These essential details must be included in your birthday invitation writing:

  • Name and Age: For someone celebrating a milestone, particularly age, that should be emphasized on the alert. You could also add a photo card for a more personalized touch!
  • When and Where: Be very clear about the party's hour, date, and location. Is this in your home or another venue? Make sure the guests will know.
  • RSVP Details: How and when to RSVP should be included. It will be very easy to collect responses using online invitations like Paperless Posts.
  • Activities: Let the guests know what activities will happen so they can plan or bring some stuff: sportswear for rock climbing or swimwear for a pool party. And if it is a surprise, make sure they tell no one!
  • Food: Let your guests know whether a complete meal is being served or if it is just snacks and drinks. This is of course a major factor when planning children's parties but should go for adults too!
  • Gifts: If the guest of honor doesn't want gifts, then mention No gifts, please. You could add, though, if some gifts are preferred, especially for a teen who would have preferences.
  • Directions and Parking: If there are parking restrictions involved, add anyway, and directions will go a long way in helping the guests find the venue easily.

With these few but important details, your birthday invitation is ready to go!
