Create a Stylish & Simple Invite: DIY Ideas

[wadesgirl]

For those who use a full page invitation, can you post it? I'm wanting to use a simple black and white invite that I'll print on colored paper and stuff in an envelope with the mini catalog.

There are downloadable versions on CC, in the theme show archives. Those are the ones I use.

Did you check out the files? There are lots with "invite" like this one:

I use this one - I got it from Crystal Patton...I like it because it's easy to modify for whatever kind of show I'm doing - and it's savable, unlike the ones from PC.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

I do like to be able to save them, I keep copies of all invites for hosts on my computer. when they reschedule all I have to do is change their date.

I do a similar invitation to Becky's; however, I add at the bottom that there are 4 ways to order:
1. Attend the show
2. Order from the host
3. Order online and I give step-by-step instructions on how to do that
4. Order from me and include my e-mail and phone

okay so i am fairly new to PC and for my first 3 parties i have just sent out the regular postcard invite. however with my new fall/winter supply order i decided to send out the mini caddys. for those that do the full page invite, do you find that those are better with getting guests? i guess i am just wondering what the benefits are of using full page invites are?? TIA

I am also quite new; however, I send this full page invite out along with a mini-catalog. When the HO ran out and I couldn't order more, my latest shows haven't gotten the mini's. Shows that I sent mini's out for had way higher sales. When they call to RSVP or the host calls to check, she often gets, "Oh, by the way I want such and such on page, 5" etc. I've had a big difference, and it is worth the extra postage. My first show was $771!

I'm noticing a difference in sales this month w/o the mini, too.

There shouldn't be extra postage for sending a mini, I send a mini w/ a full page invite and it's only one stamp...

how do you send the mini and full page invite? do you put them in an envelope??

I think she's probably referring to vs. a postcard invite.
