Incorporate Humor

• While traditional invitations serve their purpose, injecting some humor into the invitation can help make it stand apart from others. Consider what makes you laugh and what might make your invitees laugh. If the event is catering to a specific crowd or theme, such as golf, consider making the invitation in the shape of a golf ball or include a golf-related joke on the cover of the invitation.
  
  

Handmade Invitations

• Create event invitations that are handmade by using materials such as glue and construction paper. These types of invitations are unique and one-off; no invitation is like the other. This helps create a keepsake that invitees can hold on to so they can remember the event and its good times in the future. It also shows the recipient that special time and attention were spent on creating something unique for them.
  
  

Themed Invitations

• If you're holding an event that's related to a holiday or theme, such as Halloween, consider creating invitations that follow the same theme. If you're creating the invitation for a Halloween party, for example, consider modifying the copy of the invitation so that instead of saying something like "men and women welcome," say "vampires and vampiresses welcome." You can also modify the color and type face of the invitation to make it appear more ghoulish and ghastly.
  
  

Magnetic Invitations

• Creating smaller invitations and printing them on magnetic surfaces is another way to create an invitation that people won't forget. It also allows them to affix the invitation to their refrigerator or cubicle so that they'll be less likely to forget. Not only does it serve as a constant reminder of the event, it also acts as a piece of memorabilia from the event that attendees can hold on to for future memories.
