That special day is right around the corner—time to plan the party of the year! We have everything you need to make this year’s birthday party one for the books. Find Paperless Post birthday party invitations for every occasion—and party decorations to match—from a surprise party for your best friend, a kids’ birthday party at the pool, or a family gathering for Grandma’s 90th.

Birthday invitation card designs

Choose from a variety of designer birthday invitation templates for every type of event. Colorful and sweet illustrations by Rifle Paper Co. welcome guests to your events with a brilliant splash, while kate spade new york invitations make a confident statement with stylish illustrations and bold lettering. If you’re looking for an elegant touch, try birthday party invitations by Stephanie Fishwick, which combine flowing scripts and botanical frames for sophisticated celebrations.

For casual birthday get-togethers, explore a collection of The Indigo Bunting birthday invitations that feature eye-catching images perfect for your party’s tone. Or send out a glittery, tassel-filled invitation from CONFETTISYSTEM that’ll start any birthday party off right.

Personalized online birthday invites

It’s easy to personalize the look and feel of your invitation with our digital birthday invitation maker. Choose a Backdrop with an image or color the guest of honor loves, and customize your invitation design style with fonts, colors, and festive stickers. Upload a photo to feature the guest of honor right on the Card or add a customized stamp with their smiling face instead. When you add a Photo Gallery Block to your invitation, you can feature many more images of the guest of honor, their family and friends—and even great pics from last year’s bash!

When you’re done with the invitation design, add Blocks to keep your invitation organized and informative. Include a Details Block for directions and parking instructions—an especially helpful feature when you’re organizing a top-secret surprise party! Or add a Gifts Block to provide a wish list of items the guest of honor will enjoy.

Choose whether you’d like to collect children and adult headcounts or if guests can bring plus-ones. And add open-ended Guest Questions to find out what your guests are bringing or whether they have dietary restrictions.

Milestone birthday celebration invitations

If this birthday is a big one, we have you covered there, too. Find hundreds of milestone birthday invitations for every memorable birthday occasion, from quinceañeras to the big 7-0 (and beyond). And don’t forget about milestone birthday party decorations! From balloon arches to personalized party supplies, Paperless Post Party Shop has the decór you need to ring in a very special year.

What to write in a birthday party invitation

Craft the perfect birthday invitation message that provides guests with the information they need to make the day as special as possible. Your invitation wording should include the basics—what kind of party it is, who it’s for, when it is (date and time), and where (your birthday party venue). If you’re throwing yourself a birthday party, let everyone know that you’re the host or hostess. Then, provide information about gifts in a Gifts Block with different options or a message asking for no gifts at all.

For parties with venues or vendors that require specific headcounts, add an RSVP deadline so guests get back to you ASAP (and you have time to follow up with anyone who hasn’t). Don’t forget to add any other items guests need to bring, such as towels to a pool party or food to a potluck, to ensure your party goes off without a hitch.

How to send digital birthday invitations

The best thing about online birthday invitations is how easy they are to send. Unlike paper invitations that can get lost in the mail, digital invitations arrive in guests’ inboxes as soon as you hit “send.” And you don’t even need to worry about extra postage! If your guests prefer texting to email, you can send birthday invitations to their phones via text or shareable link.

Birthday party decorations to match your theme

A birthday party theme ties the event together. Match your birthday party decorations to your invitation theme with décor from Paperless Post Party Shop, where beautiful party supplies from our design partners await.

Beach party decorations help guests feel like they’re at the shore as soon as they step through your front door—no matter what time of year you’re hosting a birthday party. Disco party decorations will have them doing the hustle long before the cake comes out! If your invitation uses a kids’ party theme, choose matching décor like sports party supplies or mermaid decorations for a party they’ll never forget.

Paperless Post Party Shop has supplies for parties without a specific theme, too. You can find birthday garland and banners to hang in your party space, tableware in the guest of honor’s favorite colors, and party favors that keep the celebration going even after the last song on the playlist ends.
