With the holidays coming, it’s reasonable to be anxious about getting all of your friends and family in one place. After all, you don’t want to offend anyone by leaving them out of your holiday festivities!
By now, you have probably arranged your plans for Thanksgiving. If not, then there is still some time left! With the holidays coming, it’s reasonable to be anxious about getting all of your friends and family in one place. After all, you don’t want to offend anyone by leaving them out of your holiday festivities! But sometimes, creating the perfect invitation is trickier than it sounds.
Consider Digital Invitations
Paper invitations are still classy ways to reach out to your desired guests, but it can seem a little old-fashioned. That’s why digital messages are a phenomenal idea for when you are finalizing your holiday festivities. Still, it comes down to how you are going to mark the occasion – a Friendsgiving can be simple to organize through social media, but if you want to have the wedding of the decade, then you might want to use more elegant paper products instead.
Don’t Be Too Casual
In that same vein, think about your intended audience. Try to find a balance between the chatty tone of rapid-fire text messaging and the elevated, potentially pretentious language that could be out of place. Paperless invitations are going to be much more fun in design and purpose, as opposed to paper invitations and materials such as an RSVP card or a save-the-date notification.
Provide Plenty of Info
Then there is the question of how much information you should include. Digital invitations for your holiday party can make answering a variety of relevant issues a snap.
For instance, you can add links for maps to the physical address, along with a gift registry or a website to complete the RSVP list and make foodservice requests, such as vegetarian or vegan options. Smartphones have made many things much easier to deal with when planning a special occasion, and confirmation emails are much easier to track and respond to than ever before.
Rely on Your Contacts List
Lastly, be sure to depend on your contacts list. The Rolodex of the past has been reborn. It’s now a directory on your phone or your collection of social media friends, followers, and acquaintances. Curating the guest list may be your best bet, especially if you are hoping for a more intimate affair as opposed to a big bash worthy of a New Year’s Eve party. Every shindig is a complex organism, and not all holiday festivities are the same.
