Since artist Kirra Reyna’s sweet, nostalgia-inducing invitation designs have joined the Evite party, they’re been kicking off an amazing amount of celebrations, from baby showers to birthdays to bachelorette bashes. It’s not hard to see why—just try and pick a favorite and we bet you’ll have at least 5 on your “I need to throw a party with this” list! So here’s your chance to learn more about this versatile artist in our exclusive Q&A with her.
What inspired you to become an artist?
Ever since I was young, I had a passion for creativity and the drive to hustle. My mom was always a talented painter and drawer, so I guess I got my artistic genes from her. And my dad always found a way to provide for the family while still enjoying his career, which inspired me to do the same. I knew back then that I wanted a career that would let me be creative and do what I loved. I'm lucky enough to have made that dream come true thanks to my parents' support. I'll always be grateful for them letting me express my creativity from a young age.
Which three words describe your design aesthetic?
Colorful, nostalgic, playful.
What inspires your work?
Traveling, vintage signs and fonts, trendy patterns and prints.
When you have a creative block, what pulls you out of it?
It is all about a work/life balance, which I am still learning to navigate at times. To get out of a creative block, it usually helps to take a break from my computer and do something just for me. Sometimes I'll go to a yoga class or take a walk to the park with my kids. It's amazing how refreshed and energized I feel when I get back to my desk to continue working.
What is your proudest moment as an artist?
I have to say that quitting my 9-to-5 job and starting my own business at the age of 23 was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've had the chance to travel and work for months at a time which has been life-changing. Plus, I can work from home and spend more time with my two boys, which is super important to me.
What's the most memorable party you've ever been to?
San Diego had its first-ever hurricane warning the other day, and my friend had planned her daughter's birthday party on that exact day. I thought for sure she would cancel, but guess what? She didn't! She invited about 20 kids inside and managed to pull off an amazing party. She even got a face painter and balloon person at the last minute. The whole theme was based on my “Let’s Shellabrate” invite. I love designing invites for my friends and then attending the party to see how it all turns out!
What advice would you give to an aspiring creator?
I've been running my own creative business for almost 10 years now, and one thing I've learned is that you need to dream big but also stay grounded in the business side of things if you want to make it as an artist or creator. I know it's not always easy for creative types, but it's super important if you want to stay in the game long-term.
Is there a mantra that you follow when you work?
Power moves. This is more of my mantra for life and work. Each year, my husband and I set goals and just go for it. It keeps life interesting and feels great when we accomplish them together.
You create designs for all occasions, including bridal showers. Are there any themes that you see becoming especially popular for 2024?
Lately, I've been really into those wavy, hand-drawn, organic shapes that seem to be popping up everywhere. I've seen them in home decor, clothing, and even invitations. I can definitely see those becoming more popular throughout 2024.
What excites you the most about collaborating with Evite?
I'm really excited to share my invitation designs with Evite's community and be a part of even more celebrations! Invitations are usually the first step in planning an event, and it's amazing to think that someone might choose my design to announce their wedding, birthday, or another special occasion. It's why I love this job so much!

What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
