Dinner Party vs. BBQ The
style of your invitation should reflect the tone of your event.
Will the party be relaxed and casual or formal and elegant? Will
it include people from different backgrounds and generations (as
in a wedding or a baby shower) or just your friends?
Your choice of imagery, typeface, colors, language,
and materials will reinforce your message. The invitations to the
left convey the elegance of a dinner party and the casual feel of
a BBQ; in each one, the written information is integrated with the
imagery.
Party Invitations You don’t
need to spend a lot of money to create interesting and fun invitations.
Recycle, reuse, and repackage for low-budget but high-style invitations.
Get ideas by looking around for materials and discovering new ways
to use them. Give new life to interesting objects, paper scraps,
old photos, containers, and packages that you might otherwise throw
away.
Wedding Invitations A wedding
invitation may need additional pieces such as a map and directions
to the event, a reply card and stamped reply envelope, bridal registry
information, or special discount rates for hotel accommodations
and airline group fares. Design all these elements to coordinate
with each other. Some people hire a calligrapher to address the
envelopes, but your own handwriting in wonderful ink can be just
as nice. Don’t forget to choose a great stamp.
