Invitations are the first introduction to your wedding reception, baby shower or party.

They set the tone as well as set the date!

Party invitation etiquette

When sending out invitations, be sure to plan ahead at least several weeks in advance so guests can save the date to join you. That goes double for wedding invitations -- especially if you're inviting a number of far away friends and relatives who must make travel plans and arrange for an overnight hotel stay

Most invitations always include WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and RSVP details. For kids' birthdays, it's also nice to let busy parents know the start and end times of your party.

Traditionally, driving directions to the church and/or reception hall are also include in wedding invitations, especially if guests are arriving from out of town.

Also, since this will be the first time guests have traveled to a new destination, driving directions are also usually a good idea to include for housewarming parties.

Party or wedding invitation ideas range anywhere from formal to fun and, depending on the occasion, you can either buy them from a local card shop, order them online, or create them yourself using a home printer and easily available invitation clip art from around the Web.

Stuck on how to word a custom made party invite? Here are some suggestions to get you started with fun cover headline wording for some of the most popular party themes:


• For a 2 year old birthday: "Turning 2 is so much fun. Let's have a party second to none!"
• For a 60th birthday: "Aged to Perfection", or "Sexy 60."
• For a 70th birthday: "Look who's pushing 70" (with a picture of a speedometer)
• For a baby shower: "Heard the forecast? It's a baby shower!"
• For a pirate party: "X marks the spot for a fun pirate party!" or "Shake your booty!"
• For an Elmo theme birthday party: "Elmo says .... B is for Birthday!"
