Tips and Hints for 1st Birthday Invitation Wording
Baby's first birthday is such a huge milestone that every parent wants to celebrate with family and friends. Sending a special birthday invitation is the icing on the cake and helps to set the tone for the entire celebration.
Of course, that first birthday party is as much a party for the parents as the new toddler! But whether you're planning a quiet get together or a themed extravaganza, putting together the invitations is your first task. With our customisable invites, all you need to do is choose a theme you love and then personalise the wording, making it super easy to create invites to treasure!

Who is your invite aimed at - the children who have been invited or the adults accompanying them? If you're appealing to the kids then use simple language and a cutesy tone. If it's for the parents then a more formal invitation will suffice.
Try "Your friend is turning one, come and join the fun!" for the kids and "You're invited to celebrate our first birthday party" for the adults. Our invitations even have suggestions for wording so you can just follow the template to make it super easy!

Turning one is a huge event in your child's life and your parenting career. Celebrate the milestone with wording like "Baby days are done, now our toddler is turning one!" or "Now I'm turning one, there's so much more to explore so come and celebrate with me on my birthday!" Then upload a photo that shows just how far your baby has progressed in their first year.

If you're stuck for the right wording to use, there's plenty of inspiration to be found. Remember to keep it short and sweet as you'll need to include the date, time and venue on the front of your card plus RSVP contact details. Save any longer message for the back of the card.
