How Do You Fill Out a Birthday Invitation?
You'd assume that filling out birthday invitations would be an easy thing to do, but anyone who's had to write out 30 identical invitations before knows it's an easy thing to get wrong. Party invitations must be written out carefully and precisely, to ensure that all of the information on the card is present, correct, and legible! If it's not, you may find yourself hosting a party with no guests - because nobody could figure out where to turn up. Follow these essential tips on writing out birthday invitations to make sure that step one of your birthday party is completed without issue.
Be neat

The first rule is to write in your very best handwriting. Writing by hand is becoming a forgotten skill, but at times like these, it's important to write slowly, carefully, and above all legible. Unless you're a seasoned calligrapher, don't attempt any fancy handwriting flourishes at the risk of making your invites less clear. The most important thing is that your writing is neat and tidy.
Be consistent

It's a good idea to take a blank sheet of paper and write down, exactly, all of the details you want to include in the invitations before you start. Usually, this will include the name of the person whose birthday you're celebrating, the location and address of the party, the time and day of the party, and contact details for guests to RSVP to. Decide in advance how it's best for guests to contact you - via text or email? - and whether you want to include extra information about the duration of the party, food, or dress code.
Be meticulous
Remember that while some of the details of the party date and venue might be obvious to you, they might not be to your guests. Always include extra details like the postcode of the venue if it's possible that some of your guests won't know where you mean. If you know how long the party will last, or there's a set time that guests need to leave by, include this information too. Whatever you do, just take your time. As long as you are neat, consistent and meticulous, your birthday party invitations are as good as done.
