Tips & Warnings
If you are planning a large party, look into ordering invitations in bulk from various online companies. You'll pay a lot less than if you buy the small packs found at greeting card or convenience stores.
Stock up on several of the available gold, silver or other colored pens that you can find at almost any store. These are great for giving even simple invitations a festive look.
If you are having invitations custom made and sent to you at home, make sure that you order them early enough to make sure all the information is correct.
If you decide to send oddly shaped or heavy invitations, it's best to take them to the post office to be certain that you are paying the correct postage.
