Christmas Party Invitation Templates to Edit and Print
A good Christmas party invitation answers the basics at a glance: when, where, what kind of party and how to RSVP. These Christmas invitation templates are editable in Canva, so you can change every line of text and every color to fit your event. You get an instant download after purchase, a PDF with your Canva link, and nothing is shipped.
There are four designs, each sized 5x7 to fit a standard invitation envelope. They cover a classic party, a casual holiday get-together, a Christmas dinner or kids party, and a more elegant evening.
Four designs, four kinds of party
Each design sets a different tone, so start with the feel of your party and pick from there.
- Watercolor Tree: a painted Christmas tree for a traditional party, office celebration or open house.
- Christmas Corgi: a playful holiday party invitation for friends, cookie swaps and ugly sweater nights.
- Gingerbread: a Christmas dinner invitation that also fits a cookie decorating party or a kids Christmas party.
- Greenery and Pinecones: evergreen branches for a formal dinner or holiday cocktail evening.
What to write on a Christmas party invitation
Start with the host name and the type of gathering, then the date, start and end time, and the full address. Add anything guests need to plan around: a dress code, a gift exchange limit, a dish to bring or whether kids are welcome. Finish with an RSVP name and a reply-by date. Keeping the wording short leaves the design room to breathe, especially on the watercolor tree and pinecone layouts.
Print at home or send it digitally
Edit the template in Canva with a free account, then download a print-ready PDF for your home printer or a print shop. Cardstock around 80 to 110 lb feels substantial and still feeds through most printers. If some guests are easier to reach by phone, export the same design as a JPG and send it by text or email. Our how to print guide covers paper and printer settings.
Christmas invitations questions
When should Christmas party invitations go out?
Send them three to four weeks before the party. December fills up fast, so earlier is safer for parties in the first two weeks of the month.
Which design works for a kids Christmas party?
The gingerbread invitation is the best fit, since the cookie theme pairs naturally with a decorating activity. The Christmas corgi also works well for younger guests.
Can I change "holiday party" to "Christmas party" on the corgi design?
Yes. All text is editable in Canva, so you can use whichever wording suits your guests.
Is there a matching Christmas card?
There is a gingerbread and sweets design in our printable Christmas cards collection that sits nicely next to the gingerbread invitation. You can browse everything seasonal in Christmas printables.
Can I try Canva editing before I buy?
Yes, there is a free sample template you can open to see how editing works.
What size are the Christmas invitations?
All four designs are 5x7, a standard invitation size that fits A7 envelopes.
