Dinner Party Invitations

A dinner party is an opportunity to get everyone you love in the same room and enjoy delicious food together. But before you can get into the specifics of planning a dinner party, you need to send invitations.

When you send dinner party invites, you set the mood for the party before anyone even arrives. Whether it's an elegant soirée or a casual gathering, the invitation should give guests a glimpse of what to expect. You can create Premium or free dinner party invitations for any occasion with Evite.

Dinner Party Invitations FAQs

What information should you include on dinner party invitations?

A well-crafted dinner party invitation starts by stating who the host is. The invitation should also inform guests of where and when the event is. Write the time and date to ensure guests know when to arrive so they can RSVP accordingly. Make a note of any dress code, such as if you’d like everyone to wear formal wear or if it’s a casual event. If your dinner party is potluck-style, let your guests know to bring a dish (and use Evite’s What to Bring feature to make coordinating a breeze).

Can you make your own dinner party invites?

You can create your own dinner party invitations with Evite. Regardless of the type of dinner party you’re hosting, Evite has various templates to choose from. You can create anything from cocktail party invitations to BBQ invites and include all the necessary details.

Can you personalize your dinner party invitations?

With Evite, you can customize your invitations however you like. Evite lets you choose the background of your invite and add stickers or stamps to your envelope to give your invitation a personal touch. You’ll find everything from simple invitations with a few words of text to elaborate invites with animation, so you can find a dinner party card that perfectly complements your vision.

How early should you send dinner party invites to guests?

How early you should send dinner party invites depends on the type of event you’re throwing. For instance, let’s say you’re hosting a formal dinner. In this case, you should give your guests at least three weeks' notice to respond and prepare. However, for simple gatherings, giving your guests a few days' notice or even a week’s notice is sufficient.

Evite takes all the hassle out of sending dinner party invitations. There's no need to stress filling out each dinner party card when you have 20 potential guests. Instead, you can just type in the information and send it to everyone on your list at once. Plus, you don't have to address, place a stamp, and seal each envelope when you can send an invite via text, email or shareable link.
