I wanted a particular color palette. And this was perfect. I sent it out early enough that everyone would have it in hand as a unifying blessing on Thanksgiving Day. This wasn't something I'd be able to find in a card shop. It was perfect!
This card is versatile, and I adapted it for a Thanksgiving dinner invitation. The colors were perfect to match my planned tablesetting. I was also able to change the background color on both front and back.
It is so pretty and the back makes it look so put together even though it was not expensive! I am very excited to show my family their Thanksgiving invitations.

A Thanksgiving invitation should include the host's name, the date and time, the venue address, and RSVP requirements, if necessary. Food and shared dinners are a big part of the holiday, so invite your guests to forward any dietary restrictions or preferences early on, allowing you to prepare alternative options. If you're sending out potluck party invitations, make that especially clear, so that nobody arrives empty-handed. You can also ask for specific contributions to the potluck, such as a side dish, a favorite dish, or a dessert.
On the front of the invitation, and before you list out the exact event details, explicitly state the reason for the correspondence: "Please join us for a Thanksgiving party" or "We invite you and your family to join us for a Thanksgiving celebration." You can also open with a funny or wholesome greeting or heading to set the tone, such as "Time to Gobble 'Till You Wobble" or "Thankful. Grateful. Blessed." Each Thanksgiving template on Zazzle comes ready-made with placeholder text you can adapt or swap out for your own, so you'll have a framework for everything you need to include.
Compared to Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving is an informal, casual celebration with more of a party atmosphere. Rather than having to take place on the last Thursday in November, Friendsgiving can take place in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving or in the days directly after it, to avoid any overlap. Friendsgiving is about showing appreciation for your friends and chosen family, making it a fun alternative if you can't get back to your hometown for Thanksgiving. You could also have a Thanksgiving and a Friendsgiving party, and use Zazzle Events to coordinate both. This app makes planning multiple parties a lot easier, as you can send digital invites, track RSVPs, and set auto-reminders from your phone.
Family members will make up most of your guest list for a Thanksgiving party. Those living with you won't need a formal invite, of course, but if you want to host grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, or cousins, let them know early so they can make arrangements. Spouses and long-term partners are welcome, unless they have plans with their own family, and if you want to give single guests the option of a plus-one, say that they're free to bring a friend. Neighbors can also be a thoughtful addition to the guest list, especially if they're new to the area or don't have family nearby. If you're planning an office potluck for your workplace in early November, be sure to invite everyone, even if they don't all need to bring a dish. Alternatively, save your company guest list for December and send out holiday invitations then instead.
Thanksgiving invitations should be sent out 3 to 4 weeks in advance, allowing guests time to make travel arrangements or organize their schedule, and allowing you time to gather everything you need. Halloween is a good benchmark: order your Thanksgiving invitations in the last week or two of October and send them out when Halloween is over. This prevents any confusion about which party they're being invited to and lets them finish up their Halloween plans before they think about the next holiday.
Provided your Thanksgiving invite is a paper product or a thin magnetic invitation, you can have your order manufactured and shipped in 1 to 2 business days with Zip and Zip PLUS. These services push your order to the front of the manufacturing queue and cut the production time frame to 6 hours (Zip PLUS) or 24 hours (Zip). If you don't opt for Zip shipping, then Thanksgiving invites take 2 business days to manufacture, with acrylic and foil designs taking 3 business days. You'll then have to factor in the estimated time frames for Standard (4 to 7 business days), Premium (2 to 3 business days), and Express (1 to 2 business days) shipping. Want the best of both worlds? Use the 'Choose Your Format' dropdown on the product page to order an Instant Download as well, which gives you immediate access to a digital copy of your design. The printed invite will still be worth having as an 'analog' option and as a keepsake.
The price of a single Thanksgiving invitation is mainly dependent on the format and finish. A flat 5 x 7 inch invite with Squared corners is approximately $2.71; however, a 5 x 7 foil invitation or an acrylic invite in the Rectangle shape could be $3.15. This can also be higher if you choose Scalloped or Ticket corners for your flat card, which adds $0.25 to the price, or if you choose HD printing, which adds $0.40. However, the price of almost every Zazzle product is reduced considerably at higher quantities and due to promotional discounts which we run all year round. The bulk discount is noted in the 'Qty:' dropdown, in blue font, while the promotional discount is in red font, above the name of the product. These savings could be as much as 50%, but if both the bulk and promotional discounts are applicable, only the greater discount will be applied.
If the problem is the fault of Zazzle or its carriers (such as a print defect or a product damaged in transit), then you're entitled to a credit, refund, or replacement within 30 days of delivery. Simply contact our customer service team and they'll be happy to facilitate a resolution. If you're not happy with the invite for another reason, or if the error was on your side (for example, you accidentally provided the wrong information), then you're entitled to the same resolutions once you select Worry-Free Design Review and Delivery at checkout. Ordering a sample first and choosing Worry-Free Design Review and Delivery are the best ways to ensure your invitations look perfect when sent out.
