Need a starting point? Here is ready-to-use wording for the most common kinds of kids' birthday party, written the way real parents send them.
First birthday invitation wording
First birthdays are as much for the grown-ups, so the tone is usually warm and a little sentimental.
Our little one is turning ONE! Please join us to celebrate Mia's first birthday on Saturday, May 10 at 11 AM, at the Garcia home. Lunch and cake to follow. RSVP to Ana at 555-0142.
Where did the year go? Come celebrate Leo's first birthday with us. Sunday, June 8 at 2 PM, Lincoln Park shelter #3. No gifts needed, just your company. RSVP by June 1.
Kids' birthday party wording
For a standard kids' party, keep it short, clear, and fun, and make the RSVP details easy to find.
You're invited! Noah is turning 6 and we're celebrating with games and cake. Saturday, March 14 at 1 PM, Jump Zone Trampoline Park. RSVP to 555-0173 by March 7.
It's party time! Join us for Ava's 8th birthday on Saturday, April 5 from 2 to 4 PM at our house. Wear clothes you can get messy in. Let us know you're coming at ava.party@email.com.
Drop-off party wording
If you'd like parents to drop off rather than stay, say so politely and include a pickup time.
Liam is turning 9! This is a drop-off party, so kids can come have fun while you take a break. Saturday, July 12, 1 to 3 PM, Strike Lanes Bowling. Pickup at 3 PM sharp. RSVP to 555-0190.
Milestone birthday wording (10+)
Older kids often want something cooler than balloons and clowns, so the wording can be a bit more grown-up.
Double digits and beyond! Help us celebrate Zoe turning 12. Friday, October 3 at 6 PM, laser tag at Blast Arena. Pizza, prizes, and a whole lot of fun. RSVP to 555-0128 by September 26.
Birthday invitation wording FAQ
What should you write on a birthday invitation?
A birthday invitation needs six things: whose birthday it is and the age, the date, the start time, the location, how to RSVP (and by when), and any special notes like drop-off, dress code, or allergy info. A friendly opening line ties it together.
How do you word a kids' birthday party invitation?
Keep it short and warm. Open with a fun line, name the birthday child and age, give the date, time, and place on their own lines so they're easy to scan, then close with a clear RSVP request. Our generator does this for you in four tones.
How do you politely ask for no gifts?
Add a short, gracious line such as "Your presence is the only present we need" or "No gifts please, just bring yourself." Place it near the bottom so the key details still come first.
How do you ask for an RSVP on an invitation?
Be specific. Give a deadline and a single way to respond, for example "Please RSVP to 555-0142 by May 3." Digital invitations make this easier because guests reply with one tap and you can see responses in real time.
Should I write a drop-off or stay-and-play party?
Say so clearly in the invitation. For drop-off, add a pickup time so parents know the plan. For stay-and-play, a line like "Grown-ups welcome to stay" sets expectations and helps with your headcount.
Do I have to print invitations?
No. Printed invitations cost $20 to $50, but digital invitations are free with Party Parrot, include RSVP tracking, and reach both parents, which gets you faster replies.
