You Are Invited!

Make a party invitation using everything you have learned.

  1. Step 1: Open your page

    Open the page. If you use Google Docs, press Make a copy.

    Your page opens in a new tab. Keep this page open too, so you can come back and read the jobs.

  2. Step 2: Do your jobs

    Make an invitation to a party. Fill in each line, center everything, and make it fancy!

    1. Click at the end of each line and type: who it is for, what the party is, when, where and who it is from.
    2. Select everything with Ctrl and A. Click the Center button so it sits in the middle of the page.
    3. Make You Are Invited big, bold and colorful.
    4. Pick a fun font for the whole invitation.
    The toolbar buttons: font, size, bold, slanted, underline, color, highlight, center and bullets.
    Look for these buttons at the top of your page.
  3. Step 3: Bonus jobs

    Finished early? Try these!

    • Make each line a different color.
    • Add a picture of a balloon or a cake from Insert, then Image. Ask a grown-up to help you pick one.
  4. Step 4: Show your work

    Read your page one more time. Then show it to your teacher or a grown-up, or print it.
