Cocktail Party Invitations

A cocktail party is the chameleon of get-togethers. Whether you want a formal celebration with friends, family and colleagues or to host a creative mixology party or an elegant wine tasting party, the cocktail party will provide. With Evite's wide variety of free and Premium cocktail party invitations, you will find everything you need to throw a great cocktail party.

Follow these steps to make your cocktail party invitation stand out! Choose the right template: Start by selecting a template that best matches the tone and theme of your cocktail party. We have a number of free and Premium options for any occasion and if you want to do a DIY cocktail party invitation, you can always upload your own design. Personalize your invitation: Once you have selected your theme, you can use our Premium tools to customize the envelope, liner, stamps, stickers and backgrounds to make the cocktail party invitation your own. Fill in the details: Add the date, time and location of your cocktail party. If you are throwing a themed cocktail party, let your guests know so they can plan accordingly. And if you want them to BYOB, make that clear on the invitation.

Then, you can send the invites to your guests via email, text, or shareable link, for Premium users, right from Evite's platform. We'll track your RSVPs for you with our easy-to-use system, and remind your guests leading up to the cocktail party.

Asking guests to BYOB is never easy, and it only gets harder with a cocktail party. With that said, the best way to let your guests know to BYOB is to be clear and direct. Adding a note that says "BYOB" or, more subtly, "BYOB Encouraged," can go a long way to ensuring that your guests understand the expectations.

Wanting to see your guests over drinks after work for happy hour? Or are you hoping to break bread with them at a dinner party? Evite offers a wide variety of happy hour invitations, dinner party invitations and wine tasting party invitations to keep the good times rolling.

We recommend sending out cocktail party invitations 2–3 weeks in advance, so that your guests have time to make proper arrangements like transportation, childcare, etc.
