There’s something very exciting about filling out an invitation - and it’s even more exciting to receive one. In a world of e-vites and texting the art of the physical invitation was lost. Sure we still receive physical invitations for weddings - but why not for a cocktail party?

I’ve always admired vintage invitations. The design elements are so fun and timeless - plus there’s an invite for every occasion and theme imaginable. But for this edition, we’re focusing on cocktails.

Even if it’s a party for 6 or a party for 16 - an invitation builds anticipation that Partiful could never. Fill them out and pop them in the mail - or keep them in your bag for when you run into friends.

Here are some of my picks for vintage invitations that are available for purchase through the links. Hopefully these will inspire you to have company in the near future.

Now go plan a party!
