Successful Teenage Gatherings

Invitations

Do not issue verbal or group invitations to private parties.

Individualise and number the invitations - avoid ones that can be photocopied, faxed, emailed or put on the internet.

Give specific start and finish times appropriate for the age group being catered for.

Note if alcohol will be available or not, and if it is, whether it is to be BYO or supplied (refer to section on alcohol).

Mail invitations.

RSVP's are essential (provide date and phone number) for compiling a list of those expected to attend.

Decide whether or not partners should be invited. If so, there should be one invitation per couple.

Note that entry to the party is strictly by presentation of the numbered invitation and the individual's name being on the RSVP list.
