Bring family and friends together to congratulate a loved one on their success or life milestone with a party. Start your celebration off on the right foot with an online party invitation you can send right from your phone. Customize your invite with important party details, include a message board for your event, and easily gather RSVPs online. Whether it’s a retirement, graduation, or anniversary party, digital invitations will help keep you organized and on top of your party planning!

Be sure to have a theme and decorations to match your party (think: gold streamers and balloons for a golden wedding anniversary; a beach-themed party for someone retiring on the coast; or a graduate’s high school or college colors throughout the party space). 

A party is also the perfect opportunity to share a congrats group video on a TV or projector screen. The recipient will be so surprised and touched to hear messages of love from friends and family, and party attendees will get to share and witness the recipient’s joy!

Congratulations Gift Ideas 

If you’d like to give someone a present to recognize their achievement or special occasion, check out these gift ideas!

• Cake. What could be better than something sweet to celebrate an accomplishment? There’s a reason cake is at the center of many celebrations: it’s delicious, it can be personalized with a special message, and it’s meant to be shared! Regardless if you make the cake yourself or get it from a local bakery, the recipient will appreciate the thoughtful gesture.

• Champagne. Bring out the bubbly! From the pop of the cork to the sparkling and fizzy overflow, champagne screams celebration. Mark a special achievement or life moment with a bottle (or two!) for a loved one. If you want to go all out, consider buying traditional champagne flutes, a stopper, bottle opener, and an ice bucket.

• Basket of Goodies. For this gift, take a moment to think about what your special someone is celebrating and what they might need. For college-bound high school grads, fill a laundry basket with necessities like detergent, quarters, instant coffee, candy, and snacks they can munch on while they study. For newlyweds and new parents, check their wedding and baby gift registries for any remaining items that you can gather together in a basket. For new homeowners, fill a basket with a lovely scented candle, potted plant, bottle of wine, gift card to a local hardware store, and home design magazines for inspiration.

Congratulating someone on their success or milestone is all about sharing in their joy and showing them you care. No matter what the occasion, keep these ideas in mind for a meaningful way to say congrats!
