Kids' birthday invitations

Whether you’re inviting everyone in class, the whole soccer team, or just a few of your kid’s besties, Paperless Post has kids' birthday invitations for all types of celebrations. Our invitation designs make it easy to coordinate with your kid’s favorite things—from gaming to unicorns and everything in between.

Sending birthday invitation cards with Paperless Post lets you keep track of RSVPs, ask Guest Questions, and collect kid vs. adult headcounts, so everyone gets a piece of cake (and you have peace of mind!). Plus, matching party must-haves from Paperless Post Party Shop are like the icing on the cake—and your party planning process.

Kids' birthday invitation themes

Is your kid a dino lover, a rainbow admirer, or a sports enthusiast? We have birthday invitations to match! Pick one of our dinosaur invitations, rainbow invitations, or sports birthday invitations that set the theme and make guests smile. For babies and toddlers, choose from our adorable first birthday invitations or cake and sweets invitations for your sweet little one.

Older kids’ parties may be based on the venue where it’s being held—that’s why we have pool party invitations or bounce house and trampoline invitations available. And when it comes to teen parties, our selection of teen birthday invitations turns even the most stubborn young adults into grinning partygoers.

You can also choose designs that focus on a milestone birthday, including a variety of bar and bat mitzvah invitations, quinceañera invitations, or sweet 16 invitations that all ring in a very special year that your kid will always remember.

How to create kids' birthday invitations online

It’s easier than ever to design, send, and manage your invitations when you use kids’ birthday invitation templates from Paperless Post. Choose a template from one of our talented design partners like Hello!Lucky and Meri Meri. Then, edit your invitation’s look and feel to match your kid’s personality. Choose sparkling Backdrops, sprinkle your invitation with festive stickers, and upload a photo to create a customizable stamp. Find a Page Style that matches your party’s vibe, making your invitation feel as unique as the guest of honor.

Before you send your invitation, add event details to keep guests in the know about your party. Include open-ended questions for guests to answer as they RSVP, such as “Do your children have any food allergies?” You can also select the option to collect headcounts for adults and children to plan the right number of gift bags and refreshments. And, when the RSVPs start rolling in, it’s easy to track who hasn’t replied yet so that you can follow up with plenty of time before the big day.

When to send kids' birthday party invitations

The timing for sending birthday party invitations depends on the age of your child and what your venue needs. Most kids’ birthday party invitations, including first birthday parties and kids’ parties hosted at home, should go out around four weeks before the event itself. If you’re hosting at another venue, send your invitations six weeks before the party for the most accurate headcount as early as possible.

For milestone birthdays with extra-special celebrations, such as a quinceañera or bar mitzvah, invitations should go out 8–10 weeks before the party—similar to a wedding invitation. These events usually require more planning than other birthday parties, which means there’s usually more time between the invitation and the party itself.

Kids' birthday invitation wording

Include a kids’ birthday invitation message that celebrates the guest of honor—and clues guests into the details of your party. Add where and when the party takes place as well as whether guests need to bring anything (such as swimsuits or comfortable clothes). If you’re providing a meal at your party, add the details in your invitation wording, as well.

Use Blocks to keep your birthday party invitation organized and easy to read. Gift Blocks let you add gift ideas for the guest of honor—it’s also a good place to indicate that you’d prefer no gifts at all. Details Blocks enable you to add even more information about your party, such as whether siblings are invited or if parents can drop off their kids.

Kids’ birthday party decorations

Once you choose your kids’ birthday party theme and invitation design, it’s time to find matching decorations—and we have that covered, too! Paperless Post Party Shop has coordinating party decorations for any kids’ party theme, from mermaids to monsters or whatever your kids are into these days. Choose animal-themed party balloons or garlands and banners perfect for a pirate party. If you’re hosting a safari shindig, add wild stickers and temporary tattoos to everyone’s goodie bags!

For kids whose birthdays fall close to holidays, we have décor that works for both festivities. Add Halloween decorations to an October birthday that’s both spooky and silly, or combine a summer birthday with a 4th of July celebration. No matter when, where, or how you’re hosting, Paperless Post will keep your theme consistent, from invitation to venue to goodbyes.

Plan your kid's birthday party with Paperless Post

We know how special a kid’s birthday party is to them—and to parents, too. That’s why we take the organizational work out of the party planning process and let you enjoy the celebration. From customizable invitations to guest management tools, Paperless Post makes it easy to throw the best party ever without losing any sleep over the details.
