Simple Mother’s Day Brunch invitations using paper napkins instead of expensive scrapbook or specialty papers.

I sent out the invitations to our annual Mother’s Day Brunch over the weekend.  They were super simple to make, and I used paper napkins to make them.  These easy DIY invitations took less than 10 minutes to make.

Please excuse the iPhone photos.  This was such a quick and easy project that I didn’t even bother to get out the “big” camera!

I usually don’t know the theme or color scheme for our annual Mother’s Day Brunch until I make the invitations.  A few weeks ago when I was shopping at Roger’s Gardens with a friend, we spied these beachy paper napkins.  I have other craft ideas for them, but in the meantime, they were the jumping off point for my brunch.

You can treat them just like regular paper.

I used my paper cutter to trim them to the size I wanted, and then simply pulled off the printed top ply of the napkin and glued it to the card stock base.  Everything else is a matter of folding and gluing.  Easy.

You can click here to get measurements and see how these were constructed.  They are exactly the same as the ones I made for our Halloween party.

The only difference is that I simply tied twine around the invitations instead of doing ribbons and embellishments.

See?  Quick and easy.
