It’s party season! Over the next few months, calendars will be filling up, friends will be hosting holiday gatherings, and brands will be setting up their own festive events. For small businesses, it’s an ideal time to boost visibility and make the most of these social months by throwing a party of your own. Or, maybe you’re looking ahead to January to launch something fresh for the new year. From throwing a Christmas blowout that rivals Kris Jenner’s Christmas Eve Party, to hosting a brand event that will be talked about as much as Sofia Richie’s wedding, Picsart has options for every occasion.
No matter what the occasion is, we’re here to help make sure that your special event is memorable for all the right reasons. The vibe you bring to the function will be exclusively you. From personalized invitations, down to the details in the decor, give your guests a reason to shout about your brand and celebrate with you. We’ll show you how to create all of this in just a few clicks using our fictional brand, Earthly Radiance, as an example.
Designing Custom Invitations
First things first, it’s time to get those invites looking beautiful. Start by deciding if you want to send physical invitations or keep things digital with e-vites. Once that’s set, think about the aesthetic you want for your party. Maybe you have a specific color palette in mind, or you just know that minimalist elegance is the vibe you’re after. Whatever your vision, Picsart’s template collection has something that will fit. Browse through to find one that feels right, then customize it with stickers, font choices, and a QR code for easy RSVPing. Move over Met Gala, there’s a new must-attend event in town.
Creating Social Media Assets
To make sure your party is a hit, promoting it on social media is key. If your event is open to the public, create an Instagram story to let your audience know they’re invited. Match the colors and fonts from your invites to keep a cohesive look across platforms. Take a page from Emily Cooper’s book of marketing by using organic social media to drum up excitement.
If a story feels too temporary, or if you want to share across multiple accounts, no problem – creating a feed post is just as simple. Feature some of your favorite products using the AI Background Remover to keep things polished and clean, or try AI Background to make the post pop with scenery or textures.
Want to keep your event exclusive, and know exactly who you want to invite? Or, maybe you want to make this a community event for an established loyal following? In either case, making a Facebook event is a great way to keep track of RSVPs and create buzz before the big day. Build a banner that reflects how you envision your event. Apply a filter, or add some stickers to liven it up.
Curating a Photo Booth Backdrop
If you want guests to share content from your event, it helps to create some post-worthy moments. Think about what makes you want to share on your own social media accounts. Try a photo booth backdrop, unique stickers, or personalized place settings (maybe even with your own handwriting as the font choice). A visually captivating backdrop for photos will encourage attendees to snap away, giving your event that extra promotion. You could even create your own event logo using AI Logo Maker or design custom stickers using AI Stickers. These little details will make your event the most photogenic spot possible.
Post-Party Thank You Cards
The party may be over, but the momentum doesn’t have to stop there. Sending personalized thank you cards to guests can keep your event or brand in their minds, and show genuine appreciation. Picsart makes it easy to design thank you cards that reflect your style, with options to add a note of gratitude or even a picture from the night. A beautiful thank you card shows thoughtfulness and helps to make sure your event is remembered for weeks, months, or even years to come.
