The Five Essential Components of the Perfect Invitation

What is a perfect party invitation? It is witty, coming with beautiful visuals and containing all of the essential information that guests need. These descriptions make it sound very simple and easy to make a perfect party invite.

Invitation writing can be difficult, especially if you want to come up with something original and fun. The visuals, the tone and the manner in which the invitation relates to the party theme will all play a role.

Here are the five essential components of the perfect invitation. Each one of them is important and contributing to the overall appearance and attractiveness of the invitation.

Party Invitation Paper
Paper affects your invitation in two ways – its color and its texture will both make a statement. Selecting simple white paper will make your invitation no different then any other written message that people get.

If you want to have unique invitations, you should pick interesting paper. It needs to be thicker so that the invitation remains intact. A specific color or a texture will also make your card attention grabbing.

Refrain from overdoing it. If you rely on paper texture, you should minimize the use of graphic elements. To impress, you should also get the invitation cut in a specific shape that helps communicate the party theme.

Fonts
Font selection plays a role, as well.

Try to have only two or three fonts used throughout the invitation. Get them to come from the same font family or to resemble each other.

Decorative fonts should be used for headings or small highlights. The essential information needs to be easy to read and to comprehend.

Visuals
Visuals enhance the written message. They will also set the tone. Use visuals wisely and sparingly.

Decide whether graphics or text will have more value. The leading visuals should be one. It can appear on the front of the invite or it can accompany the text. Invitations can be black and white, featuring a single color or multi-colored. All of these options have the potential to look attractive.

Poems and Verses
Successful invitations have a catchy phrase, quote or poem added to them. This creative and fun element explains what the party is all about.

You can come up with a catchy phrase for nearly any occasion – a birthday party, a baby shower, an engagement or an anniversary. Instead of searching for poems online, you can try writing your own.

Text
The text of the invitation provides all of the essential and informative details.

Make sure that the invitation states what the party is all about. Provide information about the date, venue, dress code and most appropriate gifts. It will also be wise to include directions and specifics about the activities that guests could be expecting.

Creating the perfect party invitation is far from difficult, as long as you know what elements need to be put together. Experiment and trust your intuition. If something looks wrong, you should probably try to change it.

Remember that discovering the balance between creative elements and information is essential. The two should work together to create the character of the invitation. One overpowering element will ruin the entire idea.
