When to Send Birthday Invitations

Every special occasion deserves great stationery, and your birthday party is no exception! From the fold of the card to its color, the right kind of birthday invitations can make or break your party.

When birthdays come around, it’s time to celebrate! So, gather up the balloons, party hats and icing-slathered cakes and prepare for your big bash.

A birthday invitation is a key element in party planning, since it tells guests when and where the celebration will be held and gives people permission to attend. Read on to find out more about birthday invitations.

When announcing the big day, a person has to ask themselves, “Should I print the birthday invitations or should I opt to write out all the information by hand?” The answer will vary depending upon your personal style, party size, and available printer specs. Indeed, there are some distinct differences between fill-in-the-blank and printable stationery.

When sending out birthday invitations, it’s important to know that sending them out too late could cause people to have little notice and miss the party as a result, or sending them out too early could make people forget when the party is being held. So, choose a happy medium.

Send out an invitation to your birthday party about two weeks in advance. That way people know it’s coming up, they have time to plan and there’s a better chance they will attend. If you’re sending birthday invitations to people who live out of town, send them a month in advance.
