    Reach out to them personally and let them know that you need a headcount for the party. If you sent a digital invitation, you might consider calling your guests to ask if they received your invitation. Digital invitations are sometimes forwarded to the spam folder.

    The main components to have locked down are the theme, budget, and guest count. Do you want your party to be more relaxed, or are you wanting to go all-out? I've worked on company parties that wanted a specific theme and others that just wanted a party where everyone comes in jeans and has drinks.

    If you want guests to dress fancy, come up with a clever catch phrase or verbiage. That way they won’t feel like they have to “begrudgingly” do it, but rather they should definitely want to participate! Also consider attaching inspirational photos to the invitation.

    Sure, as long as everybody you're inviting gets along with one another, that should be just fine.
