Stress Free Holidays – Week Four, Day Four

Today, we’ll be making any invitations you need.

If you have any parties or host any of the holiday gatherings, you’ll need to invite the family and friends who you would like to attend. 

So today, we’re going to create those invitations. 

If you’re sending email invites, there are plenty of online services where you can create an e-vite. 

If you’re sending physical invites through the mail, go ahead and design them. You can choose whether you want to send them now or later.  

If you’re creating a Facebook event (our personal choice for inviting people to parties), you can choose to create that now, or later. Personally, we create the Facebook event now, rather than wait until closer to the holidays, because calendars fill up quickly during the holiday season, and we want our friends to know about our one big Christmas party before everyone else tells them about theirs. LOL

In your invite, don’t forget to address the following:

  • Who’s invited.
  • What the party is.
  • Where the party is.
  • When the party is.
  • What they need to bring (if anything).
  • If they are bringing food, are there any allergies?
  • If they need to RSVP or not.

Our Facebook event has this in the description (feel free to copy this for your own use).

Enjoy fellowship, food and fun with us as we celebrate Jesus Christ together. We’d love to see you! This is an Open House format, so join us between 1 and 8 for as little or as much time as you can spare during the busy season.

You are welcome to bring food, but it is NOT AT ALL necessary, we will have plenty! Please let us know if you’ll be coming so we can plan accordingly.

**Due to anaphylactic airborne allergies of some of our guests, please do not bring anything with any tree nuts or nut butters.**

We tend to have 150-200 people show up at our Christmas party and we provide all of the food, which is why we request RSVPs. If you host a potluck, or ask people to bring their own food, you may not need RSVPs.

If you do a Facebook event, we highly recommend printing little pieces of paper with all of the information on them for your children to hand out to their friends who may not necessarily be connected to you through Facebook. 

Let us know in the Facebook group if you need help with any of this, and we’d be happy to help you.

See you tomorrow for the last day of Communications Week!

PJ and Brett
