Birthday Invitation Templates

Birthdays are always very special. Everyone wants to share the excitement and joy with friends and family. But the excitement is something different when it's your kid's birthday party, especially if its her first birthday. At such occasions you need to invite a lot of guests and so you need to prepare for it, many days in advance. Before you think of a venue and the refreshments, it is important to think about birthday invitation cards. They have to be attractive, catchy, and should reflect the fun quotient. You also have to garnish the card with some heart warming or funny birthday invitation wordings for kids so that they are thrilled to attend the party. But how to club all these things together. Well this article would share some idea regarding the same so that you can create your own free printable invitation templates. Before I tell you about how to decorate the birthday party invitation templates, you must have a fair idea about birthday invitation wording templates as they form the core of any birthday invitation card.

Birthday Invitation Wordings

As I mentioned earlier, use some catchy wordings. Given below are some of the birthday invitation wording samples that you can take an idea from and come up with some new and creative wordings.

Apart from the fun and poetic wordings for birthday invitations, you can also try some semi formal wordings for older kids. Given below are some of examples of semi formal birthday invitation wordings.

You can use the above wordings for designing your birthday party invitation templates that will certainly make your invitations interesting. The age is a biggest factor while writing any wordings for birthday invitation cards. For example, 1st birthday invitation wording would be different from 50th birthday party invitation wording. So you have to choose the right words and set the right tone with the wordings.

What to Include in a Birthday Invitation Layout

A birthday invitation template must include the following things along with wordings.

• When is the birthday?
• Who's birthday it is?
• How old he or she has turned?
• Where is the birthday party venue?
• At what time the party starts?

It is better to send the invitations a week or at least three days before the party so that the invitees can plan for the party well in advance. The above things will help them buy age appropriate gifts and it can also help them don the right attire. You can decorate the invitation with crayons, colors, sequins, laces, ribbons, pictures, and add a variety of embellishments to make them attractive. You can also type and design the invitation card on computer and take a printout on a fancy handmade or colorful paper.
