Making The Best Anniversary Invites

By Jody Leach


A wedding, a birthday or even success in any activity gives us a chance to celebrate. We may be required to make and deliver anniversary invites to several people whenever we are celebrating. These invites takes different forms, sizes and even shapes due to the following factors.

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.

The type of anniversary in question should also be a major part of the decision on what the invitation cards should look like. Wedding anniversary, religious life, appointments and even death anniversaries can be celebrated. There will be differences in invites for all of them for various reasons including the fact that they are celebrating or remembering different events in life. A death remembrance will most likely have a sombre mood as opposed to a wedding celebration that will be cheerful and colourful.

Depending on your culture, the color of your invites may change as well. Some countries have the tradition of sending out different colored invitations depending the time between the original event and the anniversary. The most common colors are silver and gold, reflecting twenty-five or fifty years respectively. If you wish to do this, you must make the intention obvious on the invites.

The details to be included in the invites should determine its size. The most essential details like the venue, what the event is, the person to get in touch with for confirmation or cancellation of the attendance and any other thing that must be made known to those who will attend have to be included. If you are inviting people who live in other towns, it is wise to include the map of the area and identify the location distinctly. This will prevent the necessity to keep looking for people who have gotten lost.

Make sure your cards are aesthetically pleasing, with well-formatted and concise text to avoid clutter. Your actual message should be courteous so that your guests will feel encouraged to attend. You might want to include requests if you want them to contribute in some way as well.

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 goal of sending out your invitations is to make your exact intentions clear. You should also keep the physical appearance of the cards appealing. This will aid the clear delivery of your message.
