HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN SOIREE INVITES & SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

July 29, 2020 in LIFESTYLE

No matter what type of social event you are planning, you can design invitations yourself online that look just as chic as when you hire a stationer to do it for you. You can either print them yourself onto some good quality card or you can send the invitations out to your guests digitally. For some events, such as weddings, formal printed invitations are still the correct way to invite people; however for less formal gatherings like Christmas Eve parties, online invitations are generally expected now. You can also create matching Instagram highlight covers and Stories layouts for all those photos and videos you post! It’s time to get creative and design that consistent look that runs through all aspects of your upcoming event.

This is a sponsored post with Design Bundles, but all opinions are my own.design your own invitationsDesign Bundles are a digital graphics company that have a website full of adaptable images, design templates, fonts and patterns for you to get creative with designing your own invitations, place settings and social media posts so that your next soiree has a chic and consistent look through all stages. It’s so affordable and many are even free! They literally have everything you could ever need when designing anything. There are over 150,000 items and you can save up to 96% off RRP with their carefully curated design bundles.wine graphics

If you are holding a small gathering at your home, it makes sense to design your own invitations. You can then either email them or print them out and pop them through the letterboxes of your friends and neighbours. I always think a minimalist invitation works best, with just one or two images and a simple font. You could have one large image as the background by just increasing its transparency so that your text stands out on top, or you could arrange just a couple of svgs around your text. Whatever event you are having, there are images for it on Design Bundles!christmas graphicschristmas graphicsA Christmas Eve party Instagram post

If you want to give your Instagram a very edited, professional look, you could design post borders, Stories templates and highlights covers using some Christmas clip art and festive fonts available as affordable or free bundles on the Design Bundles site. Their range of free Christmas svg and low-cost svg bundles is immense, so you are sure to find something that fits your style. If you already use templates that you have designed on Instagram, it would be easy to keep to your theme, but just add a small festive element temporarily for the season. It would be fun to do this for your birthday week, Halloween season and Valentine’s month too. You could then use your festive bundles to create Christmas cards, gift tags and placecards!

I think that watercolour clip art and illustrations add a more tasteful look to children’s party invitations, compared to some of the more gaudier cartoon images available online. The invitations can still be fun, colourful and inviting to children; but have that more expensive, chic look to them. Team these drawn or painted images with some minimalist block capital text or a beautiful calligraphy font and then print onto high quality, thick card. You can then use the rest of the images from the design bundle you’ve purchased to make name place cards or to add name tags onto the children’s goodie bags. You can even design some matching writing paper or postcard for your child to send to their friends afterwards to thank them for their gifts.

The list of other things in your life that you could design and customise with Design Bundles is endless. From pantry jar labels and school jotter labels, to return address labels, gift tags and bookmarks. The only limit is your imagination. Just download the bundles you want and you have access to those images and fonts forever to use however you wish. It could be a great way to get kids involved in crafting too. I know that when I was younger, I loved everything personalised with my name on it; so this could be a lot more affordable way to do that. The site is a great resource so get searching and see what you can find.

This is a sponsored post with Design Bundles, but all opinions are my own.

You can see more of what i’m loving, and what i’m doing, over on my Instagram.

Some PR samples — My first post for the #sundays Some PR samples — My first post for the #sundaysix hashtag (# created by @bekah_sun)! This week I’ve got some new beauty & fragrance finds, as well as a TV show and a cosy knit.
💗
I’ve been loving the new @givenchybeauty fragrance Irresistible which came into my life last week. It’s rose-based (of course it is) and is also light and fruity. The perfect spring scent to put a pep in your step.  Last month I discovered a real hair hero (L’Oreal Wonder Water I love ya) & this week I’ve found this new release from @erborian_uk for skin. It’s a miracle worker. I can’t even describe what it does, but you NEED it! It’s a non-tinted, silicone-free bare skin perfector. It’s a thick, lush, silky cream that plumps & hydrates, blurs & illuminates with Korean White Ginseng complex & retexturizing enzymes for a visible "new skin" effect.  It’s heavenly and a Skinfluencer’s dream!  The @sundayrileyeurope ICE Ceramide Cream is every bit as good as I wanted it to be. It’s not nearly as thick as Dr Jart Ceramidin but it feels just as moisturising, strengthening and protective. If you need that deep moisturising power but want a lighter texture, this is for you, for plump and supple skin.  I’ve been loving the new @fentyskin Flash Nap Eye Gel-Cream & cooling tool. It’s light and hydrating, and really wakens up & smoothes my eye area in the morning. It feels so nice to use these both together - a tiny moment of self-care.  Years & years ago I watched the first 2 seasons of How to Get Away With Murder with my Mum, but gave up as I couldn’t fully get into it. I tried again with David and we’re just finishing season 6 (the last) this week. We were hooked from the start and have binged it over a month. It’s a gripping box set if you like US crime thrillers like PLL or Scandal. Available on Netflix!  Lastly, I do love a cream knit but I found this one at @simplybeuk that has a pop of neon yellow on the sleeve. It really brightens my day. It’s the small things at the moment!  #fentyskin #sundayriley #givenchybeauty #givenchyfragrance #erborian #skinfirst #bareskin #glowglowingskincare #healthyglowingskinforlife #skincareaddicts #skincareaddicted #skincarejunkies #skincareobsessed
PR samples — It’s #friyayfaves (# by @the__glo PR samples — It’s #friyayfaves (# by @the__glow__girl) I got a lovely selection of products to try from @glowrecipe recently, so I’ve now got a little Glow Recipe collection!
💗
This week I’ve been LOVING the new Niacinamide Dew Drops - heavenly glow, contains my hero ingredient Niacinamide & lovely hydration. Recommend as last step in skincare, before makeup or instead of makeup. 
🙌🏻
Also been loving the Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask. It’s been nice to add a dedicated PM eye product to my evening routine & my under-eye area is smooth & rested when I wake up.

PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is t PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is the brilliant new scalp treatment from @tresemmeuk - you get hair posts 2 days in a row! The Tresemme Purify & Hydrate Exfoliating Pre Shampoo Scrub is currently half price in Superdrug for just £3.02!
💆🏻‍♀️
This scrub is helping my hair to last longer between washes as my problem is that my roots get greasy fairly quickly. It does take a while to rinse out, but it’s worth that extra effort. The exfoliant is coconut shells! It also has menthol in it which is really refreshing & awakening in the morning.
💆🏻‍♀️
Adding this into my routine before a hydrating shampoo really deeply cleans my roots and stops them getting oily so fast, meaning that my roots and ends progress at the same dirtiness pace!

PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this pro PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this product over the last couple of weeks & it’s for good reason. It very much is, indeed, a miracle. In just 8 seconds, as your conditioner, this will give you the smoothest, sleekest, softest hair you’ve ever had. I’ve just ordered 2 more bottles.
🙌🏻
The L’Oreal Dream Lengths 8-Second Wonder Water is £9.99 and you’ll get no more than 10 applications per bottle, but it sure is ‘worth it’. Wonder Water is a breakthrough damaged hair treatment, in a rinse-out liquid conditioner formula that’s powered by Lamellar Water Technology. Moisturising agents and amino acids target dry, damaged areas of hair, forming thin layers called Lamella to smooth hair’s surface instantly transforming lengths for silkier, shinier and healthier-looking hair. 
🙌🏻
I’m honestly not sure I’ll ever use another conditioner again. You need it, go buy it. Now, now, now!

In February’s box you get 4 full-size luxury skincare products (worth £212) for just £70! We all need some self-care time at the moment & that’s the theme of this month’s box!

The Oskia Renaissance Mask is a cult favourite & I’ve loved it for years. It’s a thick lush balm that you lather on your face, leaving it for 20 mins to do it’s amazing exfoliation & radiance-boosting work. The Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum brightens, boosts skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of lines and hydrates the skin too. The Aromatherapy Associates Rose Bath & Shower Oil is a heavenly treat. I apply it around my shoulders and chest, breathing  in the calming aroma, before getting into the shower. Finally, Prismologie’s Rose Quartz & Rose Balm soothes your mind and nourishes the skin on your body. It leaves you with a little bit of lustre too 💫
