We're making a bar mitzvah soon BH, and we're at the point where we have to order invitations. For our other boys, a graphic artist friend designed the invitations for us and we just took them to a local printer, but that friend is no longer doing graphics and I'm not sure how to go about designing the invitation. Are there any online invitations where we can just fill in the details and then have them printed? We're not in a position where we can afford to spend more than necessary, so I'm looking for the cheapest way to get something decent. We want something simple but nice with both Hebrew and English.

The frum printer we used did the graphics for us, it was included in the price. Is there an option for you to use a frum printer? Even if you don't have one where you live, it may be cost effective for you to order it from somewhere frum and have it shipped.

Not sure how the pricing compares. But here is a DIY site

We live in EY but not in a frum area and there is no frum printer here. There is a printer in our local mall though who might have something. I wasn't aware that the graphics are usually included in the price. I'll definitely look into that option. Thanks!

Those are some gorgeous invitations, but they're a lot more expensive than what we've done before. Also, I forgot to mention that we're in EY and shipping will likely not be cheap. Thanks though - I might take some ideas from that site.

Can you use the layout and design from your other boys and just change the details?

I just looked there but did not see any bar mitzvah invitations. If you've seen any, can you provide a link? Thanks so much.

I wanted to do that but don't have the open files, so they can't be edited.

That is so kind of you! I'm going to check with the printer tomorrow to see if they include graphics for free. If they don't, I'll be sure to email you. Thanks so much!

I went to the printer today and he said that I should look on Google for graphics because they don't include them. Singleagain, look out for an email from me.
