Kids' birthday invitations

Being a parent is hard work, so our goal is to make your job just a little easier. Especially when it comes to hosting a kids’ birthday party. Whether it’s their very first birthday or virtual birthday party invitations because while you’ve done this a few times, you've never done it virtually, our online birthday Cards and Flyers make party planning child’s play. Kick off your little one’s big day with classic stationery-inspired Card invitations, or send an animated Flyer to catch everyone’s attention. Whichever you choose, our invitations have no ads ever—for you or your guests. And in the time of Covid, we have you covered too. Check out our blog for virtual party ideas for kids birthday. We offer ideas that require Zoom, and some party plans that don't -- but that keep the distance between you and yours, all the while letting your little one be feted.

Whether your child is really into fire trucks or wants a PJ slumber party, we have designs for any type of kids’ birthday party. You want only the best virtual birthday invitations for your little one, so we’re here to help you make that happen.

When to send out birthday invitations for your little one

Luckily with kids’ birthday invitations, you have a little more wiggle room with your sending timeline. A good rule of thumb to follow is to send them out about three to five weeks before your event, but no sooner than eight weeks. If you have your details finalized and are eager to send before the five week mark—go for it! You can always send easy reminders to RSVP’d guests as your event approaches to put it back on their radar. If you’re coming up on the three week mark and still need to send your invites, don’t worry either. Sending kids birthday invitations online is fast and easy. You can create, customize, and send your invites in a snap.

How to make birthday party invitations for kids

Making your own birthday invitations is simple with both our Cards and Flyer invitations. Sending a card? Add your details to one of our designs, or use your own image with our Upload Your Own kids birthday invitations. Plus, pick out an envelope liner and digital backdrop to match. Sending a Flyer? Start with one of our birthday invitation templates, and customize it until it matches the vibe of your kids’ birthday party. Add your own photo of the birthday girl or boy, or add stickers to make it extra festive.

Need help with your design? Our Personal Design Services team is here to help! From custom “cake” invitation artwork to match the one you’re baking for the party, to changing the color hair on a character design, our design team can bring your dream invite to life. Our Support team can create original designs inspired by your kid’s photo, your party venue, or your party colors. Contact us today and enjoy complimentary custom design services for both Cards and Flyers. Whether you have a kids’ birthday invitation design in mind or are looking for a little creative inspiration, we’re here for you.

What to write in your birthday invitation

Once you’ve landed on the perfect design, you can start adding the most important details to your birthday invites. Wondering how to write a birthday invitation? Our templates make it easy for you to simply fill in your details, but also give you the freedom to edit your text if you want to get creative. Let guests know you’re excited for them to help you celebrate your little one’s big day by keeping your invite light and cheery. Make sure to mention how old your birthday girl or boy is turning, and let guests know if they need to bring anything so you can avoid all the follow-ups. Your kids’ birthday invitation wording is also a great place to add “no gifts” or if you would rather have guests make a charitable donation.

Managing your kids’ birthday party event

Whether you sent a Card or Flyer invitation, all of our invitation templates come with easy RSVP tracking. We make it easy for you to keep tabs on your headcount, and know how many guests are planning to attend. If you need to track headcount for both kids and adults, send a Flyer to keep track of those numbers separately. Forgot to mention a specific detail, or have event updates to share? Our custom birthday invitations also include free guest messaging so you can streamline all your communications. Instead of messaging individual guests, send a group message to all RSVP’d guests at once. It’s as simple as that.
