I procrastinated and now need invites for a party (non PC) I'm having on the 27th. Would love to design and use Vista but I don't think they would be here on time. It's a jewelry/wine tasting party and wanted to call it "Bangles and Beverages" on a cool postcard invite. Any company recommendations that won't cost me a fortune--something I can design online and get by this weekend????
 
Not sure of pricing, but OfficeMax/CopyMax, Kinkos, or Staples copy could do that for you and then you wouldn't be waiting (or paying for) shipping.

Or...could you print up your own using cardstock?
 
Make it yourself and print on cardstock.

I don't have colored ink.
 
so print it in B&W and then have it copied on colored card stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a jewelry/wine tasting party?

A jewelry/wine tasting party is a social gathering where guests can sample different wines while exploring and trying on various jewelry pieces. It's a fun way to enjoy good company, discover new products, and potentially make purchases in a relaxed setting.

How can I create last-minute invites for my party?

You can create last-minute invites by using online invitation platforms like Evite or Canva, which offer customizable templates. Alternatively, you can create a simple text or email invitation that includes the date, time, location, and RSVP details to send to your guests quickly.

What should I include in my last-minute invites?

Your invites should include the date and time of the party, the location, a brief description of what to expect (jewelry and wine tasting), RSVP details, and any special instructions (like bringing a friend or a favorite wine). Make sure to convey excitement to encourage attendance!

How can I encourage guests to RSVP quickly?

To encourage quick RSVPs, you can emphasize the limited space available and the fun activities planned. You might also consider offering a small incentive, like a raffle entry for a prize, to those who respond promptly.

What if I don’t have enough time to prepare for the party?

If you're short on time, focus on the essentials: a cozy space, a selection of wines, and a few jewelry pieces to showcase. You can also ask friends to help with setup or provide snacks. Remember, the goal is to create a fun atmosphere, not to stress over perfection!
