Open house invitations with drop-in times
Open houses trade a fixed start time for a window. That only works if the window and the address are impossible to miss on the invitation.
How to send open house invitations
- Pick an envelope colour and design, or let AI design one from your details.
- Add the date, time and address — guests get one-tap directions and a calendar link.
- Add photos or a short video so the envelope opens onto something personal.
- Share by text, WhatsApp, email or link, then watch RSVPs and head counts arrive.
Open house invitation wording examples
- “Open house Saturday, 12 to 5. Drop in whenever suits.”
- “Studio open day — Sunday 11am to 4pm. Coffee on, work on the walls.”
- “Grand opening Friday from 10. Ribbon at noon.”
Tips that get more replies
- Put the window in the time field and repeat it in the details.
- Ask for a rough arrival time in the RSVP note so the crowd spreads out.
- Add parking and entrance details.
- Post an update if you're running low on food or extending the hours.
