EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BIRTHDAY INVITATION WORDING

So you’re throwing a birthday party and you’re prepping your invitations, but then you sit down to actually Birthday Invitation Card write the things and… hmm… Birthday invitation wording can be a little intimidating, and actually getting started is often the hardest part.

INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR BIRTHDAY INVITATIONS:
The most important thing about your birthday invitation wording is that it communicates all the necessary information as clearly as possible. So what information is necessary?

WHO
You should obviously let guests know who the party is for, but you should also clarify who exactly is being invited. Don’t leave your guest wondering if they can bring their boyfriend or their kids. Address your card to all the people you intend to invite.

WHAT
A birthday party, of course! But what else can you tell them about it? If there’s a special birthday party theme or dress code, make sure this is clear on the invitation.

WHEN
The date and time of your party are some of the most important details, since guests can’t attend if they don’t know what date to set aside or what time to show up!

WHERE
Your birthday party location is another key piece of info: guests can’t show up if they don’t know where to show up to! Make sure you include the name of the venue and the address of the venue to avoid confusion.

GIFT INFORMATION
If you want to request that guests don’t bring any gifts or you’ve decided to register for specific gift ideas, it’s perfectly appropriate to include this information on the birthday invitation itself. Alternatively, you might want to add a link to a website or even a Facebook event and include this sort of information online.

RSVP DETAILS
Tell guests what date you need an RSVP by, and how they can RSVP. That will probably just be a phone number or email address: most people today don’t comply with requests for formal written RSVPs when the event is just a birthday party. If the event is particularly formal, though (think black tie), it’s totally fine to include a dedicated RSVP card and ask guests to return it.
