Around the holidays, a large number of individuals make the decision to host a holiday party. Are you looking to be one of those individuals? If so, there is a good chance that you may be interested in planning a Thanksgiving party. If you want to plan a Thanksgiving party, have you started planning yet? If not, it may be time to get started. You will find that the sooner you get your party planning started, the sooner you can start to invite your guest.
Speaking of your Thanksgiving party guests, have you decided on a way to invite them yet? When it comes to inviting your party guests, you will find that you have a number of different options. In fact, you have so many options that you may be wondering which invite method you should use. When it comes to inviting guests to your Thanksgiving party, while you might not necessarily think so, how choose to invite your guest may reflect on yourself, as well as your party. Perhaps, the best way to decide is to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each.
1. Official Invitations
When it comes to inviting guests to any party, including a Thanksgiving party, many party hosts use official invitations. When it comes to sending out formal invitations, you can either make your own, often right on your computer, or you can buy a package of invitations from your local party supply store or department store. Formal invitations are a great way to keep track of your invites and they are, almost always, preferred by guests. It is hard to explain, but there is just something about receiving a party invite in the mail. Really, the only downside to formal Thanksgiving party invitations is that they cost money; however, you can purchase low-cost invitations or, as previously mentioned, make your own.
2. Personal Note (aka Unofficial Invitation)
As previously mentioned, many party guests enjoy receiving invitations in the mail. If you would like to send a personal invite, but you do not want to spend the money on invitations or make your own, you can send quick note. Simply by writing down the date, time, and location of your Thanksgiving party is a great way to send an invite to one or all of your party guests. Although invitation may be nice, sending a personal, handwritten note is a cheap way to send a personal invite. It may also be a good idea to send a quick message along with that note. Simply asking a friend or relative how their life is going is a great way to turn a simple handwritten invitation into so much more.
As much as guests like getting something in the mail, you might not have the time or the money to do so. Luckily, you still have a number of different options. If you wish, you could call each of your party guests and personally invite them to your party. What is nice about this method of inviting your guests is that it is extremely personal, even more personally than sending something in the mail. The only downside, to inviting your Thanksgiving party guests with a phone call, is that it may be time consuming.
3. Email
If you are looking for an easy, convenient, and free way to invite all of your guests to your Thanksgiving party, you may want to give email some thought. If you know the email address of all of your party guests, you could easily send one large email to everyone. You will want to be sure and include everything that a regular invitation would include, such as the date, time, and location of your party. In addition to a traditional email, you may also be able to find free, online invitations. These invitations would be a great personal touch to your email party invitations.
In Conclusion
Honestly, it doesn’t really matter how you invite your guests, as long as you do extend them an invitation. Your Thanksgiving party would be nothing without your guests, so make sure you get those invitations out, particularly in advance.
