  1. If you’re an adult and planning yourself a birthday shindig, just jot down a few words, letting your friends know the key details, and hit send! [1] It’s totally fine to send out these invites in a mass text to your entire guest list or to copy and paste each invite separately. What matters most is that people know that you’re celebrating and you want them by your side! Here are some examples of how you can word your text invitations.
    • “It's party time! I’m thrilled to invite you to my birthday bash. Date: [Date]. Venue: [Address]. Can’t wait for you to come celebrate!”

What to Include in Your Text Invite

PDF download Download Article
  1. This is the first key detail to offer in your text invite. Make sure the guests know who it is and the age they’re celebrating, especially if it’s a milestone birthday. [4]
  2. In your text, include the venue address, and whether it’s a home, business, etc. Add the date, day of the week, and time so your guests can avoid all confusion. Adding details as far as directions and parking go is a good idea if it’s in a tricky location!
  3. Ask your guests to reply to the text in order to RSVP. Give them a reasonable time frame to respond and let them know that you hope they make it!
  4. Let your guests know exactly what kind of shindig they’re in for. Whether it’s a pool party, an astrology-themed party, or a surprise party , make sure the party people know what to expect, how to dress, and if they need to keep it a secret.
  5. If you plan to have a full buffet, include it in your text invite. If it’s hors d’ouvres and champagne, tell them that too! You don’t want them to come or leave hungry, so set expectations about food and drink options early on.
  6. This is not a must, but you should mention gifts if the person being celebrated absolutely doesn’t want any or if they have very specific gift requests. Some people may request gift cards or donations to charity instead of actual gifts. If you have any of these preferences, go ahead and include it in your invite!

Frequently Asked Questions

PDF download Download Article
  1. As a general rule of thumb, 4-6 weeks ahead of the party is a good time to start sending out text invites. If it's a special milestone birthday, like 21 or 50, you might want to start reaching out to the important people who really need to be there at about 8 weeks out. [5]
  2. No, send individual texts to each person you want to invite. While it takes a little more time on your part, your guests will appreciate the effort. People generally dislike big group texts in which they get a bunch of replies from people they don't know.
  3. In your text invite, make sure you mention a specific date that guests need to RSVP by. Let them know how they can RSVP, whether that be by replying to the text thread, email, or otherwise. Additionally, ask them to let you know how many people from their party will be attending. End the message with a polite but clear sign-off, like “Please RSVP by [date].”
  4. When you send out the invite, make sure to specify that the party is a surprise, and ask guests to keep the party hush-hush and on a need-to-know basis among friends. Emphasize the importance of guests showing up on time so nobody arrives late and spoils the surprise.
