“How One Free Template Will Make You Feel Like a Designer”
Before the decorations, before the cake, even before I convinced Rebecca that no, we cannot ride to the party in a pumpkin carriage, we needed invitations. And I’ll be honest—I was ready to buy something cute online until I saw the price tag. $50+ for a printable invite?! I love my child, but I also love groceries.
So I went digging for something better. That’s when I stumbled across a Cinderella invitation set from Drevio.com—and girl, it was free. Not only that, but it was beautiful. It had that soft blue shimmer, elegant lettering, and the most adorable Cinderella graphic on both sides of the design. I’m telling you, it looked like it came straight out of a Disney illustrator’s sketchbook.
Editing it on Canva was easier than getting my daughter to wear pants that aren’t sparkly. I typed in Rebecca’s name, changed the time to match our party, and added our address—boom. It was ready to print, email, and send to the group chat. I even printed a few on glossy paper for keepsakes, and they looked SO professional, I may have patted myself on the back while drinking my third iced coffee of the day.
And the best part? The invitation was just the beginning. The free template pack also came with matching signs, thank-you cards, backdrops… basically everything I needed to tie the whole party together without stressing or spending a fortune. Honestly, I don’t know how moms planned themed parties before Canva. Of course, once the invites were out, it hit me—people were actually coming to this thing. Which meant it was time to turn our living room into a royal ball.
