How to send a party invitation online

  1. Choose a party invitation template that fits the mood: elegant, playful or seasonal.
  2. Add the date, time, place, dress code and anything guests should bring.
  3. Share it by WhatsApp, email or link and follow replies in your guest list.

Tips for a full guest list

Send invitations 2 to 4 weeks ahead, or 6 weeks for holiday season dates. Give a clear reply-by date, mention plus-ones, and send one friendly reminder a few days before the deadline.

Party invitation templates for every kind of get-together

Pick the design by the mood you want guests to feel before they arrive: candlelit and elegant for a dinner party, bright and loud for a house party, cosy for a holiday gathering, or themed for a costume night. Every template can take your own photo, colors and wording.

Party invitation wording examples

Dinner party: "Join us for dinner at ours on Saturday 15 November at 7:30 pm. Good food, good wine and better company. Let us know by 8 November."

House party: "We're throwing a party and you're on the list! Friday 21 November from 9 pm. Bring your best playlist and your dancing shoes."

Holiday party: "Come celebrate the season with us on Saturday 13 December from 6 pm. Festive jumpers welcome, mulled wine guaranteed. RSVP by 5 December."

Halloween: "Costumes required, candy provided. Join us for a Halloween party on Saturday 31 October from 8 pm. Best costume wins a prize, so come scary."

Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving: "Friendsgiving at ours on Saturday 21 November at 5 pm. We will do the turkey, you bring a side or a dessert. Reply with what you are bringing so we don't end up with six pies." In Canada, move the date to early October.

New Year's Eve: "Say goodbye to the year with us! Wednesday 31 December from 9 pm until well after midnight. Dress up, bring a bottle and let us know by 20 December."

Summer barbecue: "Burgers, sunshine and good company. Backyard barbecue on Saturday 18 July from 2 pm. Kids and dogs welcome, rain date Sunday the 19th."

One invitation for a multi-part event

If the party runs over more than one event, such as Friday drinks, a Saturday dinner and a Sunday brunch, list each part with its own time and place in the invitation, and ask guests to say in their RSVP note which parts they will join. For very different guest lists, for example family for dinner and friends for the late party, send a separate invitation to each group from the same template so the design stays the same.

Can I invite a large group?

Yes. Send the same invitation to as many guests as your plan allows and follow every reply in one list.

What should a party invitation say?

Who is hosting, what the party is for, the date, start time and end time if there is one, the address, and the date you need replies by. Add a dress code, what to bring and whether plus-ones or kids are welcome only when guests need to know.

How far in advance should I send party invitations?

Two to three weeks is enough for a casual get-together. Send holiday party invitations 4 to 6 weeks ahead, because December weekends fill up fast in the US, Canada and the UK.

Are the party invitation templates free?

Yes. Free templates and RSVP tracking come with every account. Paid plans add premium designs and higher guest limits.

Can I change the details after sending?

Yes. Update the invitation and guests see the latest time, place and notes when they open the link.

Do guests need an app?

No. The invitation opens in any browser, so guests can reply from any phone or computer.
