Purchasing invitations is one option, but you can also make your own or find printable invitations online. This Topic is your guide to finding or making the perfect invitation for the birthday party you are planning.

What to say on a birthday invitation

Include the start time, date, and location.
For children's parties, be sure to include an end time for the party, too.
Consider including directions if the location is difficult to find.
Mention the theme of the party.
Give guests hints on what to wear. For example, guests will want to bring swimwear for a pool party, dress up for a formal party, or dress comfortably for a party that involves outdoor physical activities.
Say whether or not a meal will be served.
Include your contact information so that guests can RSVP.
Be clear about who is invited-- is the invitation for the whole family? Just the parents? Just the kids? Just one child?
Add "no gifts, please" if you prefer that your guests don't bring gifts.
