Paper invitations to Lakeland events are becoming more of a rarity nowadays because of the ease of use offered to us by social media and the Internet. Sending an event invitation used to be an elaborate affair. The host would compile a guest list, order invitations from a print shop, or purchase a pack of invites from a party store.
The addresses are written out, placed into their individual envelopes, postage is purchased, and sent to the post office. Nowadays, everything can be sent out with a simple tick of a box, or click of a button. If you’re looking to bring back that personal touch with a creative flair into your event invitations, read on.
Work with your theme
Use your theme as the foundation of your event invitations. As much as possible, avoid sending out event invitations without a theme decided on. Otherwise, you might end up sending generic invitations that say nothing interesting about the event that you’re organizing. So take the time to think out a theme that you’re happy with for your event, and use that as a starting point for your invitations.
If it’s a party with a colorful theme like Mardi Gras or LGBT, incorporate these fun colors into your invitation, but try not to overdo it. If the theme is more formal and classy, look into using sophisticated colors like black, gray, or silver to add a touch of elegance to your invitations. If your theme is a little more out there like a summer or winter theme, you can incorporate these into your invitations.
Throw in an extra flair to entice the senses
Another great thing about physical invitations is that you can do a lot with them. Attendees who receive your invitations have the chance to do more with your invitation than just see what’s on it. Change things up a little by putting your invitation on scented paper, or use different textured types of paper.
Invitations can be designed to play music, so you can incorporate a sound clip that ties in to your theme. If you have the budget, you can incorporate video into your invitations now. So you can shoot a short teaser of your event, and have that playing when your attendees open the invitation.
Bring back postage stamps
To add a special touch of nostalgia to your Lakeland events invitations, you can customize postage stamps that bear a symbol representing your event theme.
