Setting the tone....Sending the invite!

As the host or hostess for any event, your main goal is to make sure that the time your guests have with you is well-spent. You chose the perfect venue, the catering, and the decor. You've finalized your guest list. Now....all you have to do is send out the invitation.

Well, that is almost easier said than done. As premier Event Planning Specialists, we know that first things first, what is your budget? How extravagant are you expecting your invitations to be? What is the overall vision for your event? Gala or cookout? Fashion show or wedding? These questions must be answered prior to thinking about what you want your invitations to look like, the wording included, and the intricasies that encompass the total package.

For a wedding for example, when your guests receive their invitation with the proper etiquette in mind (hint hint....hire a Calligrapher) they will automatically think "A Luxury Affair." Now, as they open the invitation, do you have lined envelopes? Invitations included with velum and ribbons? How about a significantly detailed and streamlined invite that screams Lavish or Simply Elegant? All of the words that you want your guests to think when step foot in your event should be portrayed through the first impression, your Save the Date Cards and your Invitiation!

We have put together a few of our Envi Picks for invitations. From casually chic to simply sophisticated to lavish luxury there are bound to be an idea that you will fall in love with, just like we have!
