I know that online invitations sent via text are fast and easy. But a beautiful printed card says "This will be special." These wonderful invitations told my guests that I cared enough to go the extra step! And Zazzle’s cards are perfect, from the style and font to the bright ink colors. And your personalization tools let me be the designer. I’ll be ordering again for my next holiday party!
I always order my holiday invitations for my party from Zazzle. They never disappoint.
They were beautiful! I have been ordering our invites and holiday cards for our employees and vendors for years now. It's so easy to pick a theme and personalize it.

And for 100% satisfaction, opt into Worry-Free Design Review and Delivery, which guarantees a replacement, credit, or refund within 60 days if you’re unhappy for any reason.
Include a brief greeting, followed by the time, date, and venue, the reason for the event, and RSVP details. People may want to bring a gift to a Christmas or holiday party, so if you’d rather they didn’t, say so: "No gifts please; just bring yourselves!" Word the invite to directly address who’s being invited, too. Announce that "you and your family are invited…" if you want children and partners to attend, or mention that "you and a guest are welcome…" if they’re encouraged to bring plus-ones. You can also note that "this will be an adults-only party" if you want to keep expenses down or let guests relax without having to entertain kids.
Holiday party invitations should be sent out 4 weeks in advance. For example, if you’re hosting an event in the first or second week of December, send your invites by the first or second week of November. This gives guests ample time to plan around work and other social commitments. For more formal events, 6 to 8 weeks’ notice is a better benchmark. Guests may want time to arrange outfits, book travel and accommodation, or schedule hair and makeup appointments. You may also need time to coordinate with venues and caterers and to finalize your headcount.
In a family-and-friends context, and provided you know that your guests also celebrate Christmas, it’s okay to call it a "Christmas party." However, in a corporate setting, or when you’re not sure of everyone’s beliefs or backgrounds, "holiday party" is the more inclusive term. It covers the many events that take place throughout November and December, including Diwali and Kwanzaa, and is likely to make guests from those traditions feel more welcome. Many companies also hold their holiday parties in January or February, when their busiest season is over, so in that case you could say "New Year’s party," "winter party," or "end-of-year party."
Printed invites can feel more intentional and considerate, but digital invites are a convenient and cost-effective choice for office parties, especially if you’re inviting 200 or 300 colleagues. If much of the company works remotely or on a hybrid schedule, handing out invites in person might not be practical, so emailing the invitation may be an easier way to communicate the key details. To purchase your design as an Instant Download, just select that option from the ‘Choose Your Format’ dropdown on a product page. The Zazzle Events app can also be used to distribute invites, issue auto-reminders, and set up a group chat. Your colleagues don’t need to download the app to respond, helping you collect RSVPs quickly.
With our fastest shipping speed, Zip PLUS, your invites can be with you in as little as 1 business day, including production. Lower tiers, on the other hand, will take more time: Standard (4 to 7 working days); Premium (2 to 3 working days); Express (1 to 2 working days); Zip (1 to 2 working days with expedited production). To get real-time estimates for your location and a breakdown of every delivery speed, click the link that reads ‘Order today with expedited shipping…’ on any page and enter your ZIP code. These estimates are more accurate as they also take specific production time frames into account. For example, an all-in-one invite takes 2 working days to manufacture, a foil invite takes 3, and a letterpress card takes 4.
A single 5 x 7 holiday invitation with Square corners is about $2.71 on average. This will be higher if you choose another Corner Style, such as Scalloped edges (+$0.25) and a premium Paper Type (+$0.59 for Premium Linen), and this price is also subject to shipping costs and an optional Worry-Free Design Review and Delivery fee. However, customers rarely buy just one invite, and therefore a quantity discount is often applicable (for example: 20% for 40 flat, non-foil invites and 30% for 50 flat, non-foil invites). If a quantity discount isn’t applicable, a promotional discount is usually available. Subscribing to Zazzle Plus is another way to reduce the cost of your order, as you can save with a 30-day free trial and $10 account credit as a sign-up bonus.
Ordering with enough time to spare is the best way to pre-empt any problems and ensure a smooth run-up to your event. That said, if your invitations arrive damaged, defective, or late, then the Zazzle Promise entitles you to a refund, replacement, or account credit within 30 days of delivery. If you opted for Worry-Free Design Review and Delivery at checkout, then it’s possible to request one of the same resolutions for any reason, within 60 days this time. Just contact our customer service team, and we’ll be happy to facilitate whichever you prefer. Alternatively, have your design emailed to you as an Instant Download, ready to share online or print in a local store.
Yes. Scroll past the main product image to see the Shop This Collection menu, which allows you to order a complementary design on another product, and the Transfer Design to a Product menu, which lets you put your current design on another product, such as an envelope. If the product isn’t part of a matching collection, visit the envelopes page and click on the ‘Events and Occasions’ filter to narrow your search, first by ‘Holidays’ and then by a named event. Decorated envelopes with free Guest Addressing can also be added to your cart by clicking ‘Get Started’ next to the caption "Add Addressable Envelopes with FREE Contact Addressing." Our flat, magnetic, acrylic, and trifold invitations also come with complimentary blank white envelopes.
