Is it your birthday soon? Or are you thinking of planning that surprise anniversary party for your parents? Maybe you’ve recently had a child and are considering a Christening to welcome them into the world? Whatever the occasion, one of the first things you will need to do is get some invitations. Because lets face it, what’s a party without the guests?

But, where do you start? With such a variety of invitations to choose from this can be difficult. My advice is to decide first what colour you want your card to be, this narrows the search down. Then consider how many people you are inviting. Now think about what details you need to include e.g. time, date, venue, contact details, etc. My belief is that unless you have flawless handwriting and the patience of a saint, non-personalised standard invitations are probably not for you. From experience, I know that my standard of writing slips after a couple of attempts and spelling/grammer mistakes are easily made. The last thing you want to do is send out invitations with words scribbled out or smudged. Alternatively what I would recommend is personalised invitations. Not only can you include everything you need to say, you can also include a photograph or three to give them that extra special touch. And just think of the time you would save not having to write out each invite individually.

Futhermore, it’s also good to consider those receiving your card.

Wouldn’t they just love it if they received a christening invitation with a picture of your little bundle of joy? Close family members would most likely treasure them as keepsakes.
