3 Reasons You Shouldn’t Rely on Just Social Media for Your Party Invitations

For most of us, social
media is a huge part of our lives. Many of us look at our phones before we fall
asleep and again first thing in the morning. It’s no surprise then, that many
of us use social media to organize events such as birthday parties and to curate
our guest lists. While there’s nothing wrong with using social media to help
you organize your parties, the truth is if it’s the only way you’re planning
your events, you’re going to miss out. Here are 3 reasons why you shouldn’t
rely on just social media for your party invitations.

1. It feels Really Impersonal
How many Facebook event invitations do you get a week? I actually don’t know
because I recently deleted my Facebook application after seeing The Social
Dilemma. If you’re spending a lot of time and energy into planning an event,
then the last thing you want is for people to miss out on the invite. One of
the best ways to avoid this is by creating personalized birthday invites. By investing a
little more time and effort, you know that your guests are going to receive
actual invites and probably prioritize your event over others!

2. You’ll Miss Out On Inviting People
You need to think about your guest list, is everyone actually on social
media? I’m sure you have at least some friends who are avoiding using it, or
not checking it that frequently. Likewise, if you’re trying to plan a birthday
for your mom, you’re going to find that creating beautiful 50th birthday invitations for her will work a
lot better than trying to invite her friends on Facebook, especially if many of
them don’t do social media. The most important ‘thing’ at your event is the
people and by creating custom invites you can be sure to invite everyone that’s
really important to you. I suggest incorporating a RSVP feature in your
invites, so that you can keep an eye on who’s coming to better plan your party.

3. Doesn’t Create as Much as Excitement
When you’re designing your own birthday party invites, there are so many
directions you can go with it. With a social media invitation, all you can do
is set the main image. But with actual, physical invitations there are so many
aspects you can customize, allowing you to create something that’s perfect for
your special occasion. You can choose up to 40 different envelope colors, as
well as special gold, silver or even rose gold foiling. How often do you
receive something in the mail? Chances are, most of your mail is junk mail and
bills, which makes receiving a beautiful customized invite such a special
experience.

Planning a party is a very exciting task, and creating custom invites just adds
to the excitement. Hopefully these three reasons why you shouldn’t rely on just
social media for your party invitations helps you better plan your next party.
