When planning for a wine tasting event, the guest list should ideally be finalized at least two weeks beforehand in order to assure that everything needed for the event is available. Also, having the guest list put together in advance helps the host or hostess get a feel for the type of guests they are having, and therefore assists with the event planning even more. An innovative and fun way for a host to invite guests is to send out printed wine tasting invitations for their event.

You can find multiple sites online that will print the invitations free of charge, or you can visit stationary stores and order them from there. Hosts can also add more significance to the event by creating custom cards to fit the theme of their party.

The Importance of The Invitation

The wine tasting invitation may carry more significance than one might think in regards to getting guests to attend. If the host puts a lot of work into creating the invitations for the event, the guests will believe that the host is taking the wine tasting event seriously. Also, the host is more likely to receive wine gifts from their guests, which is considered proper etiquette. The style of the invitation helps set the mood for what the event will be like, and will be an indicator for the type of attire that the guests should wear.

The following details should be included on the wine tasting invitation: the date, location, theme, and any notes that the host wants to communicate to the guests. An RSVP section is usually placed on most wine tasting invitations so the guests can inform the host that they will be attending.

Designing Wine Tasting Invitation Cards

There are a number of different styles and designs that can be used for invitation cards. The kind of event it is generally determines which style and design will be used. Most wine tasting events are centered around a theme that is indicated on the invitations. A elegant and sophisticated theme is most commonly used, requiring the guest to submit the card for acceptance.

In this scenario, a simple design is used for the cards to give off elegance. Antique wine tasting is another theme that is commonly used, it involves the serving of very rare, aged, and expensive wines. The design of the cards for this type of event will be most likely be integrated with pictures of antique wine bottles and consist of darker color.
