Invitation FAQ's
What kind of paper shall I use for custom printed invitations?
This will depend on the event you are promoting, how formal it is, what the purpose is and who the recipient is. For formal events, top quality linen paper is recommended, however, for routine events and seminars you can also send invitations in a postcard format.
Design is more important than paper. As invitations set the tone for your event, it might be worth taking the time to make sure they are designed, worded and sent out exactly the way you envisioned them. Here are a few tips that will hopefully simplify your design process:
-Make sure your invitations are sent out with plenty of notice. This might seem obvious, but if the designing process and deciding on the invitees takes longer than you expected you might run into some issues. So make sure you leave ample time for the whole invitation process.
-There are so many invitations out there these days making it extremely hard for a couple to narrow down the field. If you look long and hard enough you can probably find one that elicits the emotional response you were hoping for. Also, keep in mind that the invitation sets the mood for the entire event so choose carefully!
-If appropriate, you might want to consider putting a picture in your invitations. Pictures can say a lot more than words sometimes.
Work with your designer to make sure all the details from the wording to the sealing are to your liking. This is a one time event (hopefully) so make sure you start it off with a bang!
Flat printing is considered more business like and it should be chosen over thermography for business invitations.
Invitations can be sent for more than one reasons. Invite clients to participate in your website's beta test, invite them to receive a free sample by stopping by your store, or invite them on an exclusive sale. People respond positively and see more value when they receive an invitation rather than an advertising flyer.
