Book Party Invitations

A book party is a great opportunity to share the joys of reading with friends and family members alike. It also provides the hostess with the ultimate chance to send the very best in literary-themed invitations.

Personalized Invitations
As a book party is a personal occasion shared between good friends, personalized invitations are almost a prerequisite for this type of celebration. The hostess, for example, could photograph herself dressed as her favorite literary heroine (i.e., Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, etc.) and print it on the front of the invitation. Inside she could write a fictional passage that includes the party guests (i.e., “Once again the lovely Millicent offering her keen intellectual analysis of the book, while the stunning Jacqueline countered with some witty barbs,” etc.)

What To Say in the Invitations
As a book party is a celebration being planned and attended by highly literate people, the hostess should consider carefully What To Say in the Invitations. Aside from offering the basic and pertinent details of the party (i.e., time, date, place, what to bring, etc.), she should specify the book title that will be under discussion at the party; perhaps even including some discussion questions that guests can contemplate before they come.

Creative Invitation Ideas
As writing and reading are both considered creative activities, Creative Invitation Ideas should be considered when planning a book party. A hostess, for example, could consider an invite shaped like a book; a card that opens sideways to reveal the details of the festivity on its pages.

Throw the book at guests—in the nicest, most gentile way possible, of course—by planning the ultimate book party; one that comes complete with the perfect invitations.
