Your Guide to Wedding Invitations

Nine essential wedding invitation tips

How many people should I invite? When should I send the wedding invitations? Do I need a save-the-day invite? Should I go with paper or digital invites? How should they look? How long should I give people to RSVP?

The wedding invitation might be small in size but it’s a big deal when you’re getting married. The invitation can make or break the party – if people don’t know about your wedding, they can’t come! 

To point you in the right direction, this guide answers all your most pressing questions about wedding invitations. Keep reading for tips on how to invite your loved ones to your big day. 

1. Stick with paper for a classy affair

Paper wedding invitations are the classic option. They give your guests a physical notification of your wedding that they can put on their fridge or the counter. Digital invites may not give the same formal vibe. 

If you’re limited on time, don’t have people’s physical addresses, or want to be more eco-conscious, digital wedding invitations can work just fine but you need to make sure that everyone can access your invitations including your Great-Aunt Sandy or Grandma Betty who doesn’t own a computer. 

2. Include all the relevant details

Whether you opt for paper or digital, your wedding invitations should be a one-stop-shop for all the information guests need about your big day. The main part of the invitation should include your names, the time of the ceremony, and the location. Then, add details to the information card.

This insert should tell guests about pre-and post-wedding events. It should note the time and address of the reception, information on hotel accommodations, and anything else you think is relevant. 

3. Decide if you want to include registry details

Traditionally, including registry details on your invitations is considered to be an etiquette faux pas – it looks like you’re asking for gifts. However, if there are no details, a guest is supposed to bring a gift to the wedding so including registry details can make shopping a lot easier.

Ultimately, you decide whether or not you want to include your registry details. One workaround is to set up a wedding website. There are lots of platforms that can help you set up a site for free and your wedding website serves as a hub for all the information people need about your wedding.

Simply add the URL of the wedding website to the information card in your invitation. Then, put the registry details in a prominent spot on your site. This approach lets guests know where you’ve registered and allows you to avoid putting the registry information on your invitation.

4. Note the dress code

You don’t want half your guests to show up in Bermuda shorts and the rest to show up in tuxedos and gowns. To ensure everyone is on the same page, note the dress code on the information card. The typical options are black tie, cocktail attire, and casual. 

In the absence of a specific label, most people assume that weddings are cocktail attire but your venue can also dictate the attire. People who are invited to a wedding on the beach, for example, are more likely to show up in casual clothes than those who’ve been invited to a ceremony in a cathedral followed by a reception at a hotel ballroom.

5. Send the wedding invitations early

Ideally, you should send your wedding invitations about eight weeks before your big day. If you’re having a destination wedding, aim for 12 weeks before the wedding. Waiting later can work if you’re having a small ceremony but keep in mind that people may not be able to come if you don’t let them know until the last minute.

6. Include an RSVP card

Make sure to include an RSVP card. RSVP is an acronym for the French phrase “Repondez, s’il vous plaît” which means “respond please,” and you need people to RSVP so that you can have a headcount for your venue and your caterers.

Be sure to include a stamped addressed envelope for the RSVPs. If you forget the stamp, people won’t be able to respond as easily and you’ll find yourself following up on way too many invites. Alternatively, with both paper and digital wedding invitations, you can include a phone number, an email address, or a website where people can RSVP. 

7. Be clear about who’s invited

On the invitation, very clearly note who you want to come to the wedding. If you want to invite a couple without their kids, only note their names on the invitation. Prefer to include the whole family? Then, write “Mr. and Mrs. Jones and family” or “Bob and Stacy Johnson with Maddie, Taylor, and Oliver”.

For your single friends, note their name and “plus one” if you want them to bring a date. You can also write their partner’s name if you know it. Inviting single friends on their own is perfectly acceptable if you have limited space.

8. Add the right start time

Noting a late start time can be tempting if you want everyone to be early but most people know that they need to show up before the ceremony starts. Put the correct time on the invitation or put in two times: when the guests should arrive and when the ceremony starts.

9. Announce the big day with a save-the-day card

A save-the-day announcement puts your wedding on people’s radars so that they can plan. These announcements are particularly important if you’re inviting people who need to travel, arrange time off work, or save money for the wedding. 

Send your save-the-day cards six to eight months before the wedding. You only need to include your names, the date, and the city of the location. You don’t have to include specific times or venues, just the basics.

Haunt Your House With a Spooktacular Halloween Party This Year!

9 fun ideas for a family-friendly Halloween party

Key takeaways:

  • Try an iconic witch’s theme
  • Buy blacklights for glow-in-the-dark fun 
  • Have a costume contest
  • Play classic Halloween party games
  • Set up a photo booth
  •  Get scary with a haunted house
  • Don’t forget the food

A Halloween party can be a great way to unwind after trick-or-treating or be the perfect family-friendly alternative to trick-or-treating. You can invite the whole neighborhood for an open house or have a small bash with close friends and family. This holiday has been providing families with fun for hundreds of years and there are all kinds of ways to make your party spooktacular! 

The best Halloween party is one that’s fun for both kids and adults. Spooky decor, a costume contest, the right soundtrack – all of these combine to create an epic October bash. Just throw in some delicious catering from TooJay’s and your party is set. 

We want to help you plan the best Halloween party ever and to get the creative juices flowing, we put together this list of ideas. Grab your broomsticks and hold onto your hats – here we go!

1. Witches and warlocks

Devote your party to an iconic witch theme. Tell guests to dress as witches or warlocks. Play witchy movies like “The Witches,” “Hocus Pocus,” or “Gretel and Hansel.” Old episodes of “Bewitched” are fun if you prefer to have a more family-friendly atmosphere. Complete the theme with cauldrons full of dry ice that make mysterious vapor, witch hats, brooms, and black cats. 

2. Glow-in-the-dark shenanigans

Adults and kids alike enjoy the rave-like atmosphere of a glow-in-the-dark party. Invest in some black lights and kill the regular lights. Give guests glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark necklaces, put on some spooky tunes, and dance the night away. Buy white shirts and let guests paint them with glow-in-the-dark paint as an activity. 

3. Costume contest with prizes galore

Dressing up is half (or maybe most) of the fun of Halloween and a costume contest recognizes your guests’ efforts. Don’t just give out one prize – hold a contest with a variety of categories like “scariest,” “cutest,” “best homemade,” “best couple costume,” “funniest,” and “most original.” The more people who walk away with kudos on their attire, the better.

4. Classic Halloween party games

You can integrate classic Halloween games into your party, regardless of your theme. Fill an old wooden bucket with water and apples for apple bobbing. Have a BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) Party, hand out the knives, and hold a pumpkin carving contest. 

Mummy races are also fun, classic Halloween party games – split up your guests into pairs, hand them each a roll of paper towels, and shout “go” to kick off the race. The object of the game is to see who can wrap up their mummy the fastest.  

5. A scary, funny photo booth

To make sure your party shines on social media and in your guests’ memories, set up a photo booth for capturing fun shoots. 

Drape some black fabric and cobwebs against a wall and complete the scene with a creaky old rocking chair, plastic skeletons, and spooky long-stemmed candles. Give guests a variety of silly and scary props like witch’s hats, clown wigs, wacky glasses, and fake chainsaws. 

All you need to do now is grab the cameras, choose a hashtag, and let the photography begin. A green screen can be extra fun – if you’re tech-savvy, put up a neutral backdrop, have guests pose, and then use your editing software to pop them into scary scenes. 

6. Haunted house ideas

You can turn your whole house into a haunted house or keep the main area for the party and turn the upstairs bedrooms or the basement into your “little shop of horrors.” You can create static displays like a creepy doll room, a room with tanks full of real snakes and tarantulas, and mock graveyards, but interactive displays with actors can be even more fun. 

Getting friends involved can make your haunted house extra scary. Guests can walk into one room to find a mad scientist working on his victim. They can find a witch’s den in the next room open a door to see severed but still talking heads on a table.

Try something a little tamer if you need to keep your party kid-friendly. Peeled grapes that feel like eyeballs, macaroni salad that looks like brains, and fake spiders can provide just the right amount of “gore” for your younger guests.

7. Party crafts

Crafts at your Halloween party give the kids something to do while the adults take a break, especially if you put a teen in charge of the little ones. Here are some easy  party craft ideas for kids:

  • Decorate Halloween cookies
  • Turn balloons and pipe cleaners into spiders
  • Paint coffee cans white and add streamers to make ghosts
  • Make a spooky tree out of old branches and paper bats
  • Paint Halloween trinkets with glow-in-the-dark-paint and put them into mason jars to make funky lanterns

Other activities can also be fun for the rest of your party guests. Set up a scary movie marathon for the teens and bring out board games for the adults. 

8. Trick-or-treating at home

You can trick-or-treat at home if your area doesn’t have a great spot to go or if you just want to give the kids another round after the porch lights go out. Station people with bowls of candy behind all the doors in your house, tape some arrows to the walls to direct traffic, and then tell the trick-or-treaters to start knocking.

No Halloween party is complete without some tasty food to keep the guests happy. Eating sugar all night can turn the kids into little monsters, regardless of what costumes they’re wearing, and adults need fuel to keep themselves going.

9. Tasty catering to round out the fun

TooJay’s Catering can make your party complete once you’ve nailed down your ideas, bought the decorations, and sent out the invites. Let us handle the cooking – our extensive catering menu has a bit of something for everyone, whether you want party hors d’oeuvres like franks in a blanket or vegetable egg rolls, fancy entrees, sandwich platters, or breakfast for the next morning. We also have great desserts, like the TooJay’s Sweets Platter and the Fresh Baked Cookie Platter.

Contact us today to talk about your upcoming Halloween party and we’ll help you make it spooktacular!

Say Hello to Summer With an Office Barbecue!

Get teambuilding sizzling by hosting a fun office barbecue this summer

The smell of burgers; the taste of freshly-brewed iced tea; the warmth of the sun’s rays; the sound of laughter and music. 

Yep, it’s barbecue season. If summer has you dreaming about grilling up some ribs, cracking open beers with your buds, and cranking up the perfect soundtrack, you’re probably already planning that first barbecue of the year. Maybe you’re planning a whole bunch of barbecues. 

If you love barbecue season, why limit it to the weekend? Forget about the risk of getting BBQ sauce on your business clothes; the office deserves to partake in this perfect summer ritual, too. An office barbecue is a great way to say hello to summer and bring the team together in a relaxed, outdoor setting. Plus, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love an excuse to eat hot dogs and corn on the cob while on the clock? 

Here are eight tips for planning an amazing office barbecue:

  • Pick a location

The first thing you need to do is choose a location. If your office building has a sizable green lawn outside, that’s a great option. Just make sure you get approval from the building manager first. If there’s no outdoor space by your office, look into renting an outdoor venue or hosting your event at a nearby park (often, parks allow you to rent pavilions for free or for a small fee). In this case, ensure that everyone has directions and transportation to the party. 

If you live in a place where summer rain showers are common (like Florida), consider having a backup indoor venue or at least a really good tent to keep everyone dry.

  • Choose a date

The easiest way to make sure everyone can come to the office barbecue is by having it during work hours. If you do that, choose a day of the week when things are usually a little less busy at the office – like Friday afternoon. If you choose to have it on a weekend, you want to make sure everyone can come. 

In either case, ask for input from the team to find a date that works for everyone. Send around a poll that allows the team to vote on dates that work best so you can find a time and a date that the whole crew is happy with.

  • Send out invites

Once you’ve locked down a date and a location, go into marketing mode. Hang flyers at work, add the event to the office Google calendar, and send regular (but not annoying) email reminders. If spouses and/or families are invited, send out a virtual invitation with an RSVP deadline so that you can get a headcount to plan the food options. 

  • Ask about dietary restrictions

Speaking of which, now’s the time for the fun part – the menu! When choosing what to serve at an office barbecue, it’s easy to assume that everyone will be on board with burgers and hot dogs. But what if you’ve got some vegetarians in the office? Or someone with a dairy allergy who would rather not have to pick the cheese off their burger? Or someone who is gluten-free and needs gluten-free buns? 

Ask everyone to email you any allergies, dietary restrictions, or preferences. After all, the office vegans shouldn’t have to subsist on salad alone!

  • Choose activities

While the main activity will be eating delicious food, it’s always fun to make an office barbecue extra special by planning activities. If you want to kill two birds with one stone, you might even plan some team-building activities.

You can also keep it casual by having lawn games around, such as cornhole, croquet, or even volleyball. If the party is being held after dark, you could screen an outdoor movie. Or, plan some ice breaker games that people can play while they’re eating. Think conversation starter-type activities, such as two truths and a lie.

  • Have fun with décor

If the outdoor barbecue is close to a holiday, such as the Fourth of July, you can go patriotic with décor. If not, decorate with red-checkered tablecloths, fresh flowers, and candles. You might even consider showing some workplace pride by decorating with the company logo or colors. If your office barbecue will be outdoors, the natural setting will do most of the work but it’s always nice to jazz it up with string lights, balloons, and table centerpieces.

  • Safety considerations

This will be a fun event but it’s still an office event, so safety considerations are a must! First, ensure that the event is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Offer plenty of seating so no one is forced to be on their feet for too long. You should also offer a shaded area, such as a tent or seating beneath trees. 

Have sunscreen and bug spray on hand. Make water readily available and encourage people to stay hydrated – this is especially important if you’re serving alcohol. On that note, if there’s going to be booze at this office barbecue, take a proactive role in ensuring everyone has a safe ride home. You might offer a shuttle, pay for Ubers with the company account, or see if anyone will volunteer to be a designated driver.

Make it easy (and tasty) with catering from TooJay’s Catering

TooJay’s Catering offers great options for your office barbecue. By choosing catering, you can find a delicious spread that has selections for every member of your team. You can order in advance or look for same-day pickup options. From light appetizers to full meals to tantalizing desserts, TooJay’s has got it all – and your office will love it!

What Should You Order From TooJay’s for Your Catered Family Event

Picking the perfect menu is easy with TooJay’s

Key takeaways:

  • Having your family event catered lets you relax and enjoy your family
  • Protein-packed breakfasts are a great way to start the day on the right foot
  • Add in some sweetness with French Toast or a Breakfast Yogurt Bar
  • Platters make serving easy and bring variety to your guests
  • Hors d’oeuvres are a classy alternative to a sit-down meal
  • Family-style and roast dinners lend a traditional feel to your event
  • Don’t forget the desserts

A catered family event lets you enjoy time with your loved ones instead of worrying about the cooking. You might be planning an intimate family dinner, a backyard wedding, or a family reunion but whatever you’re metaphorically cooking up, let TooJay’s can handle the actual cooking. 

So, what should you order for your catered family event? This guide goes over some of the tastiest options on TooJay’s catering menu to help you decide what will work best for your next family get-together. 

Protein-packed breakfasts

A protein-packed breakfast is a great way to kick off the morning of a family reunion or to ease people into the day after a long night of family partying. Go for a classic breakfast with The Scrambler which features scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage links, and an assortment of deli-fresh bagels. Or, skip the forks and opt for breakfast sandwiches. 

The Omelette Station is another great idea to ensure everyone gets exactly what they want for breakfast and it makes your catered family event a little more memorable.  

Sweet breakfasts

Prefer to start your day with something sweet? Order French Toast or add it to any of the protein-packed breakfast. Quiche and fresh fruit are nice if you prefer a lighter breakfast and the Breakfast Yogurt Bar is a fun way to start your day with a healthy dose of yogurt, granola, and fresh strawberries. 

Continental or smoked fish platters

Platters let you put out the food so that everyone can dig in at their own pace as they wake up or arrive. The Continental Platter has a variety of bagels, Danish pastries, muffins or coffee cakes, and cream cheese, butter, and jelly. The Smoked Fish Platter has a unique blend of Nova salmon, a whole smoked Whitefish, kippered salmon, or Whitefish salad and bagels with all the fixings. 

Lunch party platters and healthy salads

Mid-day catered family events deserve their own menus. Keep everyone fed and happy with an assortment of wraps and sandwiches served with coleslaw or potato salad. The lunch platters are a great option and they can be ordered the same day as your event. 

Lunch options include deli meat, crisp vegetables, fresh fruit, and assorted cheeses. Salads can round out a healthy lunch or be served on their own – try the Cobb, Strawberry Citrus, Greek, or TooJay’s Chopped salad and add grilled chicken, salmon, or avocado if you like.  

Hors d’oeuvres

Hors d’oeuvres give you a lot of flexibility while still letting you enjoy high-quality food. You don’t have to rent tables or chairs for a sit-down dinner and you can let people eat at their leisure rather than at a set time. 

Putting hors d’oeuvres on the menu also lets you inject a lot of flavor variety and meet the dietary needs of everyone in your family. Go with classic options like our Shrimp Cocktail, Franks in a Blanket, Chicken Tenders with Dipping Sauce, and Pinwheel Wraps. Vegetarian options like Spinach Phyllo Puffs, Brie with Raspberries En Croute, and Vegetable Egg Rolls are sure to please even the biggest meat lovers on your guest list. Mini Blintzes and Mini Quiches are perfect for morning parties but they can also work later in the day. 

Traditional roast dinners

A traditional roast dinner is an ideal food to serve when you’re gathering around a table with loved ones. TooJay’s has multiple options in this category and depending on how many guests are coming, you may want everyone to eat the same thing or throw in some variety on the menu

Choices for roast dinners include Herb Roasted Half Chicken with mashed potatoes, mushroom demi-glace, and a fresh vegetable or Traditional Turkey Dinner with mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing served with our savory turkey gravy and a fresh vegetable. Prefer beef? Check out our Beef Brisket served with mushroom demi-glace, crispy potato pancakes, and a fresh vegetable or the Old Fashioned Pot Roast with mushroom demi-glace, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable. The Broiled Cod in lemon dill butter and fresh herbs with rice pilaf and a fresh vegetable is ideal if you want a classic meal on the lighter side. 

Family-style dinners

Family-style dinners bring big portions for the whole family. People can dig into their favorites or try a bit of everything and these dinners are great for catered family events because they bring a homey feel. 

Meat Lasagna and Shepherd’s Pie are delicious classics or you may want to try a hot entree served buffet style with salad and rye bread. Additional delicious entree options include Chicken Capri in lemon butter white wine sauce, Garlic Chicken Pasta, Roast Stuffed Chicken Breast, or Chicken Marsala. Consider adding a Southwest Black Bean Stack, Roasted Veggie Pasta, or Portobello Parmesan for the vegetarians in the family. Add extra pizzazz to your party by serving the London Broil grilled to order. 

Desserts

Dessert, dessert, can’t forget dessert! Put Fresh Baked Cookie Platter or create some variety with a platter of brownies, cookies, and macaroons. The Mini Napoleon and Éclair Platter is a great idea if you like layers of puff pastry, creamy custard, and chocolate ganache. 

We also have gourmet specialty cakes which come in the classic round shape or as 1/2 sheet cake options and they are a taste sensation that will make everyone in the family happy. Try our Banana Dream, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Layer Cake, Coconut Cake, Cheesecake, Killer Cake, or mix and match desserts for a dazzling variety.

11 Theme Party Ideas You Probably Haven’t Thought Of

Throw a crowd pleaser with these unique ideas

Key takeaways:

  • Theme party ideas help make your event stand out
  • Draw inspiration from big events like Coachella and Burning Man
  • Satisfy your inner child with bouncy castles or a video game theme
  • Travel the seas on a yacht or run away with the circus
  • Kick the beach party theme up a notch with a night in Havana
  • Turn your party into an ode to your favorite show or video games 
  • Dive into the past with a time traveler theme or party it up during the apocalypse

A theme takes any party from ordinary to extraordinary. It breaks the ice between guests and creates a fun hashtag for social media. Party themes are awesome but if you’re tired of the tried-and-true 80s and beach party themes, break out of your comfort zone and try something new!

We believe in having a good time so we’ve put together a list of 11 unique theme party ideas to help you plan your next event. Looking for an innovative, crowd-pleasing theme for your next get-together? Then, check out these concepts.

1. Burning Man meets Coachella

You don’t have to travel to the middle of the desert to get wild with your friends. Fashion, music, art, and a plain ol’ good old time converge at both of these events and this theme lets you bring these ideas together at your bash. 

Take a note from Burning Man and have everyone bring something fun to share with guests or to entertain the crew. Book live music or play Coachella videos and encourage everyone to wear their most stylish outfits with a hint of hippy flair. 

2. Inner child party

Plan a party that makes your inner child light up with grown-up versions of your favorite childhood pastimes. Rent a bouncy castle, create an adult-sized ball pit, and bring out the slip-and-slide. Get interactive with child-like games such as kickball or video games and don’t forget the small details like bubbles to blow and confetti to throw and, of course, lots of tasty snacks with an emphasis on desserts.

3. Walking onto a yacht

You don’t need to own a yacht to throw a nautical-inspired party but if you happen to have access to a boat, pull up the anchors and hit the seas. Strike a sophisticated tone with crisp white and navy blue decor and have everyone dress as if you’re heading to the French Riviera. Indulge in fine food, play some disco tunes, and most importantly, keep it classy whether you’re in your backyard or on the water. 

4. Run away with the circus

Circus party theme ideas give you lots of room to play. Use classic circus stripes in your decor and serve up cotton candy and peanuts in addition to the rest of your fare. Encourage your guests to put on an act or bring in people to read fortunes, perform skits, or paint faces. Hang up some yoga ropes for aerial acrobatics and make sure to play some circus music.

5. Havana nights

Beach parties are one of the most popular theme party ideas but they are slightly overplayed. Take your event up a notch by turning the beach theme into a “Havana nights” theme. Invite your guests to a fun night at your Cuban-inspired party. Serve rum cocktails, hand out cigars, play Latin dance music, and tell your guests to wear tropical prints or other vintage resort wear. 

6. Rock-and-roll party

Who doesn’t like to party like a rockstar? Decorate your space with silver and black, tell Spotify to play everything from The Rolling Stones to AC/DC to Nirvana, and roll back the rugs for some headbanging! Have guests dress as their favorite rock stars and consider having a costume contest with rewards for “best mohawk” or “most realistic depiction of a rock star.” Spray-on hair dye and temporary tattoos can help finish off costumes once the party is rolling (and rocking). 

7. Gamer gala

Video games are one of the most fun and versatile theme party ideas. Tell guests to dress as their favorite video game character and have a lot of games to play at the party. Bring in extra TVs and set up classic consoles, rent some retro arcade games or pinball machines, and make sure to have some virtual reality headsets on-site. 

Make the party interactive by connecting game consoles to a large screen and projector, hosting a video game tournament, or giving out prizes for the best video game costume. 

8. Trash TV bash

You don’t have to watch trash TV alone at home – you can embrace this theme party idea and watch with your friends. Choose a good reality show and build your party around that concept. Think “The Bachelor/Bachelorette,” “90 Day Fiancé,” or even a tamer classic like “House Hunters.”  

9. Time traveler party

“Decade” parties are all the rage but you don’t have to pick a single decade. Let your guests pick the decade they want to represent with a time traveler party theme. Your guests can show up dressed as pharaohs from ancient Egypt, cowboys from the Old West, punk rockers from the 1980s, or a character from any other decade.  

The world and its history are your oysters for this event and for the decor, you can choose your favorite decade or decorate the space with time travel machines and multiple period themes. 

10. Sunday croquet

Take some inspiration from the 1989 classic film “Heathers” and throw a garden party. Everyone should wear their finest attire for croquet Sunday – fancy hats are optional but they help crank up the fun. Set up a croquet game, hand out the mallets, pour some cocktails, and have some fun.

11. End-of-time event

Did someone say apocalypse? Host an end-of-time event where everyone dresses like zombies or people who have just stumbled out of a nuclear bomb shelter. The decor can be minimalist but you may want to draw inspiration from shows like “The Walking Dead” or video games like the Fallout series.  

Let TooJay’s do the cooking

Theme party ideas are a great way to bring focus to your event and get people excited. Regardless of the theme you select, you need some good food. 

Let us handle the catering so you can relax and enjoy the party. TooJay’s offers an extensive catering menu and we would love to treat your guests to our delicious meals, snacks, and desserts. Contact us at TooJay’s Catering to learn more today.
