Drop the Clichés

The first rule of good invitation etiquette today: drop the pompous "I have the honor of inviting you...". Unless it's a formal diplomatic reception, keep it simple, genuine, and heartfelt.

Structure of a Great Digital Invitation

A memorable headline (tagline). For example: "30 is no joke" or "It's going to be loud, delicious, and very heartfelt!"
The key details. Make the time, date, and venue name clear and prominent. Nobody wants to dig through a wall of text to find the address.
Dress code without pressure. Instead of "Strict White Tie dress code", write: "I'd love to see you in Black & Gold. But most importantly — just be there!"

Wish List: How to Politely Hint at Gifts

Many people still feel awkward putting together a wish list. Don't be! It's actually much harder for guests to guess than to simply pick from a clear list. In PartyGen's digital invitations you can embed a tasteful gift block. Guests simply click "Reserve" and the gift is claimed. It's the perfect balance of politeness and practicality!
