Secret Santa invitation wording: messages to copy

What every invitation should say

• That taking part is optional.
• The budget, as a range, with the currency.
• The date to join by, and the date of the draw.
• When and where the gifts are opened.
• How to join: one link, nothing else to do.
• The rules of this year, if there is a twist.

For the office

• Hi all! We are doing a Secret Santa again this year. It is optional. Budget: 50 to 100 RON. Join by Friday using the link below; the draw is on Monday, and we open the gifts at the team lunch on 18 December.
• Secret Santa time. If you would like to take part, join with this link by 1 December. Budget 10 to 20 EUR. Gifts under the tree in the kitchen by 17 December; we open them on the 18th at 4 pm.
• This year with a twist: everyone draws a colour along with their person, and the whole gift has to be that colour. Join here by Friday. Budget 50 to 100 RON.

For friends

• Secret Santa, edition six! Join here by Sunday. Budget 100 to 200 RON. We open the gifts at the party on the 20th, and we guess the Santas first.
• New rules this year: you give your Santa two adjectives and a function, and they have to find a gift that ticks all three. Join by Sunday; the challenge can wait until Wednesday.
• For those abroad: the draw is on 25 November so there is time to post. Gifts must arrive by 15 December, and we open them on a call on the 21st.

For the family

• This Christmas the adults buy one gift each instead of ten. Join with this link by 1 December and the app will tell you who you are buying for. Budget 200 to 300 RON. Children still get presents from everyone.
• Same as last year, with one change: nobody gets the same person twice in a row. Join by Sunday, and add a few ideas to your wishlist to help your Santa.

Reminders

• Two days left to join the Secret Santa. The link is above. After Friday the draw is made and nobody else can be added.
• The draw is done! Open the app to see who you are buying for. Remember: 50 to 100 RON, and gifts by the 17th.
• One week to go. If your gift is ready, mark it in the app so we know how we are doing.

Sending the link

In Secret Santa Twist every group has one invite link. Post it in the group chat, and each person who opens it signs in with Google and joins the group by themselves. Nobody has to collect names or e-mail addresses, and the list of participants is exactly the people who chose to take part.

If the link ends up somewhere it should not, an admin can replace it with a new one. People who have already joined stay in the group.
