DIY Disney Frozen Birthday Invitation. Create a beautiful Frozen-themed birthday invitation using your Cricut machine to imitate Elsa’s beautiful gown.
Are your kids as crazy about Frozen as mine are? Everything is Frozen over here, so naturally, my daughter requested a Frozen-themed birthday party for her 5th birthday.

DIY Disney Frozen Party Invitations
All parties start with a fun invitation. They set the stage for the party theme. Often, I create a digital invitation that I print at my local photo retailer.
But I had the perfect idea for this party—a pretty dress-shaped invitation that looked like Queen Elsa’s gown. On the inside of the card, you can customize the party details.
Supplies:
Cut and Write Disney Frozen Invitation With Cricut
I started by creating a design in Cricut Design Space. I found a dress image I liked, duplicated it, and then welded it together to create a little dress you could open up.
You can add a score line to the part where the invitation is folded before cutting. The font type I used is Goudy Trajan Regular.
Cricut Design Space File: Disney Frozen Invitation
Note: After personalizing your text in the text box, click Select All at the top, then select Attach in the layers panel for the design to print and cut correctly with the writing on the invitation. The font I used is called Goudy Trajan Regular.
This was my first time using pens with my Cricut. I was worried the font would be hard to read since it would be small, but Cricut wrote it perfectly with my blueberry Cricut pen.
I created a dress shape that would open to reveal the birthday party information inside.
After the Cricut wrote the birthday information and cut out the dresses, I added a little skirt to each one.
Attach Skirt to Front of Invitation
I roughly measured how much tulle to use, using the width of the roll and cutting it just a tiny bit longer than the length of the skirt. I purchased my glitter tulle in a small roll at Walmart, but you can also find them at most craft stores.
Use a sewing machine to gather the tulle at the top.
To gather, use the longest straight stitch you have. Do not backstitch at the beginning or end. While holding the threads on one end, gently pull one of the threads (either the top thread or the bobbin thread, not both) from the opposite end until your tulle is gathered.
Sew the gathered “skirt” onto the front of the invitation.
The Disney Frozen birthday invitations turned out even better than I initially imagined. They perfectly set the tone for the rest of our Frozen themed party!

The only part I could not understand was how to get the same front that you used! That might be the hardest part for me…choosing the right font! lol
Laura Silva says
Audra,
If you click this link: Goudy Trajan Regular you should be able to download the font and use it on your computer. Here is a link on how to use different fonts in Cricut Design Space: How to Add Text in Cricut Design Space.
Hope that helps!

Hello Laura,
I absolutely love this invitation. Can you tell me how big they are after completion? Any chance you can tell me what measurements you used in design space? I have the imagine and just upgraded to the Cricut One and it’s hard to figure out size on my new machine.
thank you so much

Hi Laura! Love these invitations! Unfortunately, the link to open the file does not work anymore. Is there another option to get there?
Laura Silva says
Katharina,
The link to open the file in Cricut Design Space is: https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/5ac4429d257c6d25076d2161. If that doesn’t work you can go to my Cricut Design Space profile and search for “Frozen Birthday Invitation” and you should see it.

Wonderful invitation! Do you have a PDF file?
Laura Silva says
Since I made these with Cricut Design Space, I don’t have a .pdf available. The design work was all done with the Cricut software.
Madison Fleming says
I have a Cricut Expression 2. Am I able to use the Cricut Design Space and pens or do you have to have the newer Cricuts?
Laura Silva says
To use Design Space you have to have a Cricut Explore. You can use pens with your Cricut Expression. You may be able to recreate something similar in Cricut Craft Room for the Expression.

Did you open a new text box for each section of writting in your invitations. ..or just one big text box and just put line spaces?! How did u line all the text up in the dress so it printed down the center evenly?! Thanks
Laura Silva says
I did one text box for the entire invitation wording. To add text to your design, click the ‘add text’ button on the left side. This will open up a text box. You will type all your wording. Simply click enter to start a new line. To center the text, you want to click ‘edit’ on the right side. It will bring up options to change the font type, size and how you want the text aligned. You simply click the box for ‘align center’. This will center all your text in your text box. Once you have the text aligned you can drag the text box over your dress outline. Then you will click ‘select all’ at the top. Under the layers tab click ‘attach’. This will keep both designs together and will print the text exactly where you need it to on the dress. Hope that helps!
