If your party doesn't have a theme, have the invitation mirror the formality of the party.
If you're throwing a black tie soiree, keep it simple with a plain border, a fancy font, and to-the-point text.
If you're throwing a rave, make your invitation as wild as you'd like.

-- preferably around 2 weeks. , There are several things to consider when thinking about a party's size and attendance:
How big is the space where your party will be? Can your apartment hold 10 people, 50 people, 200 people? Is it okay for the people you invite to bring friends? How many friends? Do you have a say over who those friends are? How many people can you feed and have drinks for at your party? Does this include friends of friends?
