I did my Princess/Prince invitations on the computer. I used glossy gold paper and wrote, Hear Ye! hear Ye! By the order of the King and Queen Princess (I put the guests name here to personalize) is cordially invited to the (my last name) Castle to celebrate Princess (my daughters name here) 5th Birthday! The Royal Celebration will begin with a Feast at Half Past Twelve in the Afternoon on the Twentieth of August Two Thousand Five (The Queen asks that you come dressed in your favorite princess attire). Please return the attached reply card on or before the First of August. I mailed my invitations in gold mailing tubes and addressed each one to the child and mother (i.e. Princess Susan Smith and Queen Heather). This made sure that each mother knew they were invited and didnt drive off. I also put in map quest directions to eliminate alot of phone calls. I had so many post card stamps left over from my vacation that I included a postcard reply card in the tube (I bought the Avery Post Cards and made them myself). I provided a self addressed stamp for each child with their name typed in the return address to elimate confusion with the cards were returned to my address.
