Anniversary Party Invitation including Those Who Cannot Attend
Many couples that had a big wedding loose any regular contact with those folks that attended and participated in their wedding. The wedding was a wonderful event full of excitement and fun. Those that played a part in the event have special memories and thoughts that can enhance an anniversary celebration. It can be grandparents, best man, bridesmaids, flower girls, uncles, aunts, best friends, and many more that played a part in the wedding day being remembered.
Here is a idea on how to use an invitation for an anniversary party to allow those who cannot actually physically participate to add their memories of the wedding.
When putting together an anniversary party invitation try to find out about all the people that attended. Maybe there is a guest book list that you can study. Talk to the couple whose anniversary is coming up and try to get them to talk about all people they can remember that were there. Try to not let it be known what you are scheming in order to preserve some of the surprise excitement for the party.
Then when you create your invitations include a special RSVP card. Include a request on your invitation which explains that the RSVP card has room for those who cannot attend to reply with a small note about their memories of the special couple’s wedding day. Tell them their reply notes will be read at the anniversary so they can participate in spirit and add to the merrymaking at the event.
Then when you start to receive the RSVP replies, you will need to collect them, review them, and prepare for presentation. Plan a time at the anniversary festivities to read these notes for all to enjoy their thoughts and memories. The results will be like having the family and friends that could not attend, be there in spirit enriching the occasion.
At a wedding anniversary party you are remembering and celebrating a special wedding day, but in these modern times friends and family live great distances from each other. It can be quite difficult to actually make a trip to participate in anniversary celebrations on a regular basis or even on a major milestone anniversary. The celebration though can be very rich in memories when sharing the thoughts of far away family and friends that were at the wedding. So, please consider this idea when creating anniversary party invitations so you can enrich the occasion with more fun memories.
