50th Birthday Invites

50th birthday invites are your guest's first glimpse of the fun to come.  Of all the early decisions made for a 50th birthday party, nothing reveals more about the celebration than the invitation.  While traditionalists may pore over carefully crafted pre-made invitations, others prefer more creative control by designing their own.  Whatever method you prefer, state the party details with simplicity and style so that guests know exactly what to expect.  In a world filled with e-mails and texting, a special invite in the mailbox requesting the honor of your presence is a welcome sight.  

50th Birthday Invitation Ideas

50th birthday invites are the perfect introduction to the spirit and theme of a milestone birthday celebration. 

The look and design of 50th birthday invites depends mostly on the theme of your party.  For example, you would not send a formal invitation to a backyard barbeque.  Most importantly the invitation should showcase the big 5-0, revolve around the chosen theme, and make a compelling invite with clearly stated party details.  

Occasion.
Make it clear that it is an age specific birthday party for your Honoree.  It tends to heighten expectations when your guests know it is a milestone birthday.

When and where.
Be sure to include the date and time.  The location also needs to be included with the full street address and directions.

RSVP.
It is also a good idea to ask for a reply by a certain date.  This makes party planning easier.  You do not want to plan for sixty if only twenty are able to attend.

Party details.
Inform guests of any party details needed to ensure a successful party.  It is important to let guests know if this is a surprise party, the attire, gift info (any special instructions) i.e. no gifts or gag gifts welcomed.
