Since birthday party invitations are the first hint of a party on the horizon, you will want to be sure to do them right the first time. They can help you set the tone of your party, establish the theme, and cause your guests to anxiously look forward to your upcoming event with excitement and anticipation. However, a boring, hum drum invitation may conversely cause a person to say to themselves, Oh, (name) is having a party. Maybe I ll go if I m not doing anything else. With careful planning you can make sure that your invites insure that your guests will be scrambling to RSVP and arrive with anxious anticipation of having a great time!
BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS GUEST LIST
When considering how many guests to invite for a child s birthday party, the general rule of thumb is to invite the same number of kids as the age of the birthday child. For example, if your child is turning 7, then you would want to invite 7 friends. However, if you are able to lasso enough helpers, you may certainly expand the number of guests. Afterall, the more the merrier, as long as you have control. A great ratio of helpers to young guests would be 1 to 4. A good ratio is 1 to 5, and a maximum ratio would be 1 to 6.

Although we all know what should go on an invitation, the following is provided just as a gentle reminder, because many an invitation has been sent out with information missing. When this occurs, it causes everyone to call you, or you have to resend the invites, or you have to send out supplemental or revised info, all of which may cause confusion and could end badly with possible misunderstandings. Obviously, all of this can easily be avoided with careful planning. First of all, be sure to convey to your guests the party theme, the name of the birthday child, the age the child will be turning, the date and time of the party, the party s location, along with directions if necessary, and appropriate RSVP contact info should include name and phone number or email address.

If it is a slumber party, remind guests to bring PJ s and a change of clothes for the next day.

If the party involves anything that requires parent approval or signing off on liability forms, e.g, going to a paintball facility, be sure to take care of this ahead of time so no one is left out.
