Garden Party Invitations

A garden party invitation sets the tone for a leisurely afternoon outdoors—whether it's an intimate tea gathering, a summer soirée among the flowers, or a casual celebration with friends. The right design bridges the gap between formal occasion and relaxed outdoor setting, letting natural beauty lead the way.

Starts from: “You're hosting a garden party for 40 guests at your home in Atherton on Saturday, June 15th at 3 PM, and you want the invitation to feel elegant but not stuffy.” — edit anything once it’s designed.

Three directions — different wording, different design

Good to know

What should guests wear to a garden party?

Garden attire strikes the right balance—think dressy sundresses, linen suits, or elegant casual wear that's comfortable outdoors. Closed-toe shoes are practical for grass or gravel. Your invitation can specify the dress code to guide guests, and RevelPost makes it easy to include that detail front-and-center on your card.

How do I handle RSVPs for an outdoor event?

Garden parties benefit from a firm RSVP deadline, typically two to three weeks before the event. Include a phone number and email address, or use RevelPost's digital RSVP feature to track responses, send reminders, and gather dietary restrictions or other details in a single, organized place.

Should I mention weather contingencies on the invitation?

If there's any possibility of moving indoors or postponing, a brief note on the invitation—or a follow-up message closer to the date—shows thoughtfulness. RevelPost's reminder feature lets you send updates to guests without resending the entire invitation.

Make it yours in one sentence.
