Holiday Invitations – Choosing the Right Wording

Bringing together friends and family for the holidays can be quite an undertaking.  If you are planning a holiday party, you will need proper holiday invitations to get the word out.  As the host of a Christmas party, you may feel overwhelmed with the wording of the invitations, on top of all the other planning that must be completed.  You may not be a confident writer and find that composing your invitations is more challenging than you imagined it would be.  Fortunately, there are websites that offer holiday invitations in many different formats with the wording already made-up.

There are plenty of wording possibilities to choose from.  The one you select should be based on the feel of the party you are throwing, the audience you are targeting and your personal preference.  If you are hosting a caroling party, perhaps a verse or two printed in the holiday invitations would be appropriate.  The party may be a formal-wear gathering with the intent of celebrating with wine and cider.  You may want to choose an invitation design that is a classic red, green and white.  On the other hand, something with silver, blue and black colors may be your preference.  Whatever you choose, it will give your potential guests an idea of what to expect so they can get excited for the get-together before it happens.

Once you have a card style selected, you need to choose how to word the invitation to your holiday celebration.  Religious gatherings can include a passage of scripture.  However, an invitation to a rambunctious party should not feature such a message.  When choosing the wording you will use, there is never a need to come up with the message on your own.  You can use the wording suggestions from the site you order your holiday invitations from.  There are plenty of well-worded invites that still sound unique and individual to your party if you choose one that matches your theme.

While poorly-worded invitations will probably not keep friends and family members from attending your party, you as the host want to make the best first impression possible.  Wording in your holiday invitations is important, but it should not overshadow the rest of the card.  Obviously, the card you select is based on the colors and designs of the invitation itself.  Have the words of your message complement the visual flair of the invitation itself.
