When my best friend and I planned to combine our thirtieth birthdays into one party, we were able to do almost everything online! Whenever I host any type of event, I usually create an email invitation at www.evite.com. However, we wanted to do something special this time around.
She came over one night so that we could plan together and brainstorm. I hopped online using my hughes satellite to find some invitation ideas. We found a favorite picture of us when we traveled throughout Europe together. In fact, it was the perfect picture for an invitation because we were raising our glasses! We went to www.snapfish.com and uploaded the photo to create a photo card invitation. Then we added our own text to finalize the invitations, including a line requesting that guests bring a dish to pass in lieu of a gift. This would make our friends feel more comfortable and save us money on food.
However, we still had to provide some adult beverages. Most of our friends are wine drinkers. At the time, I was working for a direct sales company whose product was wine! It was easy to order the best-selling wines and have them delivered to my door. The planning process was much easier than we expected. In fact, the most difficult and time consuming task was addressing the invitations!
