How to Create an Effective and Attractive Party Invitation
Invitations set the tone for any event, and can also have an effect on the turnout. The design, color theme, font style, paper texture, and wording can all give guests a hint about what the special event holds in store, so make sure your guests know that yours is a party not to be missed!
Create the perfect first impression for your special occasion by considering the following invitation tips:
The Right Invite for the Right Occasion
While nearly all types of invitations include the basics such as the event name, location, time, and RSVP details, the format of wedding invites will vary greatly from those used for your son’s first birthday party. For example, as Here Comes the Guide notes, a wedding invitation usually includes the invitation, a reception card, a response card, a card with directions and other important tidbits of info, along with an inner and outer envelope. For a child’s birthday party, a simple, colorful postcard that includes all of the details will suffice.
Determine the important details that your guests will need to know, and use that information to select the right template and style for your invite.
Invitation Basics and Nuances
To help make sure your invitation will be answered, be sure it includes all of the information that guests will need to RSVP quickly and easily. Make sure the host's name and phone number and/or email address are clearly listed, along with a date, if applicable.
Carefully choose your wording to convey if your event will be a formal or casual event. In the case of a wedding, state in the invitation if the reception will include a sit-down dinner with a Champagne toast, or a backyard barbecue with baby back ribs and all the fixings.
Since gifts are inherently part of many events like weddings and birthday parties, specify “no gifts” if the honorees do not wish to receive presents.
While bridal and baby shower invites can include registry information, the rules of etiquette say it is not appropriate to add this to wedding invitations.
Designing the Invitation
Although you can custom order invitations or pick up pre-printed invitations at office supply stores, it can be fun and more personal to create your own. PS Print offers free party invitation templates that are pre-formatted for size, resolution, and color.
Find inspiration for color themes and graphics using a stock photography site like Shutterstock, loaded with a variety of images that can be used to create your special eye-catching design.
Print your custom creations at home or use a local printing service.
Consider Digital Invitations
If you're on a tight budget, digital invitations are an easy and inexpensive way to get the word out about your event. Use a site like Sendo Invitations to customize your invitations, selecting the theme, wording, and style. Digital invitations are now acceptable for formal occasions and casual affairs such as barbecues, housewarmings, baby shower celebrations, and more. As a bonus, collecting RSVPs is a breeze with digital invitations since guests can reply on the spot with one simple click.
