Drinks, music and good conversation: a design with the evening's dress code, when to arrive and a reply card, for a party at home, on a rooftop or at your favourite bar.
A short guide
Name the hosts, then write the date, the start and end times, the address and a reply date. Add the dress code and a clear word about food, such as “cocktails and hors d’oeuvres”. One witty opening line suits this kind of party, but keep the hours easy to spot, as they tell guests the plan.
It generally sits between casual and black tie. Men often wear a dark suit or a smart jacket, and women a knee-length dress, an elegant jumpsuit or dressy separates. Expectations differ by city and crowd, so add a word or two if you mean something looser, such as “dressy casual” or “festive cocktail”.
Two to three hours is typical, and early evening is the classic time, such as 6 to 8 or 7 to 10 pm. Putting the end time on the invitation helps people plan dinner afterwards and gives you a graceful close. If the night may run on, you can always keep pouring for those who stay.

Tell us the occasion, the colours and the mood. Design Genie, our AI designer, drafts one invitation with painted artwork and characters that come alive, usually in under ten minutes; ask for a revision if you like, and fill in the details as usual. $19.99 when you publish; nothing to pay to see the drafts.
