"We live in an era of Facebook Events and group texts. They are convenient, but they are also easy to ignore.
A real custom birthday invitation passes the Fridge Test. When your guests open the envelope and feel the premium cardstock, see the cohesive theme, and read the details, they don't just swipe it away — they stick it on the refrigerator. It builds anticipation. It signals that this isn't just a casual hang-out; it's a milestone worth clearing the calendar for."

Who orders birthday invitations with us
Most popular
First birthday invitations
The first birthday is the one where every family member shows up. Our 1st birthday invitations are available for boys, girls, and gender-neutral themes — customized with the baby's name, birthdate, and your party details. Popular styles include "wild one," "one in a melon," "fairy first birthday," and "berry first birthday." These invitations are thick enough to frame after the party.
Kids birthday invitations
For parties ages 2 through 12, our birthday invitations for kids cover themed designs, character-inspired palettes, and bold colors that match your party décor. Boy birthday invitations and girl birthday invitations each have their own style ranges — or go with something that works for both. Works for school hand-outs and mailed invitations alike.
Milestone birthday invitations for adults
Adult birthday invitations for 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, and 90th birthdays. These are the parties people actually need advance notice for — babysitters, travel, time off work. A well-designed invitation sets the expectation. We offer separate styles for him and for her, plus surprise birthday invitations and joint birthday options.
Party-specific invitations
Pool party birthday invitations, bowling party invitations, tea party birthday invitations, soccer and sports themes, Halloween birthday invitations — these formats match your venue as much as your guest of honor. We also do blank birthday invitations for hosts who want to fill in details by hand.
When to send birthday invitations
Timing depends on who's coming and what they need to arrange:
Pro tip: the envelope tease
Don't leave the envelope blank. The excitement should start before they even open the flap. Use a custom round sticker or label to seal the back of the envelope. It adds a pop of color and makes the letter feel like "happy mail" rather than a bill — and it takes ten seconds per envelope to apply.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I get birthday invitations printed?
Right here. We print birthday invitations in-house at our Florida facility on heavyweight cardstock. You upload your design or work from one of our templates, we print and ship. If you've been searching for where to print birthday invitations or birthday invitations near me — ordering online and having them mailed to you directly is almost always faster and cheaper than local print shops.
What's the standard size for birthday invitations?
The most common sizes are 4×6 inches and 5×7 inches. Both fit standard A6 and A7 envelopes. For kids' parties where you're handing out invitations at school, 4×6 works well. For milestone adult parties where you want more room for event details and photos, 5×7 is the right call. We offer both.
Can I get personalized birthday invitations with a photo?
Yes — photo birthday invitations are one of our most-ordered formats, especially for first birthdays and milestone adult parties. Upload your image during customization and we'll incorporate it into the design. For first birthday invitations, a photo of the child is the first thing grandparents look for when they open the envelope.
What should I include on a birthday invitation?
The essentials: guest of honor's name, party date and start time, venue address, RSVP date and contact, and any dress code or theme details guests need to know. For kids' parties, note whether siblings are invited. For surprise parties, add a bold "SURPRISE!" so no guest accidentally tips off the honoree. Don't skip the RSVP — it's the only way to get an accurate headcount.
Do you offer blank birthday invitations I can fill in by hand?
Yes. Blank birthday invitations come pre-designed with space left for you to write in the date, time, and location. They're popular for last-minute parties or for hosts who prefer handwriting details. They print and ship fast — and feel more personal than a fully digital card.
