Make Your Anniversary Invites Appealing

By Jody Leach


A wedding, a birthday or even success in any activity gives us a chance to celebrate. We may be required to make and deliver anniversary invites to several people whenever we are celebrating. These invites takes different forms, sizes and even shapes due to the following factors.

Different celebrations take different themes. The dressing mode, the activities to be carried out and the kind of food or drinks to expect are all determined by the theme. The theme may be chosen from a past period of time or it may be modern. It may also be a combination of both with some aspects being modern and others entirely traditional. The people celebrating are the ones responsible for coming up with a theme for the anniversary.

The type of anniversary in question should also be a major part of the decision on what the invitation cards should look like. Wedding anniversary, religious life, appointments and even death anniversaries can be celebrated. There will be differences in invites for all of them for various reasons including the fact that they are celebrating or remembering different events in life. A death remembrance will most likely have a sombre mood as opposed to a wedding celebration that will be cheerful and colourful.

Time is also a major factor to determine the general appearance of the invites. Different cultures or countries use different colors to depict the length of time that has elapsed since the event being celebrated occurred. The most universal ones are silver for twenty five years and gold for a period of fifty years. The appearance of the invitation card should be able to depict this clearly to the audience.

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.

Make sure your cards are aesthetically pleasing, with well-formatted and concise text to avoid clutter. Your actual message should be courteous so that your guests will feel encouraged to attend. You might want to include requests if you want them to contribute in some way as well.

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.
