Making The Best 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.

The theme of the anniversary should be a major factor in determining how the invites look like as they give an idea to the people invited, what they should dress in and what to expect in the celebration. The theme may range from traditional, modern or to a blend of both traditional and modern themes. The theme may also be a classic from any of the eras and depends entirely on what the people celebrating.

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.

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 size of the card is dependent on the details to be included. The essential details like the event being celebrated, the people celebrating, the event venue and the directions to the venue cannot be left out. However details like the site map can be added if some of the invitees are not conversant with the area. This will prevent uncalled for waste of time while locating the venue or looking for people who are lost. The person in charge should also be named just in case the invitees require confirming some details or cancelling their attendance for various reasons.

The information on the invites should be precise and short to prevent overcrowding them leading to an unsightly appearance. The details also need to be arranged in a logical manner to appeal to the person being invited. It is also a matter of necessity not to include things that are annoying or that may sound rude. If there are things that the invitee should bring with them, these should be politely brought to their notice.

Different people celebrate differently and some people may use their anniversaries to give back to society. The anniversary may be celebrated in form of a fund raiser for certain events or groups of people. When such is the case, the information should be clearly stated to enable the invitees come prepared for the events. Other activities may take place and it is thus wise to notify the invitees beforehand.

Anniversary invitations need to pass along a message and the message need to be clear enough to the invitee. Other decorative things are for aesthetic value. They also help to emphasize the message contained therein.
