Finding the Perfect Engagement Party Invitations

So, your best friend is engaged, and you’re planning a big event. There are many details to consider, and one of the first is your engagement party invitation. It’s important to consider the invitation paper, the colors, the theme and the invitation wording. You have so many choices that it can be difficult to know where to begin.

If you know the engaged couple well, their personalities can give you many ideas for planning all aspects of their party, including the invitations. If they met through a sport or at a sporting event, consider incorporating a sports theme. If they are wine enthusiasts, a wine tasting party makes a fun and unique party idea. Theme parties are always fun, and there are as many ideas as couples. Once you have determined a theme, you can get busy on those invites.

Choosing the Right Invitations

The right paper can make a big impact, but it can also be a big expense. If you are only inviting a few people, you may be able to splurge a little. Just be sure to print a few extras, including one as a keepsake for the bride. Consider seasonal colors and your theme when choosing paper and ink colors.

Check with your local stationer, of course, but also consider shopping online for your invitations. Very often your best deal can be found at an online retailer, though you may need to give them a little more lead time for printing. Also consider buying blank invitations and printing them on your own home printer.

Your paper supplier can help you with the best wording for your invitations.  Even if you use an online retailer, their website will most likely have some suggested wording you can use. This is the time to have fun, especially if your party will be a casual affair.  Some homemade silly poetry about the couple, their engagement, or the party theme can make a great introduction to all the required party details.  Have some fun, use your imagination and your friends will remember their engagement party for a lifetime.
