What to consider when choosing online birthday invitations for your next birthday party

There are a number of things to take into consideration when choosing birthday invitations for your next party. These include:

Budget

This is the first thing you need to consider, because it influences a lot of your other decisions. Consider how much you can realistically afford to spend on your birthday invitations. If you’re going for printed invites on a tight budget you can keep costs low by choosing simple print types like digital and keeping to the standard paper and envelope options. With a reputable company, these will still be very high quality. Of course, going with online birthday invitations will usually be your cheapest option anyway. 

Theme

Consider your birthday party theme when it comes to choosing your invitations. Ideally, the invites should give your guests a little taste of what is to come, so bring in elements from your decoration or entertainment for a sneak preview to get them excited for the day.

Dress code

This might seem like a strange thing to think about when choosing birthday invitations, but it’s really just a shortcut to understanding the formality of your event. For an event with a formal or black tie dress code, you should choose more formal designs and more luxurious print types. If you’re opting for physical, printed invites, look at incorporating raised foil or letterpress along with a simple, classy design. If you’re having a more casual party, you can still opt for high-end print methods but consider incorporating a lot of colour, cute designs and a lot of personality.

Colour scheme

It’s always best to make sure your birthday party invitations fit with the colour scheme you are going to be using when decorating and for other elements of your day. You can be subtle in how you incorporate the colours, but you should at least make sure the colours you use don’t clash with the broader scheme.

Having these four things in mind will make everything way easier when it comes time to choose your birthday invites, and help keep you from making a spontaneous purchase of a design that is super pretty but doesn’t match your party at all.
