When to send holiday party invites?

DH and I are having a holiday party Dec 17. When is a good time to send invites (likely just an evite). I was thinking the Friday after Thanksgiving, but should I send it earlier? It's going to be very a casual, drop in for 5 minutes if you have other parties or stay the whole time if you can, so I'm not really worried about getting people to commit to our event specifically, but at the same time, I want to give plenty of notice.

Re: When to send holiday party invites?

  • i know that i already have plans for a few weekends before the holidays so i'd send it sooner rather than later.

  • I would send them ASAP.  That tends to be a REALLY busy weekend for parties and other holiday events.

  • I actually just got an invite to a December 17 holiday party yesterday.  I thought it was a tad early, but then remembered we usually send out invites for our NYE party right after Thanksgiving...

  • We're hosting our holiday party on Dec 10, and we just sent our evite a few days ago.  Like you said -- it at least gets the date on the calendar for people so they can consider it as other parties/committments come up.

  • I received an invite for a holiday party on the 10th a week or two ago. I would probably send out now.

  • Ditto everyone else - I got one for a Dec. 10 party about a week ago.

  • Thanks for the advice! I think I am going to go ahead and do it this week. I'm totally with Strug on the whole #respectthebird movement, but I feel like a Christmas party invite is an okay (and necessary) thing to send out before Thanksgiving.
