Invitations create anticipation.
The type of invitation you choose and the way in which you deliver it sets your guests' expectations as to what kind of party to expect!

Inviting Options:
  • Telephone
    If your guest list is small, call everyone and then follow up with a written reminder. Important: Speak to each invitee directly - don't leave a voicemail message. An invitation should be as personal and direct as you can make it.

  • Printed Invitations
    Except for very formal occasions, for which engraved invitations are appropriate, printed invitations will suffice. Give yourself plenty of time, though. See a consultant at a department store or stationers at least six weeks in advance of your party.

  • "Fill-In" Invitation Cards
    Specialty paper stores carry a variety of pre-printed, "fill-in-the-blanks" invitation cards that express a wide range of entertaining styles and moods. It's an affordable yet creative alternative to printed invitations.

  • Online/E-Mail
    If everyone on your guest list has an e-mail address, this is a decidedly efficient option. You can either e-mail everyone yourself, or use an online service such as evite.com. One caution: Some people consider electronic invitations to be somewhat impersonal, so carefully consider both your guest list and the kind of party you're having.

  • Computer-Generated
    If you're proficient with a computer and printer you can create beautiful invitations with a very personal touch. Check out our printable invitations.
