Creating and Sending Christmas And Holiday Party Invites

Christmas is right around the corner and this is obviously the right time to start planning a holiday party. For most of us, Christmas is that time when we get to bring together our family and friends to celebrate and make merry. Part of planning for a Christmas celebration includes creating and sending holiday party invites. While this might seem like an easy task, it may become overwhelming especially if you have no idea of where to start.  You need the best tips to ensure you are on the right track.  For that reason, we have provided some very useful tips on how to create and send Christmas holiday party invites.

Creating Christmas And Holiday Party Invites

The first step should be creating outstanding holiday party invites. But how do you go about it? Well, there are several ideas that can help you come up with something out of the ordinary. Remember, Christmas is all about festivities and your invites should portray just that. Here is what you need to know when creating and sending your holiday party invites;

Consider Photo Card

Holiday photo cards are something almost everyone is doing nowadays. Hence, there is no reason for you to be left behind the pack. A Christmas party invite is one of those things you get to do only once in a year and so you might as well do it right. Do you want a personalized invite? Then a holiday photo card is your best choice.  You can make them stylish and unique by including the theme of the party. This will give people an idea of what they should expect. Furthermore, ensure your holiday photo cards are made of your favorite photos and memories throughout the year.  You can even include some of the photos you took with friends and family.

Don’t Be Boring

What does your invitation portray to the guests?  Does it shout, ‘ I will not miss this party for anything in the world, it sounds marvelous’ or did you create an invite that looks like a piece of paper with a boring grocery list on it that will instantly be sent to the holiday pile and probably forgotten?  What I mean is that I don’t think you want your guest to dismiss your party simply by the look of the invites you have sent them.  Send out custom made holiday party invitations that give the guests a sneak peek of how fabulous the party will be and that they shouldn’t miss the event.

Use RSV

Nobody likes being uncertain especially when it comes to planning a party. So many things can go wrong if you are not careful. That’s why having a clear head count is critical to planning the best holiday party of the season. It will help you know the required quantity of food and drinks so that you don’t end up with an overload or less.  With that said, choose your RSVPs carefully.  It can be a formal card that is mailed back to you, an email address the guests can reply to or a phone number to call.

Decide On The Guest List

There is no party without a guest list. This means that you should decide on a guest list early enough and then set a time and date that will be more convenient for all. You might plan a Christmas party only to find out later that one of your siblings will be out of town on that day. Well, to say the least it will be a disaster especially if the intention was to bring the whole family together. For that reason, ensure there are no conflicting parties and events.

What Is The Theme Of The Party?

Most parties usually have a theme. For instance, you can have a party color and buy all decorations in that particular color or ask the guests to dress the party color. Also pick the food and beverages that will be served in accordance with the theme of the party. The costumes, lighting and music should conform to the theme.

Sending The Invitations

It’s vitally important that you send the Christmas party invitations as early as you possibly can. This will give the guests enough time to clear their schedules and avail themselves for the party. Doing this will actually ensure a great turnout.
