Retro School Portrait Laser Background and Party Invitations

Back in the 80's every kid wanted the cool laser background on their school photos.  If you're planning an 80's theme party or planning a birthday or anniversary party for someone who was either born in the 80's or got married back then, we've got THE best invitation for you!

You can customize every word and number both on the  front and on the back of these fun 5" x 7" party invitations.

​The front of the design features fun laser look lines going across diagonally and you personalize it by uploading a photo of the birthday "child" or the happy anniversary couple.

​The back exclaims that it's party time, has all of your personalized party information and has a couple of cassette tapes and a burst of brightly colored stars at the bottom.

​These come complete with a white envelope.

​They look great when you use a retro laser background photo of the birthday boy or girl but if you don't have an original from the eighties, or if you're planning to use these invites for an anniversary party, you can purchase a poster print of that famous laser beam backdrop and create a new photo to use.

  • 45 lb., 7.5 point thick poster paper
  • Matte finish with a smooth surface
  • Economical option that delivers sharp, clean images with stunning color and vibrancy
This great retro poster print works great to take photos during the party too!  Use it like a photo booth and get everyone to snap a pic in front of it. 
And Zazzle has lots of other cool stuff featuring this fun 80's photo background design!
​
​You'll find a tie, watch, or a bandana to wear in the photo.  There's cookies and trays that would be fun at the party.  There's also cell phone covers, clocks, postage stamps, blankets and more.
