How to Word a Birthday Party Invitation (Examples for Every Age)
The wording on a birthday invitation sets the mood before anyone arrives. Whether it is a kids party, a milestone birthday, or a low-key adult get-together, here are copy-and-paste examples for every age and tone.
What every birthday invitation needs
- Who the party is for (and what age, if you want)
- What kind of celebration it is
- When — date and time
- Where — venue and address
- RSVP — how and by when to reply
