How to Write 90th Birthday Invitations

A 90th birthday celebration is a special and unique event. It is awe-inspiring to think of a person who has lived close to a century, and the amount of memories and experiences they have lived through. Because a 90th birthday is such a milestone event, you may feel a great deal of pressure to write the perfect birthday invitation. Although you may struggle to find the right words to express this event, there are several steps you can take that will help you to easily write a memorable 90th birthday invitation.

Instructions

1. Decide what type of birthday celebration you want to have. Choose whether or not you will be having a formal or informal party and whether it will be an intimate event or an occasion with a large guest list. Clarifying the type of event you plan to have will help you decide on the style of the 90th birthday invitation.

2. Take into consideration the personality and character of the person who is celebrating their 90th birthday. The wording on your birthday invitations should reflect the guest of honor.

3. Depending on what type of 90th birthday celebration you plan to have, you can create a birthday invitation that is either clever and humorous or more poetic and formal. On the front cover of your invitation, use either a light-hearted and funny quote or a sentimental and touching quote. See Resources for a list of famous quotations about aging.

4. On the inside of your invitation, enter all of the important details about the birthday event such as the date, time, location and the contact information for the RSVP.

5. Enter a quick note on the inside of your invitation that matches the style of the quotation on the front cover. For example, let's say you use the following funny quotation on the front, "The secret of staying young is to lie about your age." On the inside of the card, you could write, "Even if she lies about turning 90 next month, I don't know if anyone would believe it! Join [birthday person's name] in celebrating this huge event!"
