Cocktail Engagement Party Invitations

Two engagement invitations for an evening of drinks: Cocktails, a martini and a second cocktail with citrus garnish under Cocktails & Celebrations, dated Friday, May 14; and Bar Cart, a bar cart with flowers, glasses and a ring dish under Drinks in Their Honor. Both backs keep it simple, Cocktail attire on one and Hosted by the Quinn family on the other. Cocktails opens in Sunflower with Emerald & Gold and Black & Gold; Bar Cart opens in Blush & Rose Gold with Navy & Gold and Sage Garden.

Hosting tip
A cocktail party usually means drinks and passed bites rather than a meal, so give an end time or say heavy hors d'oeuvres if that's what you're serving. Guests decide whether to eat dinner first based on that one line.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the couple's names, the date and the place; the badge can carry the date or simply Engagement Party. The back carries the details again with one line for who is hosting, the dress code, or that gifts aren't expected.

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 to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the engagement party invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Friday night engagement party a good idea?
For a cocktail party it works well: guests come straight from work and the evening has a natural end. Cocktails is dated for a Friday in the sample; change it to any night.
What does cocktail attire mean on an engagement invitation?
Dressier than everyday: suits or a jacket and slacks, cocktail dresses or smart separates. It's what both of these designs suggest on the back.
