What to put on a birthday invitation
- Whose party, and the age — kids love seeing the number
- Date and start time — and an end time for kids parties, so parents know when to pick up
- The full address — add the floor, a gate code or "ring the side door" if needed
- How to reply, and by when — a name, a phone number and a date
- What to bring or wear — a swimsuit, a sleeping bag, costumes, or "no gifts, please"
When to send birthday invitations
| Party | Send it |
|---|---|
| Kids party | 2–3 weeks before |
| First birthday | 3–4 weeks before |
| Teen party or sleepover | 2 weeks before |
| Adult birthday | 3–4 weeks before |
| Milestone (40, 50, 60…) | 4–6 weeks before — people travel for these |
| Surprise party | 3–4 weeks before, with a clear "keep it secret" |
Ask for replies about one week before the party, so you can order the cake and the food.

How many invitations fit on one sheet?
Choose 1 (the whole page), 2 or 4. On US Letter, 2 per sheet makes invitations of about 7½ × 4.9 inches, and 4 per sheet about 3.7 × 4.9 inches.
Can I make an invitation for a whole class?
Yes. Print as many sheets as you need — 4 per sheet gives 24 invitations from 6 sheets. Leave the name of each guest off, or write it by hand on the top.
What paper should I use?
Card stock (thicker paper) looks and feels best. For bright designs on a pale background, normal paper is fine too.
Is my invitation private?
Yes. The PDF and the picture are made in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Your last invitation is saved in this browser, so you can print more later.
