What should I include on my party invitations?

Charlie Scola (Event Planner, Charlie Scola Catering) gives expert video advice on: What is an 'invitation'?; What should I consider when choosing invitations?; What is a 'save the date' notice? and more...

The information that you should put on an invitation is naturally the date, the time, where the location is, and a little map always helps. Also, I like to tell people what they should be wearing, aside from what they're eating, whether it's a buffet, whether it's just a cocktail party, or perhaps it's just champagne and desserts. This is helpful for people so that they can prepare to come to your party properly.
