When Should You Send out Invitations for a Birthday Party?
Celebrating someone’s special day is one of life’s true joys. Whether you’re organising your own shindig or putting something together for a good friend or loved one, sending invitations is a great way to kick things off for a birthday bash. While it’s helpful to hand your invites out whenever it’s convenient, a little extra planning may be necessary. So, when is it helpful to send your invites out in advance and why?

This can help give your extended friends advance warning and allow people to book leave from work, source affordable flights, or arrange car-sharing.

When someone special is involved

Birthdays are a fantastic excuse for friends and family to get together from across the world. And if you know a few individuals can’t make it, it’s great to have a hand-written invitation asking them to come. A little thought goes a long way and those that may be unable to attend due to personal reasons will still feel like they were part of the fun.
