Use the same process when staining the envelopes. They will get wrinkly, but don’t worry – there is a way to fix this (see next step). I stained my invitations twice to make the paper darker. They can air-dry, but if you’re in a hurry, then using a hairdryer works just as well. I recommend replacing them in between each or every other round of staining.Īfter waiting about 20-30 minutes, I poured out the tea and set the papers on the cooling racks. The tea bags are reusable, but only for one more round.

However, I found that the papers will dry with lines on them if I put them directly on the rack, so I recommend placing a few paper towels down for the paper to rest on. I used cookie cooling racks to let them air-dry. While they are sitting, prepare the drying station. Do not try to stain all your papers at once – if there are too many, then they won’t be fully submerged and won’t stain as nicely. One by one, I placed my invitations in the tea and gently pressed them down with the spoon until they were fully submerged. After letting it steep and stirring it with a spoon, I poured the tea into a large baking pan. I boiled water in a kettle and poured the water into a deep, glass dish holding five tea bags in it. Step 2: After I had my invitations printed out, it was time to stain them. I also found a black-and-white free image of the Hogwarts crest, downloaded it, and sized it to fit at the top of the letter. If you are unable to download it, there is an “example text” box that you can plug your lines into and then take a screenshot to paste into your document. Bedfort” were already on Google Docs, but I was able to find “Aquiline Two” on. I used three types of fonts while making the letters: “Eagle Lake” for the headers, “Aquiline Two” for the body, and “Mr. Once you have the contents of the letter just right, it’s time to move on to the style. For example, the very first line of this invitation is, “We are pleased to inform you that you have been invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the celebration of Morgan’s 18th birthday.” Be sure to also include the date and time of the party, the location of the party, and if you’d like, some general activities that will be going on at the party. To make this invitation perfect, you also have to get the wording right. Step 1: Write up your invitations! There’s more to a Hogwarts acceptance letter than just the fancy font and style. A metal stamp (I used a metal necklace with grooves in it – this works just as well).Here’s a helpful DIY on how to make the perfect invitation. Much like a novel’s “hook” sentence or review, a party’s “hook” is the invitation. There are many moving parts when it comes to preparing for a party, but personally, I feel like the invitations are the most important.
