9 Happily-Ever-After Party Invitations Full of Whimsy and Joy
You’ve eloped or had your official wedding ceremony, and now it’s time to ask your loved ones to join you for a celebration of all things love, romance, fairytale, and whimsy. To do this, you’ll need the perfect happily-ever-after party invitations — and we know just how to find them.
Consider this your go-to guide. We’re sharing our best advice, wording inspiration, and beautiful happily-ever-after invite designs that you can customize to your heart’s content.
How to Create Your Dream Happily-Ever-After Party Invitations
Happily-ever-after parties are different from your typical wedding reception party, but for the most part, the process for choosing and sending invites is the same. Here’s how to approach designing, customizing, and sending your happily-ever-after party invitations.
Choose Digital Invitations
When it comes to wedding reception invitations (and any invites!), we’re big fans of switching to digital invitations. When you go digital, you avoid all the usual pitfalls of traditional or printable invites — like selecting cardstock, paying for bespoke invites, waiting for Etsy invites to arrive, or mailing invites out to loved ones across the country.
Digital invitations allow you to get the word out to your favorite people in minutes, instead of waiting around. They’re also highly environmentally friendly and cost effective too.
At Greenvelope, we have so many wonderful online invitations that you can transform into a happily-ever-after party invite. And if you want to send out thank you cards afterward, you can often do so in style with matching wedding invitation suites.
Find a Design You Love
You’re not limited by happily-ever-after party invitation designs. In fact, the whole world is your oyster — all our invitation templates are customizable so you can choose any design you like and make it your own.
Explore our collection of wedding day invitations to find a design to suit your style and personality. Whether it’s romantic, floral, woodland, boho, minimalist, or any other theme, there’s an invitation to match.
Or expand your horizons and look through our invitations for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, engagement parties, or even holiday parties. Whichever design you choose, you’re only a few edits away from your dream happily-ever-after party invites.
Customize Your Invites
Once you’ve found a design that you enjoy, you can really make it your own with a few quick customizations.
Change the font, style, and colors. Experiment with the layout. Add your own wedding photos. There’s so much you can do with our template editor, and it’s all available right within your Greenvelope dashboard.
You can even work with one of our designers for more advanced customizations.
Add Your Own Personalized Invitation Wording
Another lovely way to personalize your happily-ever-after party invitations is with your own custom wording. Instead of a simple “Join us to celebrate,” consider how you can make the wording feel more unique to you and your chosen theme or party.
Not sure where to get started? Here are some ideas for you:
- Join us for our after-wedding party!
- We couldn’t wait to wed, but we’d love to celebrate with you!
- Celebrate our everlasting love at our own magical party.
- You’re invited to the fairytale get-together of the century!
- We’ve said our vows, now it’s time to join us as we sing, dance, and laugh the night away!
Use these wording ideas as is, or add your own personal touch to them before including all the finer wedding afterparty details.
Share All the Essential Details
Many wedding or party invitations don’t give you much room to provide all the details. With a happily-ever-after party invite, it’s even more important to let guests know what it’s all about, in case it’s a phrase they haven’t heard before.
With Greenvelope, you can keep your invites crystal clear and still include all the information by using our details panel. This handy feature gives you space to share a link to your wedding website or photo gallery, along with details about transport, hotels, and dress code.
Give Your Guests an Easy Way to RSVP
You’ll be so busy in that post-wedding period that you won’t want to be answering phone calls or chasing your guest list for RSVPs. Let Greenvelope take care of the wedding party admin for you.
Guests can excitedly RSVP yes or give their regrets and say no with just a few clicks — no traditional RSVP card required! And with this setup, you can keep all your guest list details up to date and in one place.
Plus, with automated reminder emails, you can send a nudge via text or email to guests who haven’t replied yet.
