Invitations to ceremonies like a house warming or a wedding or just the celebration the 40th Birthday of a friend, is generally done on cards, these are small sheets of board, highlighting the theme of the function giving the necessary details like the venue and date and maybe the flow of the ceremony, Cards are generally a representation of what the inviter wants to portray themselves as in a creative fashion.
In psychology, a first impression is an event when one person first encounters another person and forms a mental image of that person. Impression accuracy varies depending on the observer and the target (person, object, scene, etc.) being observed. Hence one should have a visiting card that speaks volumes about them only by touching his business card. It should portray the kind of person one is dealing with, as opinions are formed almost immediately
Colour, thickness, creativity, and the overall;l feel of the card would help suppress the anxiety of the person. A of the shelf visiting card generally shows that the person is not too passionate about his image, and his services too shall be off the shelf, while a well-planned visiting card, with a bit of creativity and a sophisticated print, would make you imagine the person as successful, and hence make you want to deal with him
after all the business card is a very compact statement you have and one with which you can create the lasting impression on a customer. It is not necessary to use expensive means to fabricate these cards but the layout really matters!
