What should I include in my Memorial Day weekend invitations?
Besides the more basic details like the date, time and location of your party, you should also include a What to Bring list, if applicable, as well as the activities for your event. If you're expecting to serve food for a large group of people, adding a note about accommodations for dietary restrictions could be a good way to make everyone feel welcome.
