A Christmas flyer the whole village pins up.
Øyvær IL and the volunteer centre hold a bingo and café night every December, and the money goes to food boxes. The poster goes on the shop door, the noticeboard at the school and the village Facebook group. It has to look like someone cared, and it has to say when and where.
What the owner typed
Why it works
- The Holly sets "Bingo og kafé" the way a volunteer with a good eye would: the first word in red script, the second in a round green bold.
- Date, time and place sit in one green brush band with a calendar and a pin. That is what people read from across the room.
- The cause and the ask for prizes come last, under a heart. Nothing on the poster is invented: the date and the place are set in type.
Questions
What should a Christmas flyer for a bingo or café night say?
Who invites, what it is, the date and time, the place, and what the money goes to. The cause gets people in the door; put it last, in plain words.
Can I ask for prizes or volunteers on the poster?
Yes: that is the line at the bottom, set in script so it reads as an invitation, not a demand.
Which look should I pick?
The Holly is made for this: cream paper, holly in the corners, a red script headline and the date in a green brush band. The Hearth is its autumn sister for October and November.
Is it free?
