Information To Include On A Birthday Party Invitation

Birthday party invitations are made first and foremost to invite guests to your event. They are also intended to communicate specific event details to those guests. When sending out birthday party invitations, here's what each invitation should say to make sure that all your guests know all the information they need:

1. The date and time the party will take place. It's also a great idea to include the time it will finish.
2. The location
3. If it's just the guest invited or if they are allowed to bring along a plus one.
4. The dress code, such as what theme the party will be and what to/what not to wear.
5. An RSVP deadline (if required).
6. A brief description of the event and if guests are required to bring something along.

Party Invitation Card FAQs

How to choose party invitations?

Choose invitations that suit your party theme. For kids' parties, there are many themed invitations to choose from such as princesses, unicorns, Disney characters and more. For other parties, choose a colour or a plain invitation for an understated touch.

How long should you wait before sending party invitations?

It all depends on what type of event you are holding. For formal events such as weddings, invitations are sent out around one year in advance. For other special events such as an 18th birthday party, a couple of months gives you enough time to plan the party and ensure guests can clear a spot in their calendars.

For informal events like a backyard pool or beach party, a few weeks should be enough time to ensure everyone can make it. If it's a costume party, it might be a good idea to send the invitation cards out at least one month before, as finding a particular costume might take more time for your guests.

How big is an invitation card?

An invitation card should typically measure slightly smaller than a regular envelope to allow it to easily fit into mailboxes when sent out to guests. Or for those handing invitations out in person, take into consideration where the invitation may be displayed. Often, people choose to display envelopes on the door of their fridge with a magnet for a daily reminder of when the event will take place. Ensure your invitations are not too large or heavy that they cannot be displayed this way. Consider shopping for invitations that are large enough to present the information you wish to communicate while remaining compact enough to display on a fridge.
