4th of July Invitations

4th of July invitations can be custom made store bought, and sent free via e-mail. Or if you are like me, the last couple of years, I simply invited our friends via telephone. Not any more. This year we had 30 people at our annual 4th of July pool party. They started coming at 11:30 AM with the last guests arriving at 6:30 PM. Needless to say the food went in the fridge and then out of the fridge. I heated up food in the microwave and served people food all day long. Next year I am sending out invitations that give specific times for when the party starts and when the food will be served.
Pool Party Invitation Wording
I already know what I'm going to say - and not going to say :)Your Fourth of July invitation wording needs to include: 1. Who is hosting the party 2. Day and Date of the party 3. Time - I will also include "Food will be served promptly at 1:00 PM" 4. Location of Party (street address, city and state if inviting out of town guests) 5. Appropriate attire - I ask the guests to come in their swimsuits 9. Include what they should bring, - for our 4th I ask the guests to bring a salad or a dessert to share; also remind them to bring towels Make sure you proof the invite for mistakes and/or forgotten information.
Fourth of July Invitations
These Fourth of July invitations were purchased after the 4th, so I was able to buy them half-off at a cute store called Invitations Only. For a little extra pizazz you can add a couple of star sprinkles in the invitation envelope.I can print them at home or bring them back to the store and they will print them for a charge. Since I am not that adept (yet) at aligning everything, I am bringing them to the store to be printed. If you want to design and order your invitations from the comfort of your own home, try VistaPrint Invitations. They have a great assortment of designs and they make it very easy to customize, whether you want to change colors, fonts, etc. I've used them many times and love the convenience, their prices, and their quality.
