Tips for a great happy birthday

  1. 1

    Pick a theme and commit

    Superheroes, princesses, football, neon, garden party — a clear theme makes the invitation fun and helps guests plan costumes and gifts.

  2. 2

    Big age number

    For kids and milestone birthdays, the age is the hero. Make the number large and colourful.

  3. 3

    Add a photo

    A photo of the birthday person makes the invitation personal and makes guests smile. Drop it into any photo frame on the template.

  4. 4

    Mention the end time

    Parents of young guests appreciate knowing when to pick up. Write “3–6 pm” rather than just “3 pm”.

  5. 5

    Reuse it as a thank-you

    After the party, duplicate the design, swap in a party photo and send it as a thank-you message.

What to put on your happy birthday

Before you download
