Invitations and announcements involve friends and family in the major milestones of your life but in different ways. While invitations invite guests to a specific event or occasion, an announcement card shares important news or information with others.
Invitations are sent out beforehand and ask your guests to join you at your event, while most announcements are sent after an event has taken place.
Sometimes, both are used, like announcements to first inform people of an engagement or pregnancy and then invitations to a wedding or baby shower. You can send either option as a physical card or download a digital template to mail electronically or print from home.
