Whether you are planning a birthday party for your child or for an adult, be sure you know what to put on your invitations. When is the best time to send them to your guests? The most important thing is your birthday invitations must contain the most important information such as date, time, place, dress code, things that they should bring, as well as the method for RSVPs. Generally, the best time to send them out is more or less eight weeks in advance, or lesser.

History of the First Birthday Party Invitation

Birthday invitations started way back a long time ago! During the early days, the ancient Egyptians celebrated the birth of their gods. Likewise, the ancient Romans also created celebrations to honor the birthdays of a family member who belongs to the upper class. Normally, people should know when, where and who is having a birthday celebration. Hence, a birthday invitation must be sent out to the guests. Before the evolution of birthday invitations, the word of mouth was the prevalent way of invitation.

The original birthday invitation ever sent is shown below! Claudia Severa, wife of Roman Commander Aelius Brocchus, sent this out sometime in 100 AD. These carbon-based, ink slabs are also known as “Vindolanda Tablets.” They are composed of wooden leaf fragments. This is the ancient way of sending a message.

Original Birthday Invitation

According to the British Museum, the invitation translates as:

“Claudia Severa to her Lepidina, greetings. On the third day before the Ides of September, sister, for the day of the celebration of my birthday, I give you a warm invitation to make sure that you come to us, to make the day more enjoyable for me by your arrival. Give my greetings to your Cerealis. My Aelius and my little son send their greetings, I shall expect you, sister. Farewell, sister, my dearest soul, as I hope to prosper, and hail.”

Ancient Romans were well-known for their extravagant feasts, so we can expect that their birthday parties are an enormous banquet. This sounds like a huge celebration, just like your child’s birthday party.

When to Send Out Birthday Invitations

Basically, when planning for your child’s birthday party, you will likely invite your friends and their babies. However, nowadays, kids are choosing which ones they want to invite. What are the activities and games that will be included in the party? Where they want to have the birthday party? Sending out your birthday invitations earlier will help you get a precise headcount based on RSVP.

Don’t send out your birthday invitations too late. There are chances that your guests might already be busy during this time. It is not also advisable to send them out too early since your guests will likely forget your child’s birthday party. The rule of thumb is to send out invitations after having all the party details. Birthday invitations should not be sent sooner than eight weeks before the birthday party. Your goal should be to send them out three to five weeks before the birthday bash.

Practicing proper invitation etiquette is a must. Most kids will easily get hurt once they are rejected by their classmates. If your child wants to invite only his/her closest friends then you can call their parents or mail your birthday invitations. If you distribute the birthday invitations at school then uninvited children will learn about the party. However, if your kid would like to invite the whole class then you can send out the birthday invitations at school.

Getting RSVPs from parents is also another important factor that should be considered. Be sure to mention a specific time to RSVP on your birthday invitation. Also, include two ways of contact, either by phone or via e-mail address. In case the RSVP deadline has reached then it’s time to start calling the parents. Be patient, even if you are agitated that you did not receive a response from them. You could simply tell them, “Hi, I was just wondering if your child will be coming to my kid’s birthday party?” This can help you determine the number of guests that will be coming to your child’s birthday bash.
