Christmas party invitation wording for employees and partners: 10 examples from formal to playful, what every invitation must include and when to send it.
A good invitation does two jobs: it gives people everything they need to know and sets the mood before the evening begins. Below are ten texts you can copy and adapt, followed by a short checklist of what to include so nobody has to ask.
What to include
- Date and time – start and an approximate finish.
- Venue and address – for example “Mosso, Žvejų g. 18A, Klaipėda Old Town”.
- Format – seated dinner, finger food or tasting; speeches or awards.
- Dress code, if there is one.
- RSVP date and who to tell about dietary needs.
- Whether partners are invited.
- Getting home – taxi code, bus or accommodation.
