There are different dimensions for invitation card such as 3.5 x 5 inches (RSVP card), 5.25 x 5.25 inches (square invitation), and 4.25 x 5.5 inches (response card) etc.
2.    Choose colour: Colour plays a big role in invitation cards. Choose colours that match well with the event. Colour is an important aspect of designing invitation cards. It creates a sense of emotion and sets a tone.
3.    Clarity: Don't forget about font visibility for those who will be reading it. Keep in mind that everything is readable and the information for the invitation is clear. Make the information short and crisp so the invitation card stands out. Don’t use too much text as it can make the information unclear. Keep it simple.
4.    Look for the best template: Specify the occasion for which the invitation is being sent to narrow down your search. Add keywords that relate to your theme, color motif, mood, and style to the invitation template that best suits your needs.
5.    Text and images can be added: Add text and images or illustrations to make the invitation card quirky! Images will give a personal touch to your invitation card.
6.    Play Around With Templates: Starting with a predesigned invitation template is a simple way to get started with your design. They're especially useful if you're not used to designing invitations or if you're in a hurry. Choose templates that match your event. Try experimenting with new templates, but don’t overdo it.

7.    Define a colour scheme: A colour scheme unifies all design elements and establishes the tone of your invitation. The colour scheme determines more than just the appearance of the invitation; it also determines the nature of the invitation. For instance, vibrant palettes are appropriate for birthday invitations, whereas more subdued palettes are appropriate for wedding invitations.
8.    Select fonts: Don't go overboard with fonts. Because typography plays such an important role in communicating event details, it's critical to stick to a small number of fonts that capture the essence of the invitation. To keep things legible in any design, stick to three or fewer fonts.
9.    Don’t crowd your card: It's crucial not to overcrowd the design elements when making your own invitations. Negative space is a key design concept that allows the viewer to take in all aspects of the invitation without feeling overwhelmed. Don't be afraid to leave some white space between your text and images.
10.    Make sure all the details are correct: An invitation is more than just a piece of paper. Don’t forget to add all the important details to the invitation card. Remember why you're making the invitation in the first place as you go through the design process.
