Do include all necessary information. Make sure to include the purpose of the event, the honoree, the date and time, name and location, who is hosting, appropriate attire, RSVP (if applicable).
Don't include the zip/postal code. This information is not needed for GPS or Google Maps, so why waste space.
Do remember to proof read, and proof read again! Nothing looks worse than sending your guests to the wrong address or on the wrong date!
Don't use abbreviations. Make sure you spell out Road, Street, Ontario, etc.
Do use third person when writing your invitations. For example, John invites you to their 50th birthday". Should the party be an informal gathering, this rule is not extremely important. Don't mention gift registries or mention any thing that shows as asking for gifts. The only correct thing to mention is "No Gifts Needed" should that be the case.
Do make sure the 50th birthday invites are mailed out timely. A good guideline to follow is 2-4 weeks for an informal event; 7-10 weeks for a formal event.
Don't provide RSVP without a self addressed, postage paid envelope. If you do not have it within your budget to have RSVP cards returned by mail, a more cost efficient option is email or phone.
Those are some very simple invitation do's and dont's.
Some other basic tips to remember are:
• Be prepared and on time with your invitations • Make simple and uncluttered invites • Use your theme and make the invites pop • Stick to your color theme, and make sure the invitations are bright and vibrant.
Have fun, and make your 50th birthday invitation stand out! You will have a great turn out, and a party to remember.
