Ideas for More Elegant Birthday Invitations

Beautiful decorative birthday invitations engraved with memorable dates, proverbs, poems, faces, and moments are becoming even more popular. In the past, birthday cards are made of thin cardboard with prints of cartoon characters. These designs are great but there are more ways to make birthday party invites more elegant. Engraving things in cardboard or hard plastic has been used for wedding invitations, so why not create birthday invitations engraved? With a little bit of skill, you can make your invitations more sophisticated.

Great looking birthday invitations are keepers. These becomes memorabilia and even souvenirs. Artistic pieces in particular can be framed. Rather than stow these invitations away forever, they may end up in the shelves as bookmarks and even wall hangings. A well designed invitation can do much more than a plain one.

One good invitation idea is the 'message in a bottle'. These are just bottles with cork stoppers with pieces of paper inside. You will also need ribbons for prettifying the bottles with the invitation message inside. Parchment paper is good for this project. Make sure the ribbon is the color of your motif to keep with the theme.

If you don’t have much time, you can simply print several photo images of yourself the size of post cards and send these as invitations. Then when the guest opens the envelop, your photo is there smiling up at him and inviting him to go to a party.

Adult and children’s birthday invitations vary just a little. You can add kiddie stuff to your ideas just to fit the theme. If it's an adult, use more traditional designs; while kids would love cartoon characters more.

These are just a few of the ideas one can come up with for a birthday party invite. Just remember to add the date of the party and the venue. Treat your invites as pre-party favors. Don’t forget to play with different types of invitations and colors if you’re deciding on a design for your birthday invitations.
