We offer a selection of personalised birthday invitations suitable for both men and women, and for a wide range of party styles or themes.
Once you have chosen your favourite birthday invitations, the next step is to personalise them for your special event.

Take a look below for some hints and tips on what to write on your birthday invitations, as well as some party invitation wording ideas suited to different types of events. You may also wish to take a look at our kids party invitation wording.
What to write on your party invitations
Writing your party invitations should be relatively simple, as you just need to let people know where and when the party is happening and what you are celebrating. You can be as creative as you like when it comes to your party invitation wording, adapting your tone of wording to suit the theme or style of your party. As a basic guide, party invitations should include:
- Your name
- Type of party: Let your guests know what special occasion or milestone your party is in aid of, whether that be your 30th birthday or your engagement.
- Date and time of the party
- Party venue: be sure to include the full address if you think that your guests will be using their SatNav to find the party venue.
- RSVP details if required
- Dress code if applicable
Birthday invitation wording ideas
Your birthday invitation wording will vary based on the formality of your party and who is actually hosting the event. Whilst the above tips on what to write on your party invitations give you a basic outline for your text, the birthday invitation wording ideas below are a great place to start when looking for inspiration on how to join all the party details together and how to adapt your birthday invitation wording to suit the style of your event!
