Three Ideas for 21st Birthday Invitations

21st Birthday Invitation with Photo

The 21st birthday is a big celebration around the UK and the world. The 21st year has a route in history as being the year you get the “key to the door” and when people official became adults and gained a number of rights. While this is not the case now, it is still a big event and milestone and making your own 21st birthday invitations is definitely something worth considering.


There are a number of ideas to make your invites to your 21st birthday special and personalised, which is the reason to opt for making your own. Here are just some ideas that you can choose:

Add a Picture of Yourself

When it comes to making the invitations more personalised, adding a photo of yourself is a great option. Pick the best photo you have and place that on the front of the invite, or somewhere near the top depending on the style you choose. This makes it much easier for your guests to realise who the party is for.

Use Pictures to Say Everything

Instead of writing the place where the event will take place and the date and time, it may be worth using pictures to tell the story. You could take snapshots of yourself holding signs with all the information or have it written in sand. Doing this will make your 21 st  birthday invitations unique and memorable.

Send Email Birthday Invitations

Who said that invites has to be sent physically? With the growth of social media and email, it makes sense to use technology to do everything for you. The benefit of email invites is that they can sing and dance to tell your guests about your party. Emailing also makes it easier for guests to put the dates in their calendar and respond quickly to the invite. 

The above are just three ideas that you could use for your 21 st  birthday invitations but there are many more. The trick is to think about your guests and your personality. It is worth making your invites stand out but you also need to add your own personality in there.
