Cocktail Party Invitations

Cocktail invitations get to be the most stylish card you send — short on words, long on atmosphere. State the hours (cocktails have an end time), the dress, and let the design do the rest.

Starts from: “Evening cocktail party, martinis and jazz, semi-formal, Friday 7 to 10 PM, art deco glamour” — edit anything once it’s designed.

Three directions — different wording, different design

Good to know

What does 'regrets only' mean on an invitation?

Guests reply only if they can't come — silence means yes. It suits big casual lists; for anything with a headcount (food, seats), ask for a proper RSVP instead.

Should a cocktail party invitation list an end time?

Yes — 'seven until ten' is part of the form. It tells guests it's not dinner and gives the evening its shape.

Make it yours in one sentence.

Every example above regenerates as your event — your names, your venue, your date, verified.
