Quick Forms calendars
These calendars are just some of the pages you can print out at the touch of a button with the Quick Forms feature, available on several HP All-in-Ones.

Invite your guests

Pickle Bird birthday party invitations
A photo of your sweetie, along with the enthusiasm of Pickle Bird, will make any party irresistible!
Hot Momma baby shower invites
A baby shower is a perfect occasion for DIY style—the kind you’ll display by sending editable Hot Momma baby shower invitations. Manual duplexing makes them look straight-from-the-print-shop perfect.
You can save money by printing invitations yourself rather than ordering them from a print shop. Free templates from the HP Creative Studio also help you avoid the tedium and writer’s cramp of hand-writing on store-bought invitations.

    Use the right printer for photo invites
    An HP Photosmart printer or All-in-One that can print lab-quality photos (and so much more), is a great choice for adorable Pickle Bird birthday invitations, which allow you to upload and include a photo of the birthday child.

    There are also several HP Officejet Printers and All-in-Ones with a talent for printing photos, including the ability to print directly from memory cards. The HP Officejet 6500 Wireless All-in-One scans, copies, faxes, and prints in brilliant color to help your entire family get work done with ease when the invitations are sent out.

    Tips to get a store-bought look
    Double-sided printing makes your invitations look professional. Many HP printers offer driver support for manual duplexing (necessary with the heavy paper used to create quality invitations, even on printers that feature automatic duplexing).

    Use HP photo paper and Original HP ink, which are designed to work in tandem to deliver the most vivid and long lasting results.

From fairy garlands to puppy posters, Christmas tree ornaments to 3-D dreidels, the HP Creative Studio has decorations to keep you—and your party space—covered when you’re entertaining.

    Print double-sided
    Automatic double-sided printing is especially useful for decorations, which don’t always require the same heavy papers as invitations.

    For your poster pup (or person)
    • Give your dog its day with the Dog paw-ty kit, available from the HP Creative Studio. The kit includes doggie bags, tags, and a fun poster decoration. To help you put it together, get tips to Create poster-size prints.


    • The HP Photosmart D7560 printer is especially equipped to create poster-size prints, print directly on CDs and DVDs, and create lab-quality photos with the help of a generous 3.5" touchscreen.


    Let your décor do double duty
    Many of the decorations featured at the HP Creative Studio also make terrific party favors when the celebrating is over. Try enclosing gift cards in the pictured gift box ornaments, and handing them to guests as they depart.

This All-occasion photo card gives you space for your own words, plus a picture worth a thousand more.
If you always have a pack of HP Brochure and Flyer Paper and the link to the HP Creative Studio, you always have the perfect thank you note, too. See just some of the free templates available for you to choose from:

    After the party
    Send an exquisite thank-you to a guest who brought something unexpected, or to someone who’s hosted you at their home with the Enchanted lantern ½ fold thank you card.

    From a child
    For busy bees of all ages, the Busy bees ½ fold thank you card is a great way to send a buzz of thanks. This card features enough space for non-writers to scribble or draw their gratitude next to your printed words.

    Any occasion, any recipient
    When only you know the right words to say, use this All-occasion photo card with editable text and the option to upload a photo. Use the glossy version of HP Brochure and Flyer Paper, especially coated for two-sided printing, to make your photo pop.

Several HP printers, including the HP Photosmart D7560 printer and the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One, feature the ability to print directly onto discs designed especially for inkjet printers, which can make this gift truly unforgettable.
