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.
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.

Make invitations more personal by adding a favorite photo of the Honoree. Zazzle offers many invite options with matching return address labels.
Invitation in a bottle.
