This tutorial provides the step-by-step instructions for making this owl invitation, using the free printable Owl party invitation provided by Mom's Break. The link to the free printable is provided below.

To make the Owl Invitation, you'll need:
- The free printable Owl Invitation (link provided below)
- Plain computer paper (or colored card stock, as shown here)
- Curl ribbon (as shown here), string, or yarn
- scissors, hole punch, and glue stick (not shown)
The Owl Invitation comes in two formats: pre-printed Inside and blank inside. Use whichever format you prefer. See below for a link to the instructions for adding text to the pre-printed Inside using Microsoft Paint.
Print the invitations. As shown here, the invitation is printed on gray card stock, which is heavier paper than regular computer paper. Card stock is available in office supply stores like Office Depot.
Cut out both the Front and the Inside
of the invitation.
- If you are writing in the party details by hand, it may be easier to do that before you cut out the Inside of the invitation.
- If you want to pre-print the party details, then see below for a link to the tutorial that will assist you in using Microsoft Paint to insert text into the Owl Invitation before you print it.
Once both the Front and the Inside of the invitation are cut out, you'll need to punch holes in both so that you can tie the pieces of the invitation together.
Place the Front on top of the Inside (make sure the Inside of the invitation is text-side up). This will align the holes.
Punch through both the Front and the Inside at the same time, using the white circles as a guide.
Use lengths of curl ribbon (as shown here), string, or yarn to tie the Front and the Inside together.
This finishes the invitation.
