The Real Deal
It can stand to be said again: paper invites evoke a feeling of festivity, fun, and special occasion. Your snail mail invitations should be in the mail to your friends at least two weeks prior to the party date. They don't need to be extravagant or complex. They do need to contain a few key details:
~ Time ~ What date is your do? What time are you all converging?
~ Place ~ Where are you meeting up? One location, or multiple?
~ What ~ What is this shindig about? Staying low-key and relaxed with food? Trawling the neighborhood row of pubs? Taking in an Irish dance show? Dressing up as Lucky Charms?
If you need RSVP's, indicate how and by what date you need responses.
Here are a few simple ideas for paper invitations you can try:
- White/ivory cards adorned with green: you can purchase blank card/envelope sets very affordably in your local craft shop. Stamp (or sticker) a green clover, glue on a sash of St. Patty's print scrapbook paper or a stream of confetti shamrocks, or tie a green ribbon to these cards after you've popped them through your printer with the party details.
- Kids' invitations: buy pre-packaged children's invitations (not sure if they will have St. Patrick-specific ones, but simple ones that say "you're invited," or something along those lines should suffice-you can always jazz them up with a bit of green as mentioned above. Swing by a local party supply store and have a gander. You're likely to find just what you're looking for at a very reasonable price.
- Green cardstock: Local paper shops often carry colored card stock that comes in sheets or as pre-folded cards. Sheets can be printed and then cut down (you could veritably print 4 invites per sheet of 8.5"x11" cardstock and then cut it down into quarters), or you could always handwrite invites as the spirit moves you.
- Shamrock cutouts: remember those foil green lightweight cardboard shamrocks your third-grade teacher used to decorate the bulletin boards in class? They are usually a blank white side on the back, perfect for writing your details. These can be found in party and teacher's supply shops. Pop them into standard envelopes and mail them off.
