Significance
-
The invitations set the tone for your party. Ideally they should give your guests the necessary information they need about the party and let them know a little about the theme and style of the party.
Time Frame
-
Invitations to more formal parties such as charity balls, anniversary parties and formal dinners should be sent six to eight weeks ahead of time. This allows guests to prepare for the party and will help you make the proper arrangements. For more casual events like birthday parties or housewarming parties, you can send invitations out two to four weeks ahead.
