But we hope you'll stick with us and find out all the "in's and out's" involved in creating perfect online invitations! When's the best time to send my invitations? We all know that it's important to give your invitation recipients adequate notice for an event. But there are also certain days of the week that are better for emailing than others. Traditionally, Mondays and Fridays are two of the worst days to send email. Especially for business email addresses, these are the busiest days of the week at the office. Monday people are gearing up for the week and possibly taking care of the mass of email they've received over the weekend. Friday, people are just anxious to get out of work. With both of these days, it's very likely you're invitation will be seen, but the "I'll respond later" factor hits a high note and your recipient is more likely to forget to take action. Although Tuesdays aren't bad, the best days are Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is when people generally are more likely to respond. If you are sending to business email addresses, try to avoid sending your invitation out on weekends. Chances are, it will just get buried in the email pile-up! Creating a Template If you send invitations/announcements often and want to re-use a design in another invitation, here's what you could do.... 1) select the invitation you'd like to use as your "Template" from your list of invitations on the account page. 2) click the "Copy" button in the toolbar This in effect copies the "Template" invitation to a new invitation. Then you just edit the new invitation putting in a new date, location, description etc. If you wanted to go one step further, you could actually create a new invitation called "Template" and just leave most of the fields empty. When you create your next invitation, just copy the Template and edit it to insert the appropriate information for the event. Doing this will keep your Template "clean" and help prevent strange formatting issues.
