About these Birthday Invitations
Children's parties are where invitations still get handed out on paper rather than organised in a WhatsApp group, mostly because a child wants to give them out themselves in the yard. That is the real use for the pack of thirty: one per classmate, handed over in a bundle on a Monday morning.
Themes run to what children actually pick rather than what looks tidy on a shelf. Sharks, cowboys, horses, carousels, dinosaurs, racing. A6 is the standard and is what most people order. A5 costs more and tends to get chosen for milestone birthdays where the invitation is doing a bit more work.
Printed on heavyweight cardstock in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, with the name, date, time, address and RSVP number all set into the design. Envelopes in white or kraft are included. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post. See also kids birthday favours, kids birthday cupcake toppers and birthday cards.
Invitation questions, answered
From proof to print, here's how an invitation order runs
What do I need to send you before you print?
Names, the date, the venue and any wording you want included, added through the personalisation box or sent to me directly for longer details.
Can I see a proof before it's printed?
Yes. Invitations always go out as a digital proof first. Nothing prints until you've approved it, so this is the point to catch any changes.
Do you print envelopes and address them?
Envelopes are included with every pack. Addressing them isn't included as standard, but ask if you need it for a large guest list.
How long does printing take once I approve the proof?
Made to order and dispatched within 2-5 working days of your proof approval, so allow extra time on top of the design and approval stage.
Can I order more later if my guest list grows?
Yes, keep the design details and message me for a top-up order. Small batches print quickly since the design is already set.
Can I get matching thank you cards or other stationery?
Yes, several invitation designs have a matching thank you card. Ask when ordering and I'll let you know what's available for that design.
