Birthday Invitation Messages from Parents

Birthday invitation messages from parents

When parents send a child's birthday invitation, the message speaks for the child and reassures the other parents: who, when, where, until what time, and what to expect. Below are messages for first birthdays, kids, teens and family, in English and Hindi. Tap Copy and replace the words in brackets.

Writing it well

• Write to the parents, name the child. "We'd love [Guest child] to come" tells the parent exactly who's invited.
• Always give an end time. Parents plan pick-ups around it.
• Say whether siblings are welcome. It saves awkward questions.
• Mention food and allergies. One line about snacks and allergies reassures other parents.
• Add your number. Parents call the host, not the link, when they're lost.

A child's birthday invitation is written for two readers: the excited child, and the parent with the calendar.

Before you send

• Start and end time
• Who's invited: the child, siblings, parents
• Allergy and food note
• A contact number for parents

Messages for grandparents and relatives

• Dadi, [Child] wants you to be the first one to see the cake! Party on [Date].Copy
• Nanaji, please come early on [Date]; [Child] wants you to cut the cake together.Copy
• Bua, the party starts at [Time], and the dancing won't start without you!Copy

Grandparents often prefer a phone call to a message. Many parents call first, then send the invite so the date, time and map are saved on the phone. For relatives travelling from another city, send the invite a little earlier, and mention whether the party is at home or a venue.
