Question 1

How to create kids' birthday invitations online

Accepted Answer

It’s easier than ever to design, send, and manage your invitations when you use kids’ birthday invitation templates from Paperless Post. Choose a template from one of our talented design partners like Hello!Lucky and Meri Meri. Then, edit your invitation’s look and feel to match your kid’s personality. Choose sparkling Backdrops, sprinkle your invitation with festive stickers, and upload a photo to create a customizable stamp. Find a Page Style that matches your party’s vibe, making your invitation feel as unique as the guest of honor.

Before you send your invitation, add event details to keep guests in the know about your party. Include open-ended questions for guests to answer as they RSVP, such as “Do your children have any food allergies?” You can also select the option to collect headcounts for adults and children to plan the right number of gift bags and refreshments. And, when the RSVPs start rolling in, it’s easy to track who hasn’t replied yet so that you can follow up with plenty of time before the big day.

Question 2

When to send kids' birthday party invitations

Accepted Answer

The timing for sending birthday party invitations depends on the age of your child and what your venue needs. Most kids’ birthday party invitations, including first birthday parties and kids’ parties hosted at home, should go out around four weeks before the event itself. If you’re hosting at another venue, send your invitations six weeks before the party for the most accurate headcount as early as possible.

For milestone birthdays with extra-special celebrations, such as a quinceañera or bar mitzvah, invitations should go out 8–10 weeks before the party—similar to a wedding invitation. These events usually require more planning than other birthday parties, which means there’s usually more time between the invitation and the party itself.
