When to send birthday invitations
Send children’s party invitations two to three weeks ahead; school terms are busy and parents plan weekends early. Milestone adult birthdays deserve four to six weeks’ notice, especially if guests travel. Set the RSVP date about a week before the party so you can confirm numbers with a venue or caterer. If invitations go out at school, check the school’s policy — many ask that invitations be given to the whole class or sent privately.
Printing the invitations
- Print on white or pastel card stock (65–110 lb / 175–300 gsm).
- Choose “Actual size” so each invitation is exactly 5 × 7 inches.
- Cut along the dashed lines — a paper trimmer gives straight edges.
- Fill in with a fine felt-tip pen, or type the details in the Word version first.
- Use A7 envelopes; add a sticker or a few confetti pieces for fun.
Kids’ party planning in brief
Keep guest numbers manageable — a common guideline is the child’s age plus one for young children. Plan one or two structured activities and some free play, serve food before cake, and allow time for present opening or skip it at the party. The party planner in the pack covers a timeline, shopping list, food, games, goody bags and a budget.
Thank-you notes
A short thank-you note teaches children gratitude and lets guests know their gift arrived. Younger children can draw a picture or sign their name while an adult writes the message; older children can write their own. Send notes within two weeks of the party.
Formats
Print-ready PDF invitations and thank-you cards (US Letter; A4 with “Fit to page”), an editable Word invitation and an Excel party planner and guest list.
