Holiday parties compete with every other party of the season, so the invitations that go out first — with clear details — tend to win the Saturday.

Schedule your invitation to send when you're ready, remind anyone who hasn't replied, and use a sign-up sheet for the potluck or cookie swap.

Holiday Party invitation FAQ

When should you send holiday party invitations?

For a December party, four to six weeks ahead is common because weekends book quickly. Outside the busiest weeks, three to four weeks is usually enough.

How do I organize a gift exchange through the invitation?

Put the rules in the invitation details — the price limit and the type of swap — and use a sign-up sheet if people need to claim roles or items.
