How to Choose a Memorable Personalised Invitation for the Big Day

Like it or not there will always be parties for family and social occasions. Whether hosting the event in your home or elsewhere, planning is key to success. Making the event a personal experience, ensures your guests feel welcomed, creates a warm atmosphere and sets the tone for the day or the evening.

Personalised Christening Invitations

Christenings are all about the baby, creating invitations with an image of the new-born infant gives them a wow factor and sets them apart from any ‘off the self’ invitation you can buy in the shops. Everyone wants a photo of the new arrival!  These invites are sometimes framed or perhaps attached to the fridge with a magnet, many end up on the office desk or on the panel beside the desk at work.

Personalised Communion Invitations

First Holy Communion is the first big event in every child’s life, this is ‘their big day’! Mementos of this ‘big day’ are often set aside as keepsakes by mum and given back to the child when they reach a major landmark birthday such as 18th or 21st. Making the effort to personalise invitations for such events means a lot on the day but is priceless 10 – 15 years later when they can reflect on their younger selves, their style and demeanour in their ‘youth’.  

Personalised Confirmation Invitations

A child is usually leaving single digit ages when they get their confirmation. They are becoming more independent and are seeking more personal autonomy at this age. It’s a great idea to involve them in decision making around the event and even ask them to design their own invitations.

Personalised Birthday Invitations

Birthday Invitations can be such fun; add an image of the person when s/he won the cup, at the last party or relaxing by the beach on the last sun holiday. Try to express the personality of the person whose birthday party it is in the setting and preparation.
