How to Word Children's Birthday Invitations

Invite others to your child's birthday party.

Planning a birthday gathering for your child can be an exciting endeavor. Clever invitations can set the tone for the party to come and cause guests to begin eagerly anticipating the fun. Spreading the word about your child's birthday party can also help you with planning. You will know exactly how many people to expect at the event, which will prevent you from over- or under-spending.

Instructions

1. Include catch words to let the child know that she is the recipient of a special invitation. For example, you can say "Calling all princes and princesses!" You can place this on the front of the birthday invitation as an attention grabber.

2. State the "who" and the "what." The invitation recipient should know whose birthday it is and that a birthday party is planned. For example, you can say "You are hereby summons to attend Princess Jane Doe's Royal 8th Birthday Party."

3. Include the date and time of the birthday party. Specify how early the child can arrive. This will prevent unchaperoned children from being dropped off too early by parents.

4. Place the location of the birthday party on the invitation.

5. Mention whether or not there is a special dress code for the party. For example, you can say "Be sure to wear your favorite prince/princess costume" or "Bring your royal swimsuits to enjoy the water."

6. State whether or not the child needs to respond to the invitation. By requiring a response, you can get an accurate head count of attendees.
