Top 5 Ways to be 1st on Calendars for Your Holiday Party

You know that your holiday party or event will be competing with many other's. So how do you get guests to RSVP for your shindig when they have so many choices? Here are the Party Girl's Top 5 ways to be first on friends’ calendars for your holiday party!

1. Send the invitation really early, duh—they won’t even be able to think of an excuse.  And if they do…cross them off your list.
2. Say “space is limited”…it may not be, but a little white lie never hurts when it comes to packing the room.
3. Add “by invitation only” to the invitation itself…that makes any guest feel special.
4. List the menu (if it’s good)…food is the best enticement; truthfully, I go to open houses and parties (corporate or private) just to eat.
5. Mail the invitation with something memorable (like mistletoe or an antler headband).  You’ll get noticed and everyone will know out of the box (you will have to mail it in a box) that this is going to be a great party!

One extra tip, throw a really great party this year. That way everyone will remember it when the invite rolls in next year and they  will leap at the chance to attend! Party411.com is chock full of holiday party planning ideas to help you plan the best party ever!
