What every birthday invitation needs

  • Whose birthday it is, and who is hosting if that's someone else.
  • The date, a start time and, for kids' parties, a finish time.
  • The full address, plus parking or how to find the entrance.
  • What to bring or wear, if anything.
  • One way to reply, and a date to reply by.
