Party Planning Tips: Wording for Christmas Party Invitations

You can go funny or formal. You can use just about any type of wording for Christmas invitations. The key to effective invitations is to send them early. Holiday calendars fill up quickly, so send your invitations three weeks to a month ahead of time.

When you’re planning a Christmas party, consider sending “save the date” cards six to eight weeks in advance. Use wording like this:

We’re making our list and checking it twice and we don’t want you to miss the fun!
Save Saturday, December 2nd for the Annual Johnson Christmas Party.

It won’t be a party without you.
Save Friday, December 15th for the Cedar Foundation Christmas Gala
Details coming soon

The wording on Christmas party invitations should fit the design of the invitation and the theme of the party. If you’re planning an informal family party, don’t send elegant invitations with formal wording (Your presence is requested, etc. etc.). On the other hand, don’t send Elmo invitations (even if he does look incredibly cute in the Santa hat) for a formal dinner party.
