Making The Best Anniversary Invites

By Jody Leach


Any event can be a reason to celebrate such as a birthday, wedding, etc. In certain situations, you have the need to create and send out anniversary invites to everyone you'd like to invite to your party. You can make your invites in a variety of different shapes, sizes, formats, and materials; all depending on your preference and event.

There are a number of different themes you might consider. Your party will have a different dress code, refreshments, and party activities when considering what type of mood you'd like to set. Some may want to take more traditional approaches, while some may want to modernize the party. Others might even want to incorporate different elements from past and present as well. You will be the one who chooses what route you want to take in celebrating the anniversary, and plan accordingly.

The type of anniversary in question should also be a major part of the decision on what the invitation cards should look like. Wedding anniversary, religious life, appointments and even death anniversaries can be celebrated. There will be differences in invites for all of them for various reasons including the fact that they are celebrating or remembering different events in life. A death remembrance will most likely have a sombre mood as opposed to a wedding celebration that will be cheerful and colourful.

The length of time it has been since the occurrence of the events. People use different colours for different lengths of time. Gold is used for fifty years while silver is used for 25 years. Some people even have colour schemes for every decade and this may differ across cultures. The appropriate colour theme should be pre-empted by the invitation cards and therefore giving an idea to the invitees on how many years they are commemorating.

The size of the card is dependent on the details to be included. The essential details like the event being celebrated, the people celebrating, the event venue and the directions to the venue cannot be left out. However details like the site map can be added if some of the invitees are not conversant with the area. This will prevent uncalled for waste of time while locating the venue or looking for people who are lost. The person in charge should also be named just in case the invitees require confirming some details or cancelling their attendance for various reasons.

Make sure your cards are aesthetically pleasing, with well-formatted and concise text to avoid clutter. Your actual message should be courteous so that your guests will feel encouraged to attend. You might want to include requests if you want them to contribute in some way as well.

There are people who wish to make their anniversary celebrations charitable. If you are one of these people, you can transform the party into a fundraiser for a certain cause. However, if you do take this route, you'll need to make your intentions obvious in your invites. It's important that you notify your guests of the activities that will take place.

The goal of sending out your invitations is to make your exact intentions clear. You should also keep the physical appearance of the cards appealing. This will aid the clear delivery of your message.
