Wording for Birthday Invitation Cards
Birthday parties today have taken the word 'fun' to an all together different platform, with teenagers, young adults and those celebrating milestone birthdays, redefining the entire idea of a party. It's fun, sometimes extravagant and above all different for the sake of being memorable.
Birthdays shouldn't be downplayed for it is a time to celebrate an age you will never be able to relive again. The thought is not only saddening but scary. Partying like there's no tomorrow is what birthdays are about. To give one a sneak preview of what they're in for on your birthday, you should most definitely have an invitation ready for your closest and best friends.
The wording for birthday invitation cards can be wacky, vague, or outright with the details of what the party is going to be like with maybe a few surprises in store for the guests. Be sure to hand these out well in advance so that the invitees are free and have enough time to make sure that they keep that particular birthday weekend free.
How to Word Out a Birthday Invitation
It isn't hard to include wording in a birthday invitation when you're as excited as you are for your party. Just think of what you're party entails and go with the flow once you have an idea of what you're arranging for your bash.
Choose a design that goes with the theme of your party. Are you going to have a formal affair? One with costumes involved maybe? Or a barbecue or swimming pool bash? Whatever you choose from, be it a house party or one that has guests coming to a venue you've specially selected for the night / weekend, the idea should be translated into the invite. You can also mislead your guests to create an element of mystery without revealing too much except when and where they need to be.
Bear in mind that landmark birthdays are usually those that you really turn into quite an event. The ages that these occur at are 16. 18, 21, 25, 30 and so on. If it's just another birthday no one's telling you not to celebrate it with pomp and show, but if it is a landmark birthday then just triple up on the fun.
If there are others hosting your party (like your parents or a bunch of generous friends) they can instead design the invite and include the birthday girl / guy as a third person (you'll see such an example in the invite on the left). You could, of course, write the invite in third person speech if you'd like, as an alternative to first person.
Once you have your design ready, it's down to the wording part. Include fun artwork and creative wording that can either have a riddle, quirky poem, or straight-forward description of what the party is all about and where it's happening. Don't forget to include the date, where it is better to put up a time earlier than when the party actually begins so that all guests are on time and present before the party begins.
Mention on the invites that they guests have to carry these with them for confirmation on being invited if your venue is easy to reach by outsiders. This avoids others from party-crashing the event.
Some may have trouble with parking so be sure to mention if there will be valet services at the venue. Other than that, be sure to give out the invitations at least two weeks before the big weekend.
The samples will give you an idea of how invitations don't have to be so formal or boring, but upbeat and artsy. Choose from TV characters and other personal favorite elements, to funky patterns and themed highlights in your invitation. The invitations contain fictional characters and are just samples of what the invites can look like once designed. These should help inspire you to make some pretty cool invites. Be sure to include a just as snazzy envelope for your invite, and have the names of your guests scrawled on these, or written on the invitation.
