Turning 21 is a major milestone! It signifies the next phase of adulthood, new experiences are unlocked, and there are plenty of exciting adventures on the horizon. It’s the perfect time to gather your crew, and kick things off with a celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n Set the vibe for the party and give your guests all the details they need with a customized 21st birthday invitation. Get tips for creating and sending your invites, find wording inspiration, and see top invite designs to match a variety of styles.<\/span> The right invites can put your guests in a party mood from the moment they hear about the big event. Whether you\u2019re planning a relaxed get-together or a sophisticated soir\u00e9e, here\u2019s how to approach creating and sending those 21st birthday invitations.<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Loree Mayer Design<\/p><\/div>\n Are you throwing a <\/span>birthday theme<\/a><\/strong> party<\/span>? If so, look for an <\/span>invitation design<\/span> that matches. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re not throwing a <\/span>theme party<\/span>, pick a design that matches the birthday guy\u2019s or gal\u2019s style. From <\/span>minimalist<\/span> to abstract, there\u2019s an option for any personality or taste.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you have a <\/span>birthday theme<\/span> or not, a color scheme can be a great way to elevate your invite and make it feel special.<\/span><\/p>\n For an elegant vibe, choose <\/span>black and white<\/span> or <\/span>black and gold<\/span>. <\/span>Rose gold<\/span> with soft pink and green is ideal for a boho birthday party, while bold reds, oranges, and blues are perfect for a throwback party.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure where to start, use the guest of honor\u2019s favorite colors, or take inspiration from something they love \u2014 like a sports team.<\/span><\/p>\n Generic party invites won\u2019t cut it for this <\/span>birthday celebration<\/span>. Luckily, all of our <\/span>birthday invitation templates<\/a><\/strong> are highly <\/span>customizable<\/span>, so you can fine-tune the layout to be as unique and special as the birthday honoree.<\/span><\/p>\n With our easy-to-use <\/span>design tool<\/span> you can change the <\/span>fonts<\/span>, colors, wording, and more. And if you don\u2019t see a color combination that works for you, our design team can help you put together the perfect palette.<\/span><\/p>\n As you create your <\/span>birthday invitation card<\/span>, make sure you include all the essential details. Without these, your guests won\u2019t know who they\u2019re celebrating or where to join you.<\/span><\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/span><\/p>\n There might be a few other details to mention, which we\u2019ll talk about later, but these are must-haves if you want your event invite to be a success.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s such a wide range of options when it comes to 21st birthday parties that you want your guests to feel comfortable in their attire, so include a<\/span>\u00a0dress code<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. A glamorous Hollywood-themed event or <\/span>cocktail party<\/span> might have a formal or cocktail dress code, while a more relaxed get-together in your backyard or at the beach will call for casual attire or a bathing suit.<\/span><\/p>\n Next, add any other information that your guests might need to know. If it\u2019s a <\/span>surprise party<\/span>, make this really clear on the invitation so they don\u2019t accidentally tell the guest of honor.<\/span><\/p>\n You might also want to include a link to contribute toward a big group gift or a page with birthday gift ideas, a line about what entertainment to expect, or details about what type of meal and refreshments you\u2019ll be serving.<\/span><\/p>\n Chasing around <\/span>RSVPs<\/span> close to the event date can be frustrating, so give your guests all the information they need upfront. Include a clear date to <\/span>RSVP<\/span> by, and let them know the best way to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re sending your <\/span>online invitations<\/a><\/strong> with Greenvelope, your guests can <\/span>RSVP<\/span> in just a few clicks. You\u2019ll also be able to include survey questions, so your guests can respond with menu choices, food allergies, or song requests.<\/span><\/p>\n For other invites, you might ask guests to <\/span>RSVP<\/span> by sending you an email, calling you, or messaging you on <\/span>social media<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you\u2019re done creating your invitations, it\u2019s time to send them on their way. With Greenvelope, you can either send immediately or schedule for a date in the future \u2014 perfect for if you want to be prepared!<\/span><\/p>\n You have the option to send invites to your <\/span>guest list<\/span> via email, SMS, or both \u2014 depending on which contact details you upload. If you\u2019re sending <\/span>printable<\/span> or traditional invites instead, be sure to put them in the mail at least a few weeks before the <\/span>RSVP<\/span> date.<\/span><\/p>\n Looking for a lovely way to invite people to this <\/span>milestone birthday<\/a><\/strong> bash<\/span>?

You can transform a <\/span>confetti<\/span>-themed <\/span>kids birthday invite<\/a><\/strong> into a whimsical invite for an adult, or turn an elegant <\/span>watercolor<\/span> wedding invitation<\/a><\/strong> into a lovely garden party invite.
