Wedding Anniversary and Wedding Anniversary Invitations

The http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/wedding-anniversary.htm Wedding Anniversary can be one of the most important invites you send. After all, so many people end up getting a divorce in these modern times that staying married is definitely worth celebrating.  Before you can send those cards, however, you're going to need to choose the perfect ones for your event.  Below you'll find some tips for choosing the right http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/ Anniversary Invitations.

Wedding Party Invitations & Themes

When planning a party, it might be a good idea to choose a theme. For example, if a couple met in the 1970s, you might choose to focus the decorations and entertainment of the wedding http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/annive... Anniversary Party on that decade. You could even hire a couple of servers for the event and ask them to dress up in full seventies attire. Another idea is to find headlines from that decade then make decorative poster board displays containing the headlines and photos related to those headlines. You could also recap everything that has changed in the world since the couple met as part of the event's entertainment.

Now that you've decided on a theme you're going to carry that theme throughout the rest of party planning, including the wedding party invitation you decide to pick. For example, you don't want to send out very formal invitations if you're going to have servers wearing bell bottoms. Remember that your invitations are supposed to clue your guests in on what the event is going to be like. That's something you want to remember when picking your wedding anniversary party invitations. And be sure and take advantage of the unique http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/annive...

Wedding Anniversary Invitation Factors

Besides the theme, you should also consider a few other factors. One of the biggest is going to be cost. You want to choose affordable cards  that look good but don't cost a fortune. Throwing one of these parties can be expensive so you'll want to save money in anyway that you can. One way you can't save money is by substituting phone calls or emails for mailed http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/wedding-anniversary-invitations.htm Wedding Anniversary Invitations. Etiquette dictates that the invitations be mailed, usually two weeks in advance to give guests time to make arrangements and to RSVP if necessary. However, you can always follow up with guests a few days prior to the event with a phone call or email, especially if they have not responded to the mailed custom http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/50th-golden-wedding-anniversary.htm 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary Invitations.

Another important issue is whether or not you should extend the invitation to children or if you want to stick with only adults at the party. The choice is yours. The only etiquette rule to follow is that the party should either allow kids or not allow any kids. You don't want to pick and choose kids since this may hurt the feelings of some of the guests. When you send the invitation, address it only to the parents. Hopefully, they will get the message.  Another concern is whether or not people who are invited can bring dates. Unless you specify "and date," most of your guests should realize they aren't allow to bring anyone else who is not specifically listed on the http://www.cardsshoppe.com/anniversary-invitations/25th-silver-wedding-anniversary.htm Silver 25th Wedding Anniversary.
