How to Write a Perfect Party Invitation, Part 2
We continue with the useful tips on how to write a great party invitation. There is no need to keep the invitation concise. The more details you include, the better the guests can prepare for your event.
- The “RSVP”
The main goal of an invitation for the host is to get the RSVP. This information is vital for the party preparations, so you have to be 100 % clear about the RSVP requirements. Make sure to ask for a reply and provide the guests with various options to do it. Mention your phone number and email address.
- The “+1”
In the invitation, let your guests know if they are allowed to bring another guest with them. This is a good idea for parties where some guests don’t know each other and bringing a companion can make the conversation flow more smoothly.
Also, make sure to mention if the guests can bring children with them. Since children require a different type of entertainment, you don’t want to be faced with a bunch of bored kindergarteners unprepared.
- The “How”
If you are planning a theme party or thinking about a certain contest, you need to let the guests know about it. Be as specific as you can about the subject and what you expect the guests to contribute. The same goes for situations when you expect the guests to bring certain food or arrive earlier to help with the preparations.
- The “Why”
Promoting your party is a great way to get the guests in the right mood. Think about a teaser that can make them excited about going to the party. Whatever interesting activities you have planned for the event, give a little hint to the guests in the invitation. This way, they can look forward to the party.
