- Mailing traditional birthday party invitations is a fairly simple task.
Buy pre-made invitations at a store or use your home computer and printer to create customized invitations right on your desktop. All there is to do after they are created is to collect the addresses you want to send them to, fill out the envelopes, put stamps on them and drop them in the mailbox.
Be sure you drop them in the box in plenty of time. Standard mail takes two to nine days to arrive within the continental United States, according to the U.S. Postal Service, but you want to give the invitees more lead time than just a day or two. You want your guests to know about the party a month in advance, especially if there is a theme involved where kids may be expected to dress up or if other preparations are necessary. To be certain that everyone gets proper advanced notification, mail invitations five weeks before the date of the party. - It is a common and accepted practice to use electronic mail (email) to send birthday invitations, according to Birthday-Invite.com. Feel free to create your invitations and attach them to emails to everyone whom you want to invite to the birthday party.
Email invitations will arrive within moments in many cases, and guests can easily RSVP by replying to the email. Despite the near-instant delivery time of email, you still need to give your guests plenty of time, so send these emails one month before the date of the party. Also, don't forget to send out invitations by mail or deliver in person to anyone who doesn't have an email address. You know how Grandma is with the computer. - Include all necessary information on your invitations. If there is a theme, describe it. If children are encouraged to dress up as cowboys and cowgirls, include it in the text. Obviously you need to let everyone know whom the party is for, how old they'll be, the date of the party, starting and ending time, the location and whether you would like an RSVP and a return address if applicable.
