Watercolor Splash Birthday Invitation Maker
The watercolor splash theme is abstract: vibrant washes of color flowing across the card, with modern brush-script lettering over the top. There are no characters or animals, so the look is open to any age and any taste.
Fill in the birthday person's name, the date and the venue. PiCraft places them on the card with the name as the largest text. The result suits a print or a message in equal measure.
This is the Watercolor splash theme of the Birthday Invitation Maker. The form on this page opens with it already selected.

Who the Watercolor splash theme suits
Creative and art parties
A painting class, a studio or a pottery workshop party fits an invitation that looks like it was painted.
Teens and young adults
Twenty-first and other milestone birthdays often call for something colorful but not childish.
Any age when you want no theme
With no characters on the card, it avoids dating the invitation to a child's current favorite show.
Getting the best Watercolor splash result
- 1
Let the color do the work
The washes bring the energy, so keep the wording simple: name, date, place. Extra lines compete with the artwork.
- 2
Use the age field for a milestone
"Turns 21" or "is 16!" sits neatly under the name and fits the modern brush lettering.
- 3
Match the party palette
Choose balloons or flowers in one or two colors from the wash and the whole party feels coordinated.
- 4
Generate a few versions
Abstract art varies the most from run to run. Make two or three and choose the palette that suits the guest of honor.
