Many options to work with...
Retirement party invitations are usually ordered through companies that specialize in invitations of various kinds. They have an array of examples to choose from including style and wording. They can also custom create from unique ideas given in advance. A careful design should clearly reflect the type of party you are looking for. Before putting invitation ideas together, plan the details of the event.
Even before the planning, take a look at invitation samples. This can give you ideas for your own event. Try to plan well in advance. Companies often take several weeks to process orders.Getting the invitations in the hands of guests early is also important for reserving the time on people's busy schedules. There are many issues to consider beside the general appearance of the invitation. Here is a list of details that are part of invitation etiquette that need to be completed in the process:
- Exact wording of what you want to say about the retiree and the occasion.
- Display the date, time, and location of the party. Include map as appropriate.
- State of type of party and the theme.
- Give the dress code.
- Include contact information such as phone numbers, address, email address, etc. This is good for any questions or concerns.
- Inform guests about any unusual items such as 'no gifts' or 'child care is not available'.
- Include an agenda of events. Will there be a ceremony? Will there be dinner served?
RSVP cards are essential and should be mailed well in advance of the party date. Ask for total number of attendees and their names. Display the cost and who checks should be made out to. Indicate a date to respond by and include a return envelope. Showing menu items is also important especially when there is choice of entrees. Ask for their choices. Again, try to plan well in advance. Allow for 6 to 8 weeks ahead is highly recommended.
