Birthday Party Invitation Etiquette: Important Do’s And Don’ts

December 22, 2017 By Ivan

Hosting a birthday party is an exciting, yet time-consuming event. It’s a time in someone’s life that should be celebrated with fun, laughter, and plenty of cake. However, in order to be able to throw a birthday party and get everyone in one location, you have to send out birthday invitations.

To send out the right birthday invitation, you’re going to have to know what to include and what not to include; otherwise people might show up at the wrong location!

Do:

1. Include the event’s address

The last thing you want to happen is that half of the part ends up at the wrong location. You can easily avoid this issue by making sure the address is included on your invitation, and is prominently displayed. If the location is hard to find (like a rural property) include instructions on how the person can find the location as well.

2. Add a dress code

It’s important to ensure that the guests know what to wear. The last thing you want is to have friends and family arrive in tracksuit pants when it’s a black-tie event – or vice versa. Remember, you want guests to feel comfortable and enjoy the event without being self-conscious about what they’re wearing.

3. Add an RSVP date

You’re going to need to know exactly who’ll be attending the said birthday, in which case you need to ensure that you add an RSVP date to your invitations. Guests are to RSVP within a timely manner in order to plan the venue and food expectancies. They remain your guests and you need to ensure that you practice proper RSVP etiquette to avoid any embarrassment and disappointment.

4. Order extra invitations

It’s always a great idea to order more invitations than you need at the time, as you may end up thinking of someone else to invite, or have miscounted your attendees. It’s better to be safe than sorry, especially for when it comes to important events like a birthday party.

Don’t:

1. Add a registry unless needed

Unless you’re planning a wedding or a baby shower, it’s not a good idea to add a gift registry to the invitations. It’s certainly not formal enough to add your gift list in order to let guests know what you’d like for them to purchase, rather be thankful for the gifts that you do receive.

2. Include too many details

It’s best to keep it short and sweet, writing only the necessary details such as time, date, venue etc. Too much information tends to make the birthday card seem too ‘busy’ or confusing – feelings you certainly don’t want your birthday invitations to resonate.  

3. Invite people you don’t want to

Your birthday party should include individuals that you really want have at your special day. It’s okay not to invite your long lost cousin, whom you don’t have a relationship with. Remember, if you haven’t seen them for a while and you rarely speak, you don’t to have them at your birthday party simply because they’re ‘family’.

4. Wait too long to send invitations

Finding unique birthday invitations online should be your first step in planning a birthday party.. Ideally, you should send casual birthday invitations at least three weeks ahead of time in order to give guests enough time to plan their schedules as well as RSVP. Remember, life gets busy, so start planning as soon as you can rather than waiting until the last minute.
