What to Do with Your Invitations

You have planned your party, chosen a venue, settled on a theme, and hired all the right people to make the event a success. The only thing that’s remaining in your party planning is to invite your friends, family, and other guests to the event.

The invitations are equally as important as the event. They can get your guests psyched up for the party or cause you to end up with tons of regrets in the mailbox or email. How should you prepare your invite cards? What should you do with them? Read on to find out.

Plan Your Invitations

Not sure what should go on your invitation cards or e-vites? An invitation is meant to inform someone about the party and invite them to attend. When writing your card, you need to include the following information:

• Names of the sponsoring organizations or individual for whom the party is being thrown.
• Type of event. Is it a birthday party, business and networking event, or office party?
• The place where the party will be held. You should also include directions for those guests who may not be familiar with the area.
• Date of the event, day of the week, time to arrive, and how long the party will last.
• Indicate whether your guests are allowed to come with a plus one and ask them to RSVP.

Incorporate the Event Theme on the Card

Your invitations should reflect the theme of your event. Use the card to showcase some of the entertainment that will be available during the party. For example, if you will be having a casino party, you can include a picture of casino gaming.

If you have a live band or DJ, you can also add this to the card. This will get your guests excited for the party and also allow them to choose appropriate attire that will allow them to take part in the entertainment comfortably.

Send Out Invitations Early

You want to give your guests adequate time to plan their schedule, get outfits, and RSVP for the event. You can’t have a black tie or masquerade party and send out the cards two weeks to the event. People will not have adequate time to prepare, and as a result, some people may fail to attend.

Make sure that invitations are sent out at least one month before the event.
