A year-end office party invitation email should answer the questions colleagues ask first: when, where, whether guests are welcome, what to wear, and whether food and drinks are provided. Put the date in the subject line so the email is easy to find later, and send it three to four weeks before the party.

If you have an invitation card, turn it into a page with CardToPage. Guests open one link, see your card, tap Directions and reply on the page. The free Starter page shows your card as one image and has no RSVP form. The full website adds RSVP, directions, a countdown and more, and stays online until 14 days after your last event.

Subject lines that work

  • “Save the date: Year-end party on [date]”
  • “You are invited: [company] year-end celebration, [date]”
  • “Reply by [date]: Year-end party at [venue]”

Email wording

“Hello team,

Please join us for our year-end celebration on [date] from [time] to [time] at [venue and address]. It is a chance to celebrate what we did this year, and to relax together.

Food and drinks will be provided. Dress code: [dress code]. Partners are [welcome or not welcome].

Please reply by [date] using this link so we can plan the numbers: [link]. If you have dietary needs, add them when you reply.

Thank you for a great year. [Name]”

Shorter message for a chat channel

“Year-end party on [date], [time], at [venue]. Reply here by [date]: [link]. Partners welcome. Dietary needs? Add them when you reply.”

What to include

  • The date, the start and end time and the full address.
  • Whether partners or families are invited.
  • Food and drink details, including a non-alcoholic option.
  • A reply-by date and one place to reply.
  • Travel, parking or a safe-ride note.

Make it easy for everyone

A single reply link works better than replies to an email thread. It gives you a head count in one list and lets you add dietary needs and plus-ones in the same place.

Follow-up

Send a reminder one week before to anyone who has not replied, and a second one two days before with the final details.
