Benefits of designing cocktail party invitations with Paperless Post
You want the run-up to your party to be as straightforward as the invitation design process. The benefit of creating a cocktail party invitation through Paperless Post for your next get-together or business event is that you’ll gain access to our seamless follow-up tools, too. Easily keep your headcount in check with our RSVP tracker, and use our guest messaging tool to communicate important updates and send reminders to your guest list.
How far in advance do you send an online cocktail party invitation?
Three to four weeks ahead of the event is the sweet spot for sending your party invitations. Any earlier, and you run the risk of guests losing excitement—any later, and your guests may already have other plans. The only exception to this rule of thumb is during the busy holiday season—send invitations up to six weeks beforehand if your party falls in December. Thankfully, there are no delays with an online invitation, so you don’t need to account for post office lines—or running out of stamps.
What information should you include in a cocktail party invite?
You've made the final decision regarding your invitation design, and now you’re wondering what information to include. The answer is, it depends—here are a few things to keep in mind when you’re filling out any cocktail party invitation::
- Be clear about your party's date, time, and location.
- Give your guests an idea of what to expect. Will there be hors d'oeuvres? A full buffet? Will they need to dress up, or can they come in casual attire?
- If you have any special instructions for your guests, such as an RSVP deadline or specific directions to your venue, be sure to include them. You want to make sure everyone finds their way to the party!
Cocktail party decorations and supplies
The devil is in the details when throwing a successful cocktail soiree. The finer points go a long way toward setting the tone for your event and creating a space your guests will remember for all the right reasons. You've seen what we have to offer in the invitation department, so head to Paperless Post Party Shop for all the party decor you need, from banners and balloons to platters and centerpieces. Whether you’re creating a bellini beach bash or becoming a happy hour host—we have everything you need for an extra-festive atmosphere—just add cocktails!
An invitation is so much more than simply requesting someone's presence. A well-done invite will showcase the theme of the event, provide necessary information for guests, and build anticipation for the exciting get-together that’s on the horizon. With Paperless Post’s online invitations, you can take advantage of our digital guest management system that makes tracking RSVPs and communicating with guests a breeze.
How do I ask guests to RSVP to my event?
When sending a traditional invitation by mail, asking guests to RSVP isn’t always a super slick process. You’ll need to scrounge up stamps, envelopes, and a working pen in addition to venturing out to a mailbox or post office. Our online invitations with RSVP tracking change all of that. With a choice of sending your invitations by email, text, or shareable link, guests won’t have to look for alternative ways to contact you—they can open up their online invitation and respond immediately with a simple click. If your guests get busy and forget to reply, simply send them a friendly reminder with a broadcast or private message. The process is easy to get started, too—sync your contacts to our system and choose who to invite.
How to customize your online invitation
We offer two types of online invitations—Cards and Flyers. Cards feature stationery-inspired designs that are already worded and ready to go. Flyers are playful, animated invites perfect for your casual events. Either option can be customized to your heart’s desire. Our sophisticated and straightforward design tools let you create a swoon-worthy invite that’s uniquely yours. Upload a favorite photo, edit your text, and change fonts and color palettes to showcase the theme of your event in a tailor-made way. With Cards, you even get to pick an envelope style and a design for its liner. We’ve made it effortless to create a memorable invitation that impresses your guests and gets them excited for the event ahead.
