to beautiful!
I loved that each invitation was a little unique. Each one was just a little bit different with each stroke of the paint brush.
I was even able to dress up the food labels with the watercolors; they really are a lot of fun to play with!

Hi! These are beautiful and have inspired me to make my daughter’s first birthday invitations with watercolor.
Can you tell me which font you used for the Oui Oui? It’s so cute and I can’t find it in Word.
Thank you!
