Invitations and Announcements

Spread the word about your upcoming event with a printed announcement. Personalized announcements are classy, elegant, making your friends and family members feel like exclusive guests. So, add engagement photos, an ultrasound photo, or a photo of whoever is celebrating the event. In addition, include the date and address so your guests know when to arrive. Event announcements aren't just a formality but souvenirs your guests will save to remember the occasion.

Why Should You Send Printed Invitations?

In today's social media-centric world, it might seem easier to post an event on Facebook and invite everyone you know. However, wedding invitations need that personalized touch that's not possible through social media notifications. So let's look at why it's a great idea to send personal invitations:

• Customizing invitations with photos, illustrations, and graphic design elements will give your announcement an artistic flair.

• Guests will feel as if they've been invited to an exclusive event, making them more likely to appear.

• You'll give your guests and yourself a souvenir to treasure for decades.

• When hosting a business event, invitations make a good impression and show professionalism.

• Sending personal invitations versus social media will decrease the risk of unwanted guests.

• Personal invitations give guests a physical reminder to hang on the fridge or their wall calendar.

• Sending invitations when throwing a party for a friend, child, or relative will make them feel extra special.

• Invitations show that the event is important to you and that you value the person receiving the invitation.

Printed invitations are available for any occasion, even lesser-known events like a job anniversary or a pet's birthday. Setting the tone with an invitation results in a larger turnout, possibly leading to more gifts or fundraising contributions.

What Should You Include in Your Invitation?

The information contained in an invitation may vary depending on the event. For private functions such as weddings anniversaries and graduations, basic information like the date, time, address, and name of the person (or people) you're celebrating should be listed on the invitation. In addition, include a photo or two to capture the moment. A title helps invitees know exactly what they're celebrating. If you want people to RSVP first, mention this and include your phone number and email address.

For business events, include the date, time, address, and name of your event. List information about your event, be it a concert, convention, business meeting, or trade show. Add your company's name and branding so your guests know this event is relevant to them. Adding photos or illustrations make the invitation more eye-catching. If you're hosting a fundraiser, your invitation could be used to give guests more information about the cause they'll support by attending.

How Many Event Announcements Should You Order?

First, decide how many people to invite. Then, round that number up and order extras for those you forgot to include. Some invitations could be lost in the mail, so it's important to have a few backups. In addition, you'll what a few copies for your scrapbook.
