An invitation to a company outing or a business day can be done simply via a card from an expensive printing company. But when companies really want to surprise their staff, an original and unique invitation is needed.

A original invitation doesn't even have to be expensive. An original invitation is all about being surprising and eye-catching. The message is conveyed in a unique way. 

Separate invitations for a company outing

An invitation has several options besides a card that unfolds. A separate invitation already starts with a small effect on the card. For example, consider one turn card where you can keep folding the card endlessly. In addition to effects, it is also possible to display the shape of the card differently. This is the case, for example, with the Pop-up Cube. The card and message appear in a box that pops out of your envelope.

The invitation for a company outing or relationship day is guaranteed to stand out in the mail with this unique invitation. This invitation immediately attracts the attention of the recipient.

Order and ship on time

Make sure you order the invitation in time so that there is time for a proof. Also make sure that the addresses of the invitees are in an Excel file. It is then possible to have the addresses pre-printed on envelopes. That way, not all addresses need to be written down by hand.
Then also send the invitations on time, about 2 to 3 months in advance, so that people can keep their agendas free in time.
Always order more invitations than you initially think you need, as extra people can always be unexpectedly invited.
