What to Write on a Kids’ Birthday Invitation (With Simple Examples)
Knowing what to write on a kids’ birthday invitation can feel harder than it should. You want it to be clear, friendly, and fun, without forgetting important details.
This guide walks you through exactly what to include, plus easy wording examples you can copy and use for your child’s party.
🎉 The Essential Details Every Invitation Needs
No matter the theme or age, every kids’ birthday invitation should include these five basics:
-
Child’s name
-
Age they are turning
-
Date and time
-
Location or venue
-
RSVP details
Everything else is optional.
🧒 1. Birthday Child’s Name & Age
This is the star of the invitation and should stand out the most.
Example wording:
-
Sarah is turning 4!
-
Join us to celebrate Leo’s 6th Birthday!
Use bold or colourful text to make this the focal point.
📅 2. Date & Time of the Party
Keep this clear and easy to read.
Examples:
-
Saturday, 15 March
-
10:00am – 12:00pm
Tip: For younger kids, 1.5–2 hours is usually perfect.
📍 3. Party Location
Include the full address so guests don’t need to ask follow-up questions.
Examples:
-
123 Garden Road, Castle Hill
-
Castle Hill Community Hall
If it’s a public venue, adding the suburb helps parents plan ahead.
📞 4. RSVP Details
RSVPs help you plan food, party bags, and activities.
Examples:
-
RSVP to Mum on 0400 123 456
-
Please RSVP by 1 March
You can include a phone number, email address, or both.
