A few things to keep in mind while designing an invitation card:

Invitation cards for formal and informal events are structured in different manners. Formal invites for events such as wedding parties and official functions are usually written in a third-person tone rather than first-person. The names and other details of the hosts are spelled out in a proper, detailed manner. The overall tone is kept formal, to the point, and in accordance with official rules.

Informal invitation cards for events such as Halloween get-togethers, Christmas parties, New Year’s Eve celebrations, picnic parties, and baby showers can have an informal and casual tone. The words are written in a conversational way, and can also be spelled in first-person.

A few things to avoid to leave a better impression on those receiving your invitation card:

• Avoid over-bursting colors
• Unwanted details
• Proper and sturdy material of the card
• Easily comprehendible font
• Wrong or misleading information
• Unclear information on who is invited for the event and who is not

In addition, This card must be sent keeping a considerable amount of time in mind. Sending in the invitation a little too late might leave the expected guests in rush and might lead to a bad impression of your event management.
