80th Birthday Invitation Guide

Make an invitation checklist.  Include these party details to best prepare your guests for your 80th birthday celebration. . .

Party Date and Day of Week
Include the actual date and day of the week to clarify when the upcoming event will actually be held.

Time
To ensure good attendance, choose the time of day that is most convenient for the Honoree and the guests.  Older guests may appreciate an earlier time of day so they can get home safely. 

Place
Include directions or a map.  A complete address is helpful for party goers using GPS.

Occasion
Make sure 80th birthday party is prominently displayed on the invitation.

Party Details
Include any information that prepares the guests for the party at hand.  This is vitally important for surprise or themed birthday parties.

Attire
Whether casual clothing or formal attire, let the guests know how to dress that echoes the theme of the party.  If special attire adds to your party, spread the word so that everyone can join in on the fun.  Themed parties empower your guests with creativity as they dress for the occasion.


Signed, sealed, delivered.

Most experts agree that invitations should be mailed approximately two to three weeks prior to the event.

Allow ample time when ordering. Gather names and addresses ahead of time to simplify the process.

DIY 80th Birthday Invitations 

Make your own unique 80th birthday invitations.
If you enjoy being creative, then you would enjoy designing a one of a kind party invite.  An 80th birthday party is certainly an occasion deserving of the extra effort.  We love the idea of including a photograph of the Honoree.  

Here's how. . .
With your home computer, create your own invitations using a word processing program.  Mix different fonts of different sizes to add the party details.  Insert a digital picture of the Honoree.  You can take the picture yourself or use a striking photograph from a younger time in life.

Choose cardstock that matches the color scheme of the party and embellish with ribbon for a decorative touch.

Remember less is more.  While the party details are very important, do not clutter the invitation with too much information.  Keep it simple and easy to read.
