The Ultimate Guide to

Creating the Perfect Birthday Invitation for Kids

Birthday invitations are a simple way to invite your child’s friends to their birthday party. They usually include the date, time, and location of the birthday party, as well as any expectations for parents or suggested things to bring. That’s why birthday invitations are an important part of any successful party – they offer a place to reference party details and help remind guests of the requirements of the party if there are any.

In this post, we’ll help you create the perfect birthday invitation for kids. From revealing the pros and cons of digital birthday invitations versus mailed ones to explaining how to create your guest list, and even how you can customize your kid’s invitations to fit their special day, you’ll leave with everything you need to get started.

 

Digital Birthday Invitations vs. Mailed Birthday Invitations

If you’re trying to decide between digital invitations and good old snail mail invitations, we’ve got the rundown of the pros and cons of each option to help you choose.

Digital Birthday Invitations: Pros

  • Digital birthday invitations offer a range of pros because of how quick and easy they are to create and disburse.
  • Not only that, but digital invitations are quite cost-effective. There’s virtually no cost to creating them, only a requirement that you use some of your time to find your favorite photo and get creative!
  • While digital invitations can feel a bit less personal, they are incredibly convenient. There’s no need to hand-write out guests’ names on them – instead just fill in one invitation for everyone and send them out through email. This can also save you time in the long run and help you avoid sending anything through the mail, which costs both time and money.
  • Lastly, digital birthday invitations offer a way to track which of your guests are planning to attend. Each invitee can RSVP with the click of a button, and they can also have everything about the event in the palm of their hand. Oftentimes, people would rather be able to look back on an invitation that is online because it’s easily accessible and goes with them everywhere – something that you can’t compare with a mailed invitation.

Digital Birthday Invitations: Cons

While there are many pros to digital invitations, there are some cons as well.

  • One con is that it can’t be kept as a keepsake to look back on like a printed invitation with a photo and theme could. These keepsakes are fun to reminisce about as kids grow and change, and it doesn’t quite feel the same looking at a screen as it does a physical card.
  • Digital invitations could also feel less formal, as they are coming through online. They are also not suitable for all age groups. If you are hosting a celebration for a young child, it might be better to send a mailed invitation since they won’t be able to feel and touch a digital version.
  • Our last con on the digital option is that it can easily be overlooked or forgotten. While many are often on their devices throughout the day, often times some emails or invites end up in the wrong inbox. While this isn’t intentional, it is a possibility that could happen when you choose to go digital, which is why we recommend telling all of the adults that were on the guest list to make sure they got it.

Mailed Birthday Invitations: Pros

  • Mailed birthday invitations offer their own unique pros. They can be created on beautiful stationery, and personalized in a way that a digital invitation may not be. They are more formal and traditional, which works great if you are having a party with that kind of theme or style, or if you are celebrating an older child’s birthday.
  • Mailed birthday invitations are also tangible and memorable. These can be held on to even after the event has passed, and they can serve as a positive way to look back on the celebration.

Mailed Birthday Invitations: Cons

While there are many pros to choosing mailed invites, there are some cons to consider as well.

  • Mailed invitations can be kept, but they are also more expensive and time-consuming to create. You have to print them out, use a few different photos, and make them look nice. You also have to spend time and money putting them in envelopes, addressing them, and sending them.
  • While digital invites go out instantly, mailed invitations take time to reach people. For this reason, they can potentially come late and may not reach all of your invitees in time.
  • When it comes to RSVP tracking, it’s more difficult to maintain a list of who is coming or not, as you’ll have to wait for your guests to confirm by phone. This can be a con of mailed invites and may be a good reason for you to invest in the digital option instead.

Who to Invite to the Birthday Party

When considering who to invite to the birthday party, it’s crucial to start with your list. Creating a guest list will help you get organized and help you ensure that you have the right group of kids that will get along during the party.

When creating your list, determine how many people you intend to invite to the party, and begin writing down their names. Be sure to think about the child’s age, location, and personality when you decide on how many kids to invite.

We suggest including close friends, classmates, and family members to start with, and then you can add additional invitees as needed or available. To make it easier on yourself, you’ll want to have an early enough date for your RSVP’s so that you can continue party planning accordingly. This way, you’ll know if you need to add extra guests, how many party favors to hand out, and what to expect on the big day.

At the end of the day, the guest list should reflect the child’s personality and preferences, creating a fun and memorable birthday party for all those involved. After all, when everyone gets along and has a good time, that’s what makes it memorable!

 

Tips for Creating Memorable Birthday Party Invitations

It’s almost time to celebrate, but you need to create birthday invitations that wow. These tips will help you get started planning the perfect template for your child’s party.

  1. Personalize the Invitation: If you’re planning a party theme, think about all the details and decor you could use on the invite. Choose fun, relevant stickers, and be sure to keep the child’s age in mind as you personalize. Also, it’s a good idea to ensure that each invitation has the right child’s name on it, so it feels special and meaningful.
  2. Keep It Simple: It doesn’t have to be difficult. Your invitations can be cute without having to be over the top. Choose a favorite image or background, include the necessary event details that people would want to know, and move forward. Our fun pre-designed templates above are sure to excite your invited guests!
  3. Use High-Quality Images: Whether you choose printed or mailed invites, it’s always a good idea to use high-quality images. These will look better when the size is adjusted and overall will help you maintain a stunning invitation aesthetic. We’ve got you covered with our ready-to-print invite options.
  4. Proofread and Edit: It’s crucial to review what you’ve made when you think you’re done. Go back and read all the words and spell-check everything on your invite. We also recommend having someone else take a look, as it’s always good to get another set of eyes to check for errors.
  5. Send the Invitation in Advance: Giving people more time to clear their schedule is a tip you won’t regret following, especially if you want to have a good turnout on the day of the party.
  6. Mention the Birthday Theme: If you’re planning a party that has a theme, tell others on the invitation that they are welcome to join in on the fun. This way, your child won’t be the only one in on the theme and others can get involved too!
  7. Don’t forget the Details: Make sure to give your guests information on what they should wear and bring to the party. You’ll want to make sure all guests wear comfy clothes so they can enjoy all our fun attractions. It’s also a great idea to get your party guests to sign our waivers in advance so there’s less to do on party day.
