Corporate Holiday Party Invitations
From LoveToKnow Party
Get the season started right with festive corporate holiday party invitations. Everyone loves a memorable, eye-catching invite, and it's a surefire way to guarantee maximum attendance on the big night!
The Perfect Invitation
Forget about cookie-cutter invitations packaged in small cardboard boxes. You just know someone else is going to be using them. After all, they're found in every drugstore and greeting card store across the country. No, the holidays require something much more thoughtful, creative and unique than that! Consider the many reasons it's important to give it your all when it comes to choosing the perfect invitation for the big corporate holiday party:
- This is a function that only comes around once a year. It's an opportunity to build memories, bond with co-workers, make new friends, indulge in delicious food, let loose and enjoy the season.
- You know how important it is to make sure everyone shows up to take advantage of all the fun you have planned. Whether it's a band or other special guest, a surprise presentation, a gift exchange or anything bound to instill excitement, it deserves a special mention in the invitation. A memorable invitation will do the talking for you.
- Pre-packaged invitations simply can't be customized. If your function requires something more complex and detailed than the basic details found in most invitations, you'll benefit from a service that allows you to tailor the invite to the specifics of the event.
Clearly, there's more to party invitations than meets the eye. An abundance of holiday-themed cards certainly do exist, and finding the perfect one will definitely get things started on the right foot!
Selecting Corporate Holiday Party Invitations
If the office holiday party calls to mind images of Xerox machines, loose-tied employees from three floors down and a big bowl of spiked punch, you've probably been watching too many movies. Nowadays, many businesses are adopting some new traditions when it comes to throwing the annual fiesta.
Employees who work for small, close-knit companies may opt to hold a function at someone's house. Others might choose to rent out party rooms for a playful, lighthearted affair, book a table at a ritzy restaurant for a more chic event or cater a casual, low-key lunch. Depending on the workplace and the preferences of the staff, just about any type of get-together can pass for a holiday party these days.
Once the nitty-gritty details for the party have been sorted out, it's time to select corporate holiday party invitations. Here are some ideas, based on various holiday party styles, to get you started.
Chic and Upscale
Successful companies often hold nothing back in throwing the most memorable event possible for guests. If a fancy do is in your plans, consider a clean and minimal invitation to mirror the classy atmosphere the party will project. Cream or ivory cardstock is always a safe bet, but any simple, modern invitation covering the basic details is a great choice. Consider one of these options:
Playful and Lighthearted
Only at a holiday party would pizza, hot chocolate and hors d'oeuvres be an ideal menu. Whether it's a night of karaoke and indulgent food with an intimate group or a boisterous get-together at a popular restaurant, a cheerful invitation will easily set the mood for the event. Try one of these colorful cards:
Casual and Low-Key
A young company may throw a party that suits another purpose altogether. By bringing the entire staff together, it gives everyone a chance to get to know each other, interact with employees from other departments and even do some networking. At the same time, the company may want to keep it a low-key affair to ensure everyone is comfortable and relaxed. A catered office lunch or gathering at a small bistro are popular choices. These cards suit the occasion well:
Some Final Points
Don't worry if your office doesn't have much room in the budget for holiday party invitations. Even those seemingly over-the-top, fancy invitations don't have to cost an arm and a leg. Most companies offer cards in groups of 25 or individually, if the amount of people attending is fewer, at relatively reasonable rates.
Of course, if ordering invitations online or having them specially prepared is simply not feasible, the best thing to do is head to your local greeting card store. Sure, you'll probably end up with something a little more basic, but as long as it gets the right information across, it's more than appropriate.
