Facebook Invites Don't Count

Yes, I did send you an invite to Facebook when I hit that "share with all" button, but even I know that's just not enough.  At best, sending out a Facebook invitation is a reminder, and should never be done before you have extended an actual invitation to an event.

A proper invitation is one of the most important elements for an event because it sets the tone and provides guests with crucial information.

Traditionally,  an invitation should go out six to eight weeks before a major event.  However if you are hosting a smaller affair, such as a chapter dinner or fun event that only a few people will be attending, two weeks is the minimum.

Invest in some lovely paper, get a real address, and take the time to send a proper invitation.  It shows your guests that you really care.
