Steps

- Figure out food. Will you be asking everyone to participate in the food? If so, are you going to leave the type of dish to bring to each person, or will you tell them what to bring?
- Determine the time and place the event will be held.
- Pick the paper you will use based on the type of event. If formal, a nice paper, if tropical a paper with a tropical background, etc.
- Make sure your invitation has the details -- What, Where, When and How.

- When is the exact time and date.
- How is what you are asking others to bring and if it is to be a special dress such as coat and tie, tropical dress, etc.
- Print the invitations out 2-3 weeks before the event and mail them. If it is a very formal invitation such as a wedding you will probably want a professional printer to do the work. They will provide the paper you will provide the wording.
