Location<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
Considering the location of your venue is a great starting point if you\u2019re wanting to match your party invitations. Heading into the countryside? A natural motif of wheat or greenery is a perfect reflection of the scenery. Inner city? Something gritty and urban might be what you\u2019re after. The botanical gardens? Floral birthday invitations are perfect. Of course, if you\u2019re just having your birthday party at your home, this might not be the method for you (depending where you live, and if your guests are traveling to be there).<\/p>\n
Matching the location is more important if the location is a heavy feature of the venue, with big windows or indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces bringing the outside in. Chances are, if the location is an integral part of the venue, you\u2019ll know it the moment you walk into the place. When choosing your invites, think about what caught your attention when you first entered the space and channel that into your party invitations. <\/p>\n
Formality<\/b><\/h2>\n
![\"party](\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/VMB2-768x768.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
How formal is the venue you\u2019re going to be using? A ballroom in the city\u2019s fanciest hotel is going to call for a very different invitation to a local dive bar or trendy cafe. If you\u2019re not sure, think about what sort of dress code you are going to ask your guests to adhere to. Is this a suit and tie venue, or a t-shirt and jeans venue? Cater your invitation accordingly. <\/p>\n
Party invitations should communicate how formal the event is going to be through both design and wording. A premium print technique like letterpress or foil stamping is perfect for communicating luxury and formality to your guests. Traditional wording is the other half of this classy equation. Think something like Dear Emma, your presence is requested as we celebrate the thirtieth birthday of Georgia Louise Raymond, at six thirty pm on Saturday the twenty-fifth of March, two thousand and eighteen. <\/i>Receiving a birthday party invitation like this sets the scene perfectly. <\/p>\nDecor<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
What sort of decor does your venue come with? This can be anything from bunting and balloons put up specially for your event, to the existing light fittings, furniture, and art. Think about shapes and themes throughout the decor. Is the furniture luxe and upholstered, or is it industrial metal? Are there chandeliers or exposed bulbs? Take your birthday invitation cues from the decor on show at the venue, and everything will match without being identical. <\/p>\n
Again, think about what drew your attention the first moment you entered the venue. What are the features of the decor? Do they have statement sculptures on the bar, giant bookshelves from floor to ceiling, stunning couches in the entry, or a whole seating area made entirely from glass? Do they light the entire space using only candles or lanterns? Are there lights that oscillate with the music? These are the sort of things that are perfect to channel in your birthday invites. <\/p>\n
Colour scheme<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
What colour scheme is in place at your venue of choice? It\u2019s always best to work with the existing colour scheme and not try to fight against it. It pays to follow this principle with your birthday invitations as well. You don\u2019t have to be completely literal with it: green walls don\u2019t have to mean that you choose green invitations. Think about colour families and colours that complement one another. You might choose white invitations with a similar green in the font. Or you may even go for the contrasting red that the venue uses for cushions, artwork and other accents. <\/p>\n
With a little bit of careful thought, your birthday invitations will be completely cohesive with your venue choice and your entire event will look intricately styled. <\/p>\n
