Dinner party invitations
A dinner gathering starts with a clear invitation to the table. Confirm the dinner format, arrival time and whether guests should share dietary requirements beforehand.
Arrival and dinner times
If drinks or another gathering precede dinner, include both times. Pair the address with the venue name and keep any dress preference brief and specific.
Count invitations and menus separately
An invitation can address a couple, while menus can be placed per guest or per table. Provide menu wording after dishes are agreed and verify names with the person responsible for the food.
Questions about your selection
Does the invitation need the full menu?
A description of the evening format is usually enough. If the menu is long or still changing, keep it for a separate card after the dishes are agreed.
How can I ask about dietary requirements?
Ask guests to tell the organizer about requirements when replying. Pass confirmed details to the person handling food rather than displaying them on shared cards.
