So however you choose to celebrate the birthday milestone, it all starts when the guests receive their invitation. Choosing an Invitation Theme. There are countless themes for birthday parties. The theme chosen depends on a variety of factors including age of the person and individual interests. For milestone birthdays there are some great invitations to mark a birthday for any age. Other elements that can be incorporated into the invitation include birthday cake or candles. Any type of celebratory theme will work well for a birthday party invitation. Gender can also play a roll in deciding on an invitation theme. Focusing on a specific interest of the guest of honor is a great way to choose an invitation theme. Choosing Coordinating Favors. No party is complete without decorations, and all the little finishing touches that bring a party together. Party accessories such as napkins, cups, and streamers can be purchased to coordinate with the party invitation theme. Party favors such as notebooks, or other mementos, can also be ordered to coordinate. Choosing Thank You Notes. Every host or guest of honor must send thank you notes to guests that attend the event or give gifts. To save time and to stick with a theme, order thank you notes when the invitations are ordered so they will coordinate with the theme. Thank you notes, just like invitations, can be purchased in a variety of themes, to match any type of birthday party. Birthday party invitations are the first step to a great party. From the moment guests open the invitation, the mood is set for whatever birthday it may be, whether sweet sixteen or over the hill. And the party continues with great party favors and does not end until guests receive their thank you notes, as a wonderful reminder of a great birthday.
