Why does a generic party invitation sell poorly?+
Because it competes with every invitation on the site while matching no specific search. Naming the occasion in the title moves it into a far smaller pool of listings with far more intent behind it.
What order should the details go in?+
The occasion first and largest, then the date and time, then the location, then the RSVP. Guests scan in that order, and a design that inverts it gets read twice or not at all.
Can one design serve several occasions?+
It can, and that is the efficient way to work here. One layout relisted with the occasion changed reaches several searches from a single piece of artwork.
Should the file be editable by the buyer?+
Say clearly either way. An editable template and a personalize-it-for-them service are different products at different prices, and buyers get annoyed when the listing is vague about which they bought.
Can I sell party invitations made with AI on Etsy?+
Yes, with disclosure. Etsy allows AI-assisted designs under its Creativity Standards as long as you are clear about how they were made.
