![]() ![]() Use Email: Super reliable because it goes straight to people’s inboxes, but it’s not super easy to keep track of responses if you’re checking your email from your phone and your work computer and your home computer. The only slight complication is that you need to make sure you have everyone’s email address. And it is automatically set to send reminders to guests just before the party. It allows the guests to see who else is coming, gives you all the information you need, and totals who has said yes, no, and maybe. Use Evite: By far my favorite way to send an invitation. There are so many ways just to send an electronic invite alone. Maybe consider sending a follow-up email afterwards for both of these options to make sure people actually have all of the details. It’s also pretty personal to receive an invitation this way, might make people more accountable, who knows? If you’re looking for quick answers, this is definitely the way to go. (Unless you’re like Miranda and own a car and just want to drop them off at people’s houses.) If you’re looking for items you can stick in an envelope that will not cost you any more than a forever stamp, check out this post. This is a little more costly because you need to actually put together the packages – and then there’s the shipping cost to consider. For her Rocky Horror Picture Show Halloweenie Roast, she created packages for the attendees who lived in her area. I hadn’t even considered this option before talking to my friend Miranda at Spooky Little Halloween. And remember, you can send anything up to 6.125″ x 11.5″ that’s not square and under one ounce for the same price as a forever stamp, so make the most of your (currently) forty-nine cents. Also, you get to choose pretty cool stamps. Props to anybody who actually responds via snail mail with a hand-written note for something that’s not a wedding. That said, there’s something to be said about actually receiving snail mail. And then write all of those addresses on envelopes. The hardest part about this option is that you actually need to get everyone’s physical address. If you plan on only inviting a few, you can be more creative in your preparations. If you plan to invite a lot of people, make sure whichever option you choose is capable of being repeated for a lot of people. Choose which one is going to work best for you. This day in age there are a lot of different ways to send party invitations. This is one of my favorite parts, partially because it involves so many logistics and partially because this is the part where you finally get to tell the people about the party.
