Every great party plan starts with the invitation. You can always go with the store-bought, print-it- yourself variety or you can find a hand-crafted, make-a-statment invitation.
Whenever I create a party invitation, I make sure to incorporate a few details to make my invitation stand out.
-
Create an invitation that ties into your party theme. Yes, every party you throw, no matter how big or small should have a theme to it.
-
Add texture and layers to give your invitations dimension and visual interest. Layer on fabric, ribbon or an embellishment.
-
Make your invitations colorful, even if it’s a dark color or all white. With an all white invite, use different tones of white and cream to make the invitation interesting.
-
Opt for something other than a rectangular shape to make your invite really unique.
Of course I couldn’t just give you my opinion about what makes for a really unique party invitation, I had to share a few of my favorite invitation finds from Etsy and around the web.
Enjoy and Party On!
