I need help wording a christmas party invitation?

Posted June 21st, 2009 by Thomas

I am having about 30 adults for a Christmas Cocktail Party. I am not planning on serving dinner just cocktails, hourderves and dessert. Should I put that on the invitation and how. Also, Is 7:30 a good time or 8:00?

    If you're calling it a "Christmas Cocktail Party" people should understand that you're not serving dinner. If you want to be doubly-sure that people aren't bringing their appetites, continue to call it a Christmas Cocktail Party, but also include phrases like "Nibbles and Drinks" or "Hors D'oeuvres & Cocktails" along with the time "7:30 to 11:00". People should not make the mistake expecting dinner. Have fun!

    You could go with either time. Consider how long you'll let the party run and your schedule. You don't want to have to kill yourself preparing for a 7:30 party if 8:00 would be better for you. Be sure to leave time to take some time for yourself before the party.

    I like 8:00, but 7:30 is just as well..

    Come and Enjoy Cocktails, hourderves, and desert at _________'s house. It'll be held on (date) (time) [i like 8] at (address). Call if you need directions, call regrets only to RSVP (number).

    =] hope that helped.

    The later the better if not serving dinner. Put something on the invite like holiday spirits, hourderves, and desserts are perfect for a crowd to mingle and have fun. I think most people would get the message as you have worded the invite. I would also put in a non alcohol station with soda, coffee, and maybe a crock of hot cider.

    And lots of holiday music.
