Factors To Consider When Making The 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.

Different celebrations take different themes. The dressing mode, the activities to be carried out and the kind of food or drinks to expect are all determined by the theme. The theme may be chosen from a past period of time or it may be modern. It may also be a combination of both with some aspects being modern and others entirely traditional. The people celebrating are the ones responsible for coming up with a theme for the anniversary.

An anniversary may celebrate appointment to office, qualification for religious matters, wedding or it may even commemorate the passing on of a particular person. These determine the appearance of the invite. Happy events call for cheerful moods and this can be reflected in the invites. Sad events call for a more sombre mood. This means the invitation cards will differ depending on the type of anniversary.

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.

Invitation card sizes depend on how much detail you'd like to include in them. While you should include information like what anniversary it is, the main people being celebrated, where and when the party is held, and event venue directions; you may also want to give your guests even more information like larger maps. This is especially helpful if you choose a venue that isn't familiar to your guests, as it prevents a lot of wasted time trying to look for the location. If you aren't personally handling the event preparations, you should include the name of whoever is so that guests can contact them directly for any reason.

The appearance of the card needs to be attractive and thus the message should be short and clear. This prevents overcrowding the card in such a way that makes it look terrible. Politeness should be a major factor to prevent putting off the invitees. If there are things that the invitee could help with, the message should be passed politely. The information need to be arranged logically too.

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 aim of the anniversary invitations is to pass concise message to a certain group of people. Other things included on the card may be for aesthetic value. They may be used to give emphasis to the main message to be passed on.
