How to Write Birthday Invitation Wording For Kids
When throwing a birthday party for a child, there are many things a parent will have to prepare before the big day. One of the first steps is to send out invitations to friends and family members. When wording the invitations, it is important to include pertinent information so guests know when to arrive and what to expect.
- Decide on a theme before you send out the invitations. This will help you choose the type of invitations and can influence what items guests need to bring, if any. Guests may enjoy dressing up if the theme calls for it. This step is optional if there is no specific theme for the party.
- Announce the party and explain the purpose of the party. For example, "Come celebrate Jane's 5th birthday party!"
- Include the date and the time of the party. Err on the safe side and include the day of the week. For example, write "Saturday, May 15th - 3 p.m."
- List the location of the party. Decide whether you simply want to include an address and instruct guests to look up directions, or you can include basic directions in the invitation wording.
- Include any instructions to guests. This text area can cover any guests requests, such as side dishes, gifts, etc.
- Give R.S.V.P. details. Include the cutoff date for responses, and provide a phone number or email address for guests to R.S.V.P.
- Address the envelope to the individuals invited. If you are inviting children, you may address the envelope directly to them or to their parents.
