The back notes: Cocktail attire, signature drinks all night; Good drinks and better conversation; and Shaken, stirred or sparkling water.

Hosting tip
A cocktail party usually runs two or three hours, so an end time is fine on the card (Seven to ten). Say whether there will be food: "heavy hors d'oeuvres" tells guests not to eat first.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the hosts' names, the date and the place; the back has room for the line a food party needs: when dinner is served, what to bring, or the dress code.

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 party invitation wording ideas and the party etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

What does cocktail attire mean?
Suits or sport coats, and cocktail dresses or dressy separates: a step below black tie and a step above casual.
How do I word a cocktail party invitation?
Name the hosts, the hour (Cocktails at Eight says it in the headline), the place and the dress code, then one line about drinks and food.
Is there a non-alcoholic option in the wording?
Yes. Cocktails at Eight's note is Shaken, stirred or sparkling water, and the wording page has a mocktail line.
