Birthday party invitations wording is very important in setting the tone expected at the event. With a little careful thought in your wording you can be sure the party will have the feel the guest of honor will appreciate.

When starting your birthday party invitations you will typically know what the theme or tone of the birthday party is intended to be. It could be anything from a character theme to classic and mature. You will want your guests to be aware of this before they arrive at the big event. Your party invitations wording should reflect the theme and tone.

If your party is a themed party you will want to make that clear in the wording of the invitation. For example, if it is a nautical themed use terms that are nautical in nature such as “Come Set Sail with Us!”

Making sure that your guests get a feel for the event before they even arrive will ensure that you will have a nice turn out. They will be drawn to the excitement of your event.

These are invitations and so they should be “inviting.” Be exciting in your wording. Words such as “It’s a Party!” “Come Join Us!” or “Don’t Miss It!” can create a feeling of excitement and anticipation.

If the party is intended to be an event full of laughs such as an “over the hill” party or a “sweet 16 party” you will want to be sure that is obvious to the would be guests.

If the guest of honor is a child you will want to incorporate the age of the child in the invitation to help the guests prepare age appropriate gifts. You will likely want to put any milestone age on he card as well for example for a 21st birthday party or a 50th birthday party you will want to state that someplace on the invitation.

Another important aspect of the birthday party invitations wording is to be sure you have all the pertinent information in an easy to find manner. Do not put so much information onto the invitation that the basics are hard to find. Your guests should be able to find the location, date and time, and RSVP contact information easily. If they have to search for that information the invitation may end up in a pile of “to do’s” only to never be done or left to the last minute causing headache for the host.
