BBQ Invitations
Within Invitation Cards
A backyard cookout is one of the few gatherings where the invite itself sets the entire mood. Text messages and Facebook events say "show up if you want." A card pulled from a mailbox says "we planned this with you in mind." For a BBQ, that distinction matters — you are asking people to clear a Saturday, bring their appetite, and trust that the potato salad will be worth it. A physical invitation signals that this is a real event with a real host who put in real effort, before the first brisket ever hits the grill.
Cards From You makes that easy without making it a project. You pick a design built for casual outdoor gatherings, write your message — date, time, address, what to bring, whether kids and dogs are welcome — and it gets handwritten in real ink by a human hand, then mailed directly to your guests. No printing, no stuffing envelopes at the kitchen table. You can even schedule cards to go out weeks in advance, so your invitations land in mailboxes at exactly the right moment, giving guests enough lead time to actually show up.

Frequently Asked
How far in advance should I send BBQ invitations by mail?
For a casual backyard cookout, two to three weeks ahead is the sweet spot — enough notice for people to plan without so much lead time that it slips their minds. If it falls on a holiday weekend like Memorial Day or the Fourth of July, push that to four weeks since calendars fill faster.
What information should I include in a BBQ invitation card?
Cover the essentials: date, start time, your address, and whether the event has a firm end time. It also helps to note parking, whether guests should bring a dish or drinks, and any ground rules around kids or pets — people appreciate not having to text you to ask.
Can I customize what's handwritten inside the BBQ invitation?
Yes, you write the message yourself when placing the order, so you control exactly what goes inside — from a casual 'fire up at 4, bring your own chair' to a more detailed cookout rundown. Each card is written out individually, so you can also personalize each one with the recipient's name or a specific note.
