o come to my party

Yes, it's already time to start thinking about your holiday party. Look at it this way: The sooner your invitation goes out to your guests, the more likely they are to go to your party instead of someone else's. How, you ask? If they've said yes to your invitation first, they'll have to say no to whomever is also having a party that night. It's practically bulletproof!

The first hurdle to getting your party off the ground is choosing the right invitation, so we thought we'd help you out with that. (You're welcome.) These are some of our favorite invites for just about any kind of holiday party.

Take, for instance, the invitation above. It's simple, elegant and not specific to any one holiday. If you're throwing a fancy party for coworkers or any diverse crowd, this is the invitation for you.

Holiday cocktails:

This is one of our most popular holiday invitations so far this year. Who can say no to a cute pun, festive colors and an invitation to get a little tipsy with friends?

Cookie exchange:

I don't know about you, but my cookies never look this beautiful. You may be luring your guests in under false pretenses, but it's the taste that counts, right? No matter what your cookies will look like, this invitation will be difficult to resist.

Family-friendly party:

Cute, mechanical elves. Candy canes. Presents. This design has everything a kid wants in a holiday party. Plus, the graphic is animated, so your guests will get to watch the little elves march across the screen. It's strangely hypnotic.

Gift exchange:

Straightforward and sweet. We can even help you keep your secret Santa a secret with our gift exchange feature. Just make sure you select "Gift Exchange" for your theme, and a box will appear where you can add the feature to your invite.

Hanukkah / winter wonderland:

Want to make sure your guests don't ignore your invite? Catch their eye with something shiny! This design is brand new and already one of our favorites. Lovely, six-pointed stars could mean Hanukkah, but they're also great for a holiday-neutral winter wonderland.
 

Reluctant holiday party:

By the time December rolls around, everyone's thinking it. Why not just put it right out there, Scrooge. If your friends are into irony and sarcasm, they'll appreciate this invitation. If they don't get that sense of humor, it could crush the holiday spirit right out of them.
