Sending your VIP invitations

Once you’ve perfected your VIP invite, it’s time to send it to your guests. We recommend sending your online VIP event invitations 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Upload your guest list or sync your contacts, then hit send. Our RSVP tracker and guest messaging make it easy to keep track of your guests so you can get back to more important details.

When to host a VIP reception

There are so many ways to celebrate the VIPs in your life. If you’re opting for a cocktail reception, we suggest a weeknight just after work. Thursdays or Fridays are the sweet spots. Hosting an appreciation lunch? Aim for something midweek around noon for best attendance. Planning a client appreciation open house? Start your weekday mid-morning and plan to keep the drinks flowing until late afternoon. Whenever you plan to host, be sure to send your VIP reception invitations 6 to 8 weeks ahead for best attendance.

It’s the little things that mean the most, so don’t miss out on this simple way to say thanks to your VIPs. Send a VIP reception invitation to show your appreciation. Take the time to personalize your online invite the same way they take the time for you.
