How to Pick Invitations for a Pub Crawl

An invitation is a person's first glance at the theme of an event. For a pub crawl, you should pick invitations that provide plenty of information and set the mood for the night.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Schedule for the pub crawl
• List of people to invite

Pick the Right Invitations for a Pub Crawl

1. Pick invitations that fit the theme of the pub crawl. The invite will give people an idea of how to dress for the event.
2. Make sure you have enough space on the invitation to provide all the information you need. You'll need to decide if you want to include a map to the bars on the invite or simply hand it out during the crawl. You want to make it as easy as possible for people to join the pub crawl.
3. Consider making invitations instead of purchasing them. They can be as simple as photocopied flyers or more complex, like elaborate cards. Since you are most likely organizing the pub crawl as a free event, you don't want to spend too much money on invites.
4. Send emails to everyone that is invited, or use a service like Evite (see Resources below). Almost everyone has access to email these days, so this is an easy way to get a fun invitation to several people. Evite also lets you keep track of who is attending with an online RSVP system.
5. If you are doing a public or fundraising pub crawl, make sure you get permission to use the logos of any bars on the invitation. You will also want to include the names and logos of any sponsors. Consider having the invites professionally printed. You can even ask the print shop to donate the service for a fundraising pub crawl.
6. Use something that can be brought along on the pub crawl as part of your invitation. Write the details on an umbrella if you live in a rainy city, a martini glass if that fits your theme or even printed on a shirt that everyone must wear.

Tips & Warnings

• Provide a complete schedule of what bars you will be at and when you will be there, just in case any one wants to meet the group after the pub crawl has started.
• Make sure you let people know if they are limited to a certain number of guests. You don't want the pub crawl to get larger than you can handle.
