The weather outside is frightful. Invite your guests indoors to get tipsy and toasty with custom winter party invitations perfect for every bit of entertaining you’ll do during the holiday season. Take a little inspiration from the great outdoors (even as you escape it by the fire) with designs featuring a bit of winter greenery. Whether you’re decking the halls with boughs of holly, sugar pine, or a spray of mistletoe, you can choose an invitation that’s a natural accompaniment to any festivities you have in the works. If you’d prefer to keep every part of the party cozy, send an invitation that’s warmly homespun with designs that recall wool tartan or perhaps something a bit louder—for an ugly sweater party, perhaps. Those who go for natty winter dress codes can find invitations from leading designers and entertainers. Whether your taste tends towards The Indigo Bunting’s smartly mod designs or Kelly Wearstler’s raw refinement, you’ll find winter entertaining invitations with a flourish fit for your festivities.

The online design tool makes it easy to personalize your invitation, no matter how you’ve chosen to shake off the holiday chill. Change the fonts or add a festive backdrop to your online invitation to set the chilly scene. Once every last detail is in place, put together your guest list from the names in the online address book—you can import contacts from your own email, should you be missing any planned invitees. If you’re hosting a winter gala, paper invitations might be the first item on your assuredly long checklist. Not to worry—many of our designs are available as printed invitations. Order them along with pre-addressed envelopes for a truly white-glove party-planning experience. When the night’s over and the last sleigh has left the valet station, post some of your party photos to the event photo gallery. Your guests wouldn’t want to waste all that gay apparel.
