How Do You Write a Birthday Invitation For a Friend?
So your birthday is on the horizon. You have an event or an activity in mind, and you just need to send the invitations. But first, you need to write to them.
An adult birthday invitation which is personally written - whether it is for a 21st, 30th, or 40th - can have so much more impact than a generic, printed note. So put some time and effort into writing your own invitations. And don't worry, because in this blog we’re sharing some of our tips with you.

Parties are all about celebration and having a good time with your friends. So start as you mean to go on from the first words of your invitation! Begin on a happy note; whether it's a joke related to your age, a reference back to the last birthday party which you held, or a rallying cry to your friend that you are ready to go out and have a good time, and require their company.

What's your plan? If you aren't excited about it, how can you expect anyone else to be chomping at the bit? Once you have set the tone, lay out the plan, and what people can look forward to. Whether it's several rounds of your favourite drink, a fun group activity, or a night on the town with a 'crawl' through multiple venues - give a rough agenda for the night without making it seem too organised. Birthday parties are typically relaxed affairs, so see how the night goes.

Include the essentials
While the tone should be relaxed and happy, you shouldn't forget to include all the essential information. A start time is one of the most important, especially if you are going somewhere and have booked transport, or have booked a certain activity or venue. If the location isn't familiar with your friend, you might want to include a helpful map or clear directions to the meeting spot.Make it personal?
