What do you include on Party Invitations?

 
     
 
  • The purpose of the invitation:  A birthday party, a wedding, a holiday open house.

  • Name of honoree (the birthday person, the mother-to-be, the bride and groom)

  • Day and Date of the party - Saturday, August 29th or if it is formal, Saturday, the twenty-nineth of August.  Look at your calendar to take sure the as in this example, the 29th of August is really on a Saturday.

  • If a formal event, include the year and spell it out (two thousand and four)

  • Time - 6:00 p.m., or for formal events, spell out the time such as six o'clock in the evening

  • Name of Place; example: Opah's Restaurant

  • Location of Place - street address, city and state if inviting out of town guests, but no zip code

  • Name of the host(s)/hostess(es) or parent(s) giving the party

  • Dress Code or appropriate attire if it is an issue with your party (do not use on formal invitations-the event should be the clue as to the appropriate attire). 

  • Proof read several times for mistakes and/or forgotten information!  Even have a friend read it to make sure it's perfect!
