You cannot go wrong with roller skating when it comes to your next party. It’s one of the best ways to celebrate and bond with the people who matter to you the most and have some fun. However, the planning leading up to the party can be pretty challenging.
Sending out invitations to your guests is one of the tasks that you’ll have to do so that you and your guests are ready for your special day.
While it is an often overlooked aspect to a party, it can really help everyone not only plan ahead, but also get excited for the event.
In this article, we’ll take you through top roller skating party invitation wording ideas you should know and how to word your invitations.
What do you say in a party invitation?
Before we can think about creative wording, we have to make sure we include the essential details about the party itself.
At the very least, you should have your name, the type of party, date and time, location, dress code, and RSVP details. Letting your guests know this information ahead of time will make it easier for them to decide whether they can attend or not.
You would also benefit from knowing who and how many will come to your event, which will help with arranging any food catering and other supplies needed.
Your name
Your guests will want to know who is hosting the party. Otherwise, they would be confused as to who sent them the invitation and why they are being invited in the first place.
If the invite is through email, they are less likely to open it if there is no name in the subject line.
Depending on who you’re sending the invitation to, you can choose to either put just your first name or both your first and last names.
Friends and family are more likely to recognize you just by your first name than others outside of your circle.
Name of the person invited (optional)
For a more personal touch, you can insert the name of the person you’re inviting into the invite.
Although not necessary, your guest will be appreciative and touched that you had thought of them when planning for your party and are more likely to respond to the invite if addressed directly.
Keep in mind that this option may not be as economical as you would have to print out separate invitations for each individual invited.
Contact information
If your guests have any questions, you should provide them with the contact information they can reach you at. While this is based on your own preferences, party planners usually provide their phone number, email address, or both on the invitation.
This will come especially in handy on the day of the party if your guests get lost on the way to the event or need clarification on any details.
Type of party
You should also convey what kind of party you’ll be hosting, its theme, and its purpose on the invitation.
This is an important detail to have so that your guests can prepare their outfits and potentially other items they will bring to the event.
In this section, you also want to outline any special rules or requirements for the party if necessary.
Date and time
The next most essential piece of information your guests will need is the date and time of the party.
While the way we normally write out dates can vary, it should be obvious when your party is occurring.
Include the day of the week, time, and have it in a format that most people would recognize. If your party is only within a certain timeframe, make sure to specify that too.
Remember to double and even triple-check yourself that the day correlates with the date you’re providing.
You can also provide a backup date if the first one doesn’t work out.
Location
In order for you to have guests at your party, they should be able to know where it is. Giving them the location name and address will help them find your event.
If the event is located somewhere that people may not be familiar with, you should include the directions with a map in the envelope with the invitation.
They will most likely navigate to the event location on their phones, but it is still a nice touch to do so anyway.
Food and beverages
Letting your guests know about the food situation will help them plan beforehand if they’re expected to bring something (like with a potluck) or whether they should come hungry or full.
This would also give your guests the opportunity to inform you of any food allergies or dietary restrictions they have so you can accommodate accordingly.
Dress code
No one likes to be the odd one out at a party, especially in their outfit choice.
If you have a party theme or dress code, make sure to mention it in your invitation. Be clear in what is or isn’t expected so that there are no surprises come the day of.
You don’t have to go into specific details, but even dropping be a clue like “90s theme” or “roller disco” will give your guests an idea of how they should dress.
RSVP details
Ask your guests to RSVP at the end of your invitation so that you’ll know if they will be attending. Provide them details on how to RSVP and a deadline by which they should respond.
Other special instructions (optional)
Because each party is different, you may need to mention additional details on your invitation that we may not have covered above.
This could include requirements for guests to come prepared with things other than food, whether they are allowed to bring additional guests, whether parents or caretakers should leave or stay at the party, and/or if it is a surprise party.
If you want your party to be as smooth sailing as possible, having these details on your invitation will ensure that your guests are on the same page as you.
