How to Write Party Invitations That Include a Menu

Including a menu in a party invitation is a great way to combine information.

Including a menu on a party invitation is one way to increase guests' enthusiasm for the occasion and is a particularly useful approach for a dinner party or a luncheon. Creating these invitations is simple, and combining the two is an effective and convenient way for the host to package information and lower costs. This format is suitable for a variety of events, including weddings, and can be tailored accordingly.

Instructions

1. Write the event's menu on one side of the invitation. Begin with the starter and follow with the main course and the dessert. For bigger meals, list the courses in the order in which they will be served. Invitations can be hand-written, created on a computer or ordered from a printing company. They should also reflect the theme and taste of the event.

2. Write the basic details of the event on the opposite side of the menu near the middle of the page. Include the date, time, and venue.

3. Write the event's title in large lettering above the basic information. For more formal events, the title can include a statement of invitation that mentions the name of the host or organization.

4. Write RSVP information beneath the attendance information, includng a phone number or return address. Mention whether you want invitees to contact the RSVP number or reply via post.
