Birthday parties and birthday invitations aren’t just for children. Kids of all ages love to celebrate their birthday; it doesn’t matter if you’re putting one candle or 100 candles on your birthday cake. The perfect birthday invitation can inspire you and your guests to great new heights. Start your next great birthday party off with a great themed birthday invitation and the rest of the printable stationery themes to the party details will fall into place.
Kid’s birthday invitations
If you asked your birthday kid what the most important part of his party his, he might say the cake or the ice cream. But make no mistake; the perfect birthday invitation can get your guests and friends in the right mood to celebrate. Think about what your birthday boy or girl might like in the way of themes to get your party started. A sports themed invitation can be cute for boys and girls and can hint at party activities. Take your cues from your child’s interests and hobbies for a unique and personalized birthday invitation. A themed birthday invitation, picked out with the help of your birthday kid, may also give your guests a hint at the perfect gift, too.
Birthday boy invitations
Traditionally speaking, baby blue is perfect for your boy’s birthday invitations. While that is not the rule, don’t be afraid to use that sweet baby blue to celebrate your baby boy’s birthday. An older boy may have some definite ideas about what he wants for his birthday. Cartoon characters, super heroes and athletes can all be icons on your birthday invitations and lend themselves easily to your birthday boy themes.
Birthday girl invitations
A baby girl’s birthday party invitation is just perfect in pink. Choose delicate patterns to make the most of your baby girl’s birthday party. For older birthday girls, the sky is the limit. No two birthday girls are the same; your birthday girl might not like the pink. Don’t be shocked, she doesn’t have to pick pink for her birthday invitations. But just like the boys, they may want to include celebrities, sports figures or movie stars in their invitations and theme. As children age, they want to express their personalities in every aspect of their lives. Give your birthday girl a say in her birthday plans and she’ll be extra happy to have a party that is all her own.
Teen birthday
They’ve since outgrown kiddie birthday parties, but they’re not quite adults, yet either. Don’t think that teenager birthday parties can’t still have fun themes, i.e. Sweet Sixteen Birthday Invitations. Most teens and parents of teens will agree, that you should consult the birthday teen to make sure you’re 100% up to date with the coolest themes and birthday invitations. Many teen birthday parties have taken the theme even beyond the paper birthday invitation. Think past the everyday birthday invitation towards something more fun and unique. Make birthday invitation cupcakes that your birthday teen can hand out in person. Something cool and clever will get your teenagers party off to a great start
Pop culture icons
Drawing on popular television shows, movies, books and celebrities can be a great theme for your party and birthday invitation. Trends and styles are always changing so make sure you consult with the birthday guest of honor before you get started. You don’t want to have an invitation or theme that is out of date.
Adult birthday
As we get older, we might not be as excited about birthday parties as we once were. Still it is important to mark our birthday and a party with friends and family can be a wonderful way to celebrate. As grown-ups we’re less likely to draw on the same themes as kids, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a fun birthday party.
Seasonal themes
Time of year can dictate the theme for your adult birthday party. A ‘spring fever’ birthday theme can be just want your guests need to get them out of the winter doldrums. Take advantage of your summer birthday with a BBQ, pool party or even patriotic (4th of July) themed invitation. Your winter birthday can be a fun occasion holiday activities and a cozy birthday party. Choose a harvest theme for your fall birthday and you’re able to take advantage of the best of the season.
If you’re not interested in a seasonal theme for your birthday invitations or theme, there are still dozens of great options. Feeling decadent? Host a Mardi Gras theme birthday party. Love Asian food? Use your menu to build an elegant and stylish Asian-theme party. You are only limited by your taste and imagination when it comes to planning a stylish themed birthday party.
Over the hill
After a certain age ‘over the hill’ becomes a more apparent theme. Poking gentle fun at the aging process can easily be done with a fun ‘over the hill’ birthday invitation and theme. While this can be very funny, make sure you know the sense of humor of the guest of honor before heading down this path.
Other fun games for an ‘over the hill’ birthday party include ‘guess the photo year’ where you can asks guests on the birthday invitation to bring an old photo of the birthday honoree and take turns guessing the year. Or take a shot at ‘birthday trivia’ again, guessing the year the honoree graduated, got married, etc. Prizes can include fun gag gifts with an ‘over the hill’ theme.
Surprise birthday party invitations
One thing is true of every surprise party – it takes some work. Make sure you have a well-thought-out plan for pulling off a surprise party. You must very clearly state in your birthday invitation that this is a surprise party. And also provide a way for guests to RSVP so that you won’t be detected by the birthday honoree. Last, but not least, make sure you have a partner in crime to keep the guest of honor occupied with ‘fake’ plans while guests arrive. It’s not impossible, but it can be tricky to pull it off.
No matter what age you’re celebrating, take the time to come up with a great theme for your birthday invitations and your birthday party. Themes are just for kids; a fun birthday invitation can be a great start to a unique and entertaining grown-up party, and don't forget the birthday thank you cards too.
