Designing, creating and printing homemade tickets for an event gives the invitation a personal touch. Homemade tickets are ideal for birthdays, weddings and company events. Tickets either can be made and printed at home using a computer and printer. Or, you can designed professional-looking tickets and print them through an online ticket distributor such as Ticketmaster.

Homemade Printed Tickets

Design the homemade tickets on the computer. Decide which colors and pictures will be featured on the tickets.

Type the relevant information on the tickets, including venue, time, directions, foods, games, RSVP date and contact information, using a computer. This can be done in simple programs, such as Microsoft Word or Notepad.

Put finishing touches on the ticket before it is printed by choosing specific fonts and colors. Write all of the information on the ticket on one side, so the ticket can be ripped in half upon event entry.

Turn on the printer and insert printable tickets into the printer feed, which can be found at most paper supply stores.

Print the number of tickets needed for the event.
