Christmas Dinner Party Invitations

Christmas dinner party invitations for a seated meal: Place Card with a table setting and a place card, Candelabra with a lit candelabra, and Menu Card with taper candles beside a menu card. All three use an elegant serif, with a gold-ruled, diamond-ruled or pinstripe back. Type the hosts, the arrival time and the dress code, and print on good card stock.

Hosting tip

Give two times on a dinner invitation, arrival and seating, as the Place Card sample does (7:00 PM, then "Dinner at 7:30"). Ask about dietary restrictions on the RSVP line, since a seated menu can't adjust on the night.

How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the family or your names as hosts, the date and the address; the back carries the details and one practical line: what to bring, whether kids are welcome, the hours for an open house. The wording ideas list has family and food lines ready to drop in.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the Christmas party invitation wording ideas.
