There are plenty of occasions where it is important to have a original invitation to send. A good invitation is more than just a message. You would like to share something of the atmosphere of the experience. With these tips you can ensure an original invitation.
1. Balance between image and words
If you want to send an original invitation, it is important to think carefully about what exactly you want to communicate.
On the front of the invitation you usually give a first hint about the subject of the invitation. This short message is often accompanied by a striking photo or matching drawing.
It is important not to use too much text in your invitation. Make sure the recipient gets the information he or she needs and wants to know. Then choose an image that fits well with the text. A design that nicely connects these elements makes it complete.
Are you not sure how to approach this? Then you can of course choose to outsource everything to a company that specializes in this. If you prefer to keep everything in your own hands, ask for some feedback on your own designs in your direct environment.
2. Paper, digital or both?
In the past, invitations were always sent on paper. Of course, you could pay extra attention to the quality of the paper and the envelope, but that was where the options for an original invitation ended.
Times have changed and more and more invitations are sent digitally by e-mail. An easy way, which also does not cost you any stamps, but one with some catches. For example, how do you know for sure that your invitation by e-mail will actually be opened and read?
Special invitations are often sent the old-fashioned way by post. Simply because the occasion is too special to send by email. And if you really want to stand out, you can use a PixioCard naturally combining paper and video.

Of course, you know exactly for which occasion you are sending an invitation and what is so special about it. But is this also so obvious to the recipient? Therefore, briefly mention what the occasion is exactly and why you would like to celebrate it together with the recipient.
