Hi all, I am in need of some software that would enable me to create customized party invitations and coordinating things like thank you cards, candy bar wrappers, etc.

People sell these things on Ebay so I know some sort of software exists for these folks to make them and sell them. We are starting a theme dressup birthday party business and I want to be able to offer this as a service included in our package.

I thought it would be easy and some company out there would have this all wrapped up in a nice little package for me to order online but I am findng NOTHING!

When I'm at a loss I turn to you fine folks who know everything. I know someone out there has to know where to go for this type of thing. HELP ME!!

Thanks in advance...

Fabnsab: I use Microsoft Word & Publisher for these type of projects when I have them. Either can be easily setup to repeat projects such as you describe using templates for the layout so all you have to do is add the text you need for different styles.

I'm sure there are some inexpensive card and banner creation software programs but I've always been able to do what I needed with these two programs.

Perhaps someone else has more experience with other programs.

Hope that helps.

I have used Printmaster Platinum since the DOS days and it has a party creator area. Its very easy to use and has lots of graphics. The latest versions even give you the option of saving to PDF to enable you to save it in a format that many people will be able to open.

I am looking for a simple checkbook program - I just need the basics... a checkbook where I can put in my deposits, debit card purchases, checks, etc, and it keeps a total for me... the same as what you would write in the actual checkbook - Which I hate doing, and put off until it takes me hours to go over all my receipts and I end up going for weeks not knowing what I have in my account. I downloaded a 30-day version of My Checkbook for Windows and it looks like what I want, I haven't started using it yet and if I do it will be $20 to buy. Anyone else use something like this or any ideas of what else I might try? Thanks

I have used Quicken in the past and it was pretty good.
