In order to promote this year's Lowcountry Field Fest, an annual event that supports farmers and businesses in the Charleston area, a unique party invitation was sent out. Since one of the main things that draws people to parties is the food, this is a clever way to give the invited guests a taste of what to expect on the day of the event.
The Lowcountry Field Fest invitation features a treat prepared by Kevin Johnson of The Grocery, who is also the featured chef at this year's event. The labels on the mason jar invitations communicate all the details of the event, noting when and where it is plus what to expect over the course of the evening. Although paper invitations are likely to be tossed after being received, this jar can be reused, and whether or not a person can make it to the event, the contents of the jar will most likely be sampled.
