Some birthdays require a little pre-show fanfare, especially if you’re traveling or planning a group activity that needs a reservation. That's what our birthday save the dates do best. Discover our thoughtfully-designed templates that let you customize perfect save the dates for this year’s trip around the sun. If it’s been a while since your last party-planning adventure or you want some fresh ideas to mull over, we’ve got plenty of tips on how to plan a birthday party as well as surprise birthday ideas that add memorable fun to the celebration.

Save the date birthday cards

You’ll find birthday save the date designs for the most important of occasions: 1st birthdays, milestone birthdays, surprise parties, and every other momentous annual event you could dream of. A save the date is the best way to not only ensure that your favorite people will be available to attend but also build suspense and excitement for the festivities. For now, you don’t need to get into the nitty-gritty details like dress code, gifts, or directions to the event, but it’s a good idea to have your birthday party theme nailed down so you can create your save the date around it. It’s the first thing guests will see and it’ll give them a hint at what they can expect when attending your birthday party.

Creating your birthday save the date card

For ideas that are as limitless as your imagination, our online design tools let you customize any of our save the date birthday templates. Start by changing the all-important save the date birthday party wording to your liking. We start you off with some inspiration to build off of, but there aren’t any strict rules here. You’ll have license to edit the background of your online invitation, as well as the fonts, text color, layout, envelope, and liner. Add one of our hand-drawn stamps from the collection for a realistic final touch.

How do you send an online birthday party save the date?

Getting the word out about your upcoming birthday party is simple. Once you’ve finished editing your design simply upload your guest list or connect your address book and send your save the dates by email, text, or shareable link. The best part is guests can add the date to their digital calendars straight from the invitation, making sure they will attend the big event.

When should you send out birthday party save the dates?

Eight weeks in advance is the prime time to send your birthday party save the dates if you want a sensational turnout. If you’ve got lots of friends living in far-off locales that need plenty of notice for traveling, send your birthday save the dates up to three months beforehand. A little extra time leaves wiggle room for guests to get organized with travel plans and block the day off on their calendar before another event snags their attention. Once you’ve dispatched your gorgeously crafted save the date, the next step is sending the official birthday party invitation. If you’ve used our platform in the past, all your previous recipients’ information will be saved so all you need to do is select who’s attending. After sending your invitations, you’ll be able to receive RSVPs and stay up to date with the confirmations.
