Invitations not only inform your guests of an event, but pique their interest in the theme of the party. Whether you are throwing a Luau, getting married on the beach or having a pool party, tropical invitations will get your guests excited about the party. By using beach items and bright, tropical colors, your invitations will announce your tropical event in style. Does this Spark an idea?
Wedding Invitations
For a wedding taking place in a tropical locale, try to give your guests a glimpse of your wedding paradise. Send out the wedding announcements on postcards from the city or resort where the ceremony will take place. For a more formal invitation, use colored paper to print your announcement. Tie a piece of twine in a bow around the paper invitation. Place the paper card inside a decorative wooden box. Fill the box with sand and include some small seashells or tropical silk flowers inside as well. A simple, printed card can be elegant too. Have your invitations embossed with a seashell or hibiscus flower. Tie a bow around the card with ribbon and attach a small seashell or starfish to the ribbon. Place the card in a brightly colored envelope.
Other Parties
For pool parties or tropical-themed birthday parties, make the invitations exciting and playful. Write the invitation on a flip-flop sandal, and place it in a flat box. Include a lei and some novelty sunglasses as well, and send the package to your guests. For an adult tropical party, buy decorative plastic margarita glasses and tropical swizzle sticks. Tie a paper invitation around the stem of the glass and send the glass and a swizzle stick to each guest. For a beach party, send your invitation in a glass bottle. Print your invitations on papyrus paper and roll them up. Tie a decorative ribbon to the end, leaving 6 inches of ribbon left over. Stuff the rolled invitation into the bottle with the ribbon ends hanging out of the top. Make name tags for your guests and tie them to the end of the ribbon so your friends can easily retrieve the invitation from inside the bottle.
