Invitations...

Tantalizing invitations can set the theme stage weeks before the actual party begins! Therefore, it is very important to create the mood and gradually get your guests into a festive frame of mind though making innovative selections that not only reflect the overall party experience but your own unique personality as well. As the days progress from the time of the invites arrival and the actual day of the party, the anticipation will build to a final plateau.

Planning your event doesn't have to be stressful. Whether you are planning a birthday party, anniversary or the event of the year, make it fun by relaxing and set your imagination free. Plan a party from wild to mild, but be sure to carry your theme throughout every portion of the event. Set the mood for your party before your guests even set foot in the door with great invitations. The hottest kind of party right now is a theme party - you choose the theme, invitations, and decorations, and your guests show up dressed to match!

These aren't just for kids anymore! Fun theme party ideas include:
Putnam House Poker Invitation at InvitationBox.com
  • Casino Night and Poker Parties - You don't have to spend money to be a high roller at a casino party! Give your guests tokens to play with and have prizes for the guests with the highest amount at the end of the night.

  • Cocktail Parties and Wine Tasting Parties - You supply the swanky decor, napkins, plates, and drink mixes, and politely ask your guests to bring a bottle of their favorite libation. Sending invitations is the tactful way to do this.

  • Movie Parties - Bring back the glitter and glitz of old Hollywood with a movie party! Play old movies starring classic celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn, and Cary Grant.

  • Tropical Parties - Say aloha to a night filled with leis and grass skirts! Ask your guests to wear crazy Hawaiian shirts and bring their favorite Hawaiian-inspired dish or dessert. Hand out leis and play a tropical mixed cd to set the mood for your party.  Your guests will feel like they've just landed in the islands.

  • Beach & Pool Parties - When summer weather hits, pool parties are huge with kids and adults alike. Choose fun, colorful invitations and decorations to celebrate fun in the summer sun. For beach parties, some beaches still allow open pit BBQ's. Invite friends and family for an old-fashioned clam bake by the sea. Most importantly, remind your guests to bring their swimsuit!

    Choosing the right invitations and decorations for your party shouldn't be stressful. Many party hosts prefer ordering online so they don't have to drive to a crowded store and wait for seems like hours in line. Be sure to socialize with your guests during the party - your guests want to have fun with you not watch you toil over food and beverages in the kitchen. If you're not having your party catered, put out large bowls or plates filled with foods that won't spoil, like salsa and vegetable trays. Most of all, just have fun. Remember, life isn't all work and no play!

    Baby Showers: Are you expecting an adorable bundle of joy to arrive soon? Then it's time to start thinking about a baby shower. Many expectant mothers have a themed baby shower and send baby shower invitations to let their guests know what the baby shower theme will be.

    Some baby shower ideas include:

    • Color Themes - Do you know the baby's gender? If so, choose pink or blue decorations to celebrate your baby! If the baby's gender is a surprise, neutral colors like light yellow and sea foam green are perfect for both boys and girls.

    • Pamper The New Mom - A new baby will bring joy to any woman's life, but they also make for a very busy mom. Help mom and all the guests relax with facials, manicures, and pedicures.

    • Mommy and Daddy Baby Showers - A baby shower is traditionally just for mom, but don't leave out dad! While you're celebrating with the soon-to-be mom, have the guys throw a backyard barbecue for dad.

    • Surprise! - A surprise party is your classic party theme, but it's a great present for the expectant mom. She may be too busy preparing for her bundle of joy to even think about throwing a baby shower! Save her time, and let her relax and have fun with friends for a few hours by hosting a baby shower in her honor.

    Remember to include the store where the expectant mom is registered at on the baby shower invitation. Send the invitations out about two or three weeks before the party so all the guests can mark their calendars.  For more baby shower invitation etiquette, check out this article. The new mom will be so happy to celebrate her baby surrounded by her closest friends and family!

    Once your adorable baby is born, let your loved ones know by sending personalized photo birth announcements to all of your loved ones. It can be difficult for friends and family who live far away to visit you and your baby, so sending them a photo is the perfect way for them to see your little one! Plus, photo baby announcements are great for displaying a picture of your baby. They're a perfect start for your baby scrapbook, too.

    Throw a baby shower to welcome that darling bundle of joy into your life!

    Weddings Saying yes was the easy part, right? Planning a wedding isn't always an easy task, but your wedding doesn't have to be that way! Shopping online for wedding supplies is a great, stress-free way to find items that reflect your unique style. Remember to include wedding invitations and stationery when shopping. Here's a check list of must needed stationery items for your wedding.
    • Save The Date cards are typically sent out about six months before the wedding to remind guests of your special day.

    • Engagement Party Invitations to celebrate your engagement with all your friends and family. Share your excitement with all your loved ones!

    • Bridal Shower Invitations for your wedding shower.

    • Bachelorette Party Invitations with fun, girly designs like lingerie, high heels, cocktails and dancing.

    • Wedding Invitations Choose wedding invitations that reflect your style and love. Trendy designs are popular choices, but remember that this is your one and only wedding invitation.  Since your love is timeless, it's best to choose an invitation design that will stand the test of time as well.

    • Wedding Stationery including thank you notes and envelopes so you can let each guest know how much you appreciate them!

    Throwing the soon-to-be bride a bridal shower and a bachelorette party is a great way to help her relax from the stress of planning a wedding. A theme party is a fun, unique way to celebrate her upcoming nuptials and prepare for married life. Ideas for bridal shower themes and bachelorette parties include:

    • Around The Clock - Write a specific time, like "seven o' clock" on each invitation. The guests with that invitation will bring a gift appropriate for that time. For instance, the guest with "seven o' clock" may bring flatware or china.

    • Tea Party - Hosting a tea party is perfect for any bride. Be sure to have small sandwiches, scones, cookies, and an assortment of teas.

    • Winter Bridal Showers - Having a winter wedding? Supply plain Christmas ornaments, sequins, beads, and paints, and have each guest design an ornament for the couple's first Christmas tree.

    • Linen & Lingerie Shower - This is a party where each guest is asked to buy the bride a piece of linen or lingerie to be used in the bedroom, or wherever else she and the groom fancy. At InvitationBox.com, we offer a very wide selection of linen and lingerie bridal shower invitations for you to select from.
    • Girls' Night In - Wear comfy pajamas, rent chick flicks, buy chips and dip, and give each other manicures, pedicures, and facials! It's time for the bride to take a much needed break from all that wedding planning.

    • Room of the House - Like the Around The Clock theme, each invitation will have a certain room of the house on it. Guests may bring gifts appropriate for that room.
