YOU’RE INVITED…

A BEAUTIFUL INVITATION IS A VERY PERSUASIVE THING. YOU ARE SO CAPTIVATED BY ITS CHARM AND FLATTERED BY ITS QUALITY, YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY SAY NO

It’s the invitation to an event that sets the overall tone from the outset. If it’s a formal event, choose a formal invitation. If it’s a creative event, you can lash out and make the invitation unique.

In a world of fantastic apps and software, what is the best way to send out invitations these days?

A lot of businesses are creating interest with amusing animated apps or software that is easy to email and track. Invitations slip out of envelopes and unfurl in front of you – it’s mesmerising! Just don’t send these too often or you dampen the effect.

Other businesses swear by online booking agencies, which are superefficient at tracking RSVPS. They’re great for big events, especially when you’re asking for payment. But they are a little impersonal and easy to ignore.

So where does this leave paper invitations?

Nothing compares to a beautiful invitation on quality stock with matching envelope. It takes time, effort and expense, which makes the recipient feel like royalty. They will display that invitation in a prominent place for all to see.

Regardless of the type of invitation you send, you must ensure it is easy for your guests to RSVP and equally easy for you to gather in those replies.

Happy inviting!
