Step 1
Decide on a theme for your invitations. If the party has no specific theme, apart from serving wine and cheese, choose a more general invitation.
-
Step 2
Decide on an overall tone for your wine and cheese party. If you want your party to be laid back and casual, try humorous invitations. If you'd prefer a classy and elegant get-together, find invitations to match.
-
Step 3
Find miniature flags and attach them to the invitations if you're featuring wines and cheeses from several countries.
-
Step 4
Pick out paper embellishments, like grapes or cheese blocks, to accent your invitations. Themed embellishments can be found at Michaels.com (see Resources below).
-
Step 5
Photograph wine and cheese, or find photographs online and feature them on the invitations.
-
Step 6
Include menus in your invitations, giving your guests an idea of what to expect.
-
Step 7
Stray from traditional paper invitations and try something new. Mail tasting glasses to each of your guests, send out cheese slicers or give each of your guests a small wine and cheese journal. Include space for taking notes.
-
Step 8
Sign up for a free online website and create an interactive Web invitation. Allow your guests to reserve their spots with the click of a mouse. Include your full menu or, if you are having a potluck, provide a space for guests to enter what they plan to bring.
-
Step 9
Create invitations that look like wine bottle labels or cheese wheels. Corks, cheese graters and cows are popular shapes to use for invitations.
-
Step 10
Send last minute invitations over the Internet (see Resources below). You can also create an invitation on your computer and attach it to an email.
