Quick answer: open the free invitation template in Altto Layout, type your event, date and place over the sample text, then save it as a PDF or image to print or send. It runs in your browser, needs no sign-up and nothing is uploaded.

Publisher used to be the easy way to make a party, wedding or christening invitation. This is an original A5 portrait invitation with a soft pink background, a thin border, a heart, a script-style name and clear lines for the date, time, place and reply-by date. It is a birthday sample, but the wording is all editable text, so it works for any occasion.

How to make your invitation

  1. Click Open the invitation template. The editor opens with the sample invitation on the page.
  2. Double-click any text to change it: who is invited, the occasion, the date, the venue and the reply-by line.
  3. Change the colours and fonts from the side panel to suit the event. Swap the heart for another shape if you like.
  4. Choose PDF to print, or PNG/JPG to send it by text, WhatsApp or email.

Tips for printing and sending

  • A5 is half of A4. Most home printers print A5 on A4 paper; trim along the edge, or ask a print shop for A5 card.
  • Print at 100% (“actual size”), not “fit to page”.
  • Always include a reply-by date and a phone number or email so guests know how to answer.
  • For a digital invitation, save a PNG or JPG: it opens on any phone without an app.

Other designs in the same editor: certificate, 2027 calendar, flyer, newsletter, menu and business card. It can also open old .pub files.
