INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're only inviting a few people at school or work, don't pass out invitations or spread the word there. Sending your invitations via mail or e-mail is a great method. You can send invitations discreetly, and you can also include pertinent information, such as your address, driving directions, dress code, or anything else they may need to know. Send your invitations a couple weeks before a more formal event, and within a week for an informal party. Websites like Paperless Post make it easy to create cute, custom invitations. They offer an entire section of invitations you can create completely for free. This can be as formal as requesting written RSVPs, or just asking invitees if they plan on attending so you can get a general headcount. Regardless of how you go about doing this, you should figure out who is planning to attend so that you can make sure you are prepared to host everyone. Make sure that when you request RSVPs, you also ask if they intend on bringing a date or friend along with them. If many of your invitees are unable to come, you can always send out additional invitations to anyone you may not have considered originally. After you've created your list of non-negotiable guests and their potential dates, create a list of reserve guests. These reserves will get invited if many of your original invitees can't make it.

SUMMARY: Use tact and manners when inviting your guests. Request and follow up for RSVPs. Invite reserves if applicable.
