1. 80s Or 90s Flashback Party

Go back in time and give your party a theme from a different decade. You can go all out for this theme and encourage guests to wear 80s or 90s outfits to make this party successful. In addition to themed attire, flashback parties are all about the music. You should focus on creating an environment that reflects your favorite moments from the select decade, which includes creating a stellar playlist full of memorable songs affiliated with that decade. Give this theme a try at your own home or consider renting out a space at a club or lounge.

2. Casino Party

Recreate Las Vegas on your own terms with a casino birthday party. This is an entertaining theme, characterized by cocktails, casino games, and a casino-inspired color palette. You can apply a red, black, and white color palette to your party by serving treats such as decorative spade or heart cookies and casino chip cookies.

Do You Bring a Gift to a Quinceañera?

It’s not a requirement that guests bring a gift to a quinceañera. However, good guest etiquette says you still should. Even a small gift shows your support for the young lady and her family. So whatever you gift, even if it’s a handwritten card, is sure to be appreciated.

What is an Appropriate Gift for a Quinceañera?

The most important thing to remember about gift giving for a quinceañera is that the event is for family. Therefore, even if you give a nontraditional gift, it still needs to be appropriate. For example, monetary gifts, gift cards, jewelry, or a personalized photo album would all be appropriate, even if they’re not traditional. If you’d rather stick to tradition, common gifts for a quinceañera include crosses and medals, Bibles, scepters, tiaras, and Rosaries.

How Much Money to Give for a Quinceañera?

There’s no specific required gift amount for a quinceañera. The monetary gift amount will likely depend on your relationship to the hosting family, the size of the party, and your ability to give. Typically, an average gift amount will be no less than $50. That amount will increase if you have a closer relationship with the family, or if you’re helping to pay for part of the party.

Unique Quinceañera Gifts

Traditional Quinceañera Gifts

Traditional quinceañera gifts hold deep cultural significance and are often chosen to symbolize the young woman’s transition into adulthood. These gifts are not only meaningful but also serve as treasured keepsakes that she will carry with her throughout her life.

Quinceañera Rosary or Bible

One of the most symbolic traditional gifts is the Quinceañera Rosary or Bible.

The rosary and Bible are typically beautifully adorned, making them both a spiritual and aesthetic gift that she will cherish.

Tiara or Crown

Another traditional gift is the Tiara or Crown, which symbolizes the young woman’s emergence as a princess in the eyes of her family and community. The tiara is often worn during the quinceañera celebration, highlighting her special status and the importance of this rite of passage.

Jewelry

Jewelry is also a popular traditional gift, with items like a cross necklace, earrings, or a bracelet being presented to the quinceañera. These pieces often hold sentimental value and are chosen to reflect her personal style while honoring the significance of the day. Traditional jewelry gifts are typically made of precious metals like gold or silver, ensuring they will be treasured for years to come.

These traditional quinceañera gifts are deeply rooted in cultural heritage, making them a meaningful way to celebrate this significant milestone in her life.

Birthday Thank You Card Wording

A handwritten thank you card or note of thanks is one of the most impactful and meaningful ways to show gratitude. If you are planning on expressing your appreciation through a card, there are certain things that you should be sure to include when thanking someone for either a gift or for their good wishes. You can simplify your thank you card writing process by sticking to a few core rules and tips that add clarity. Since you’ll want to craft the perfect note of gratitude, always assess your relationship with the recipient to guide your wording. Follow the steps below if you’re having trouble deciding what to write in a thank you note:

1. Say thank you from the beginning.
2. If you are given a birthday gift or birthday card, you should mention that.
3. If you are not given a gift and they just wished you happy birthday, say thank you for the wishes.
4. Tell them how it impacts you. For example “this wish made my day” or “it made me feel so loved”.
5. If you are writing the thank you card, sign your name.

How Long Should Your Thank You Message Be?

Most of the time when receiving birthday wishes, a note in a thank you card can be short and to the point. However, if you have more to say, there is nothing wrong with a long thank you letter. Keep the thank you note simple if the message is going to be a status on Facebook or a text to someone. If you are thanking someone for a thoughtful gift, the message may be a little longer. All in all, each thank you note should be different and meaningful to the recipient. If you are an organized person, you might want to keep a set of personalized stationery on hand so you won’t have to run out to the store and purchase one every time you need to thank someone.

When Should You Send Thank You Cards & Notes?

There is no exact time that you should send thank you cards. However, it is common etiquette to send them as soon as possible. Try not to wait too long from when you received the wish. While receiving a thank you late is better than not ever receiving one, you should still aim to send them in a reasonable amount of time. With technology, it is easy to quickly thank a large amount of people. If you are given a gift, try to send out thank you cards within a week of receiving the gift.

While there are some instances where you would be on the fence about sending a thank you card, it is normally expected to send a thank you for birthday wishes. If you see someone in person and they wish you happy birthday, it would make sense to thank them in person and not have to contact them again about it later.

Thank You Text vs. Thank You Card

Normally for gifts, it is expected that you send a thank you card. However, for wishes, it is okay to send a text. If you want to send a card to people that wish you happy birthday, that is also totally acceptable! A physical thank you note is special and it will be appreciated no matter what.

Thank You Messages for Birthday Wishes on Facebook

There’s really no substitute to receiving a personalized thank you card. But some might feel that your Facebook birthday wishes are the next best thing to cards and, of course, in-person wishes and hugs. Facebook offers a way to get these birthday wishes from people near and far, even people you haven’t spoken to in years. Thanking your Facebook friends for their kind words can be as detailed or deep as you’d like it to be. If you are looking for ways to say ‘Thank You for the Birthday Wishes’ on Facebook, here are some ideas that can help you get started. These simple options will do the trick and will be just as appreciated as other options.

Thank You Messages for Birthday Wishes Over Text

Another alternative to sending thank you cards, you can treat birthday texts the same way you treat social media posts. Reply to the long, thought-out birthday wishes with a heartfelt thank you note and even a photo of your smiling face in a party hat, a birthday cake, or another birthday symbol. This shows that you put a little effort into making your thanks special, but is still fairly simple to do.

How to Use Instagram Birthday Post Captions

Wanting to post on social media for your birthday, but not sure what to share? Creating the perfect caption is much like sending a great message in a birthday card. You’ll want to show your loved ones you care with a birthday post that summarizes how much you appreciate them and want to celebrate them on their big day. Follow the simple tips below. Bonus: these tips apply to printing photos online and customizing photo gifts or birthday gifts.

1. Pick an Instagram photo from your birthday party or dinner, or a photo that represents who you are right now. Posting a photo from your celebration is a favorite for many, but for those who want to post before their party or who didn’t take any photos during their birthday, it’s great to have a backup plan. Using one of your favorite selfies, such as one important enough to use as a canvas print or piece of modern wall art, can also make a perfect birthday photo.
2. Pick a caption that represents you, but is also safe to share with family. Keeping your captions appropriate will help ensure the post ages well. Put the same philosophy into practice for the captions you add to custom mugs, personalized blankets, and any custom gifts you want to give yourself on your birthday.
3. Make use of the Instagram story function. Post your favorite caption to your story to let all your followers know exactly what day it is.
4. For friends’ and family’s birthdays, don’t post anything too embarrassing. As fun as it may be for you, you won’t want to upset them on their birthday! Instead, pick photos that stand the test of time and they’d be proud to have displayed both online and in their home. Family birthday calendars are the perfect gift for such an occasion.

Essential Information

Every invitation begins with the essential information that sets the stage for the event. This includes the who, what, where, when, and why. Make sure your invitations clearly state:

• 

  Holiday Party Invites

  The Hosts: The names of the hosts should be prominently featured. Whether it’s a single person, a couple, or a group, this helps guests understand who is extending the invitation.

• The Occasion: Specify the purpose of the event, whether it’s a birthday party, a wedding, a baby shower, a Christmas party, or any other celebration.
• Date and Time: Clearly state the date and time of the event. Use standard time formats to avoid any confusion.
• Location: Provide the complete address, including the venue name and street address. For virtual events, include the online meeting details or platform link.
• RSVP Information: Indicate how and by when guests should RSVP. This is crucial for planning purposes.

Style: Formal & Casual Invitations

Invitations come in as many styles as the events they announce, reflecting the formality and tone of those gatherings. Understanding the distinction between formal and casual invitation wording and style is vital:

Formal Invitations

Formal invitations are typically reserved for black-tie events, weddings, galas, and other prestigious occasions. Like these events, the invitations themselves exude elegance and sophistication. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• 

  Birthday Invitations

  Language: Use formal language and proper titles. For example, “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the honor of your presence.”

• Design: Opt for high-end paper like Shutterfly’s Luxe, Double-Thick Cardstock (easy to select when you choose your card design), classic fonts, and subdued colors. Foil accenting can add an extra touch of sophistication.
• Response Cards: Include response cards with pre-addressed envelopes for guests to RSVP.

Casual Invitations

Casual invitations are best for informal or relaxed gatherings, such as many birthday parties, picnics, and get-togethers with friends. They allow for a more informal tone:

• 

  Wedding Invitations

  Language: Use a friendly and conversational tone. For instance, “Join us Saturday for a BBQ to celebrate Tom’s birthday!”

• Design: Feel free to get creative with design choices, colors, and fonts. Casual invitations can reflect the theme or personality of the event.
• RSVP: Specify how guests should RSVP, whether it’s by phone, email, or an online RSVP form.

Ordering Extra Invitations

When ordering invitations, it’s wise to order some extra copies. This ensures you have spares in case of errors or additional guests. A good rule of thumb is to order at least 10% more invitations than your guest list. It’s always better to have extras than to scramble for replacements at the last minute.

When To Mail

Grad Party Invites

Timing is crucial when it comes to mailing invitations, and the timing varies to some degree depending upon the type of event. Wedding Invitations, for instance, are best mailed 6-8 weeks before the wedding date. For destination weddings, send them 2-3 months in advance. For many other events, it’s best to send your invites 4-6 weeks before the event to give guests ample time to plan.

Thank You Notes

The etiquette of receiving gifts and expressing gratitude is just as important as sending invitations. After your event, promptly send thank you notes to show your appreciation for the attendees’ presence and any gifts they may have brought. Personalize each note with a heartfelt message.

Receiving Invitations & RSVPs

If you happen to be on the receiving end of invitations, here are some important points to remember:

• 

  Baby Shower Invites

  RSVP Promptly: Respond to invitations by the requested date, even if it’s to decline. This helps the host with planning.

• Plus Ones: If the invitation does not explicitly state that you can bring a guest, assume it’s for you alone. If you’re unsure, ask the host for clarification.
• Attire: Pay attention to the dress code mentioned in the invitation. Dress appropriately for the occasion.
• Gifts: If you’re attending a celebration, it’s customary to bring a gift. Check the registry or ask the host for gift suggestions.

A Paean To Invitations

More than just pieces of paper, invitations represent special moments in one’s life. By following these etiquette guidelines, you can ensure that your invitations are received and appreciated with the same warmth and enthusiasm with which they are sent, making every occasion a memorable one for both hosts and guests alike. Check out these helpful guides on etiquette for particular varieties of events:

1. Select Your Favorite Card Design

The first order of business in creating the best 50th birthday party invitations is choosing a card design that reflects your personality and the theme of your celebration. Whether you prefer something classic and elegant or fun and vibrant, your choice of card design is important—it sets the visual tone for your event. Explore Shutterfly’s design templates and card styles to find one that resonates with you. Look for designs that represent your interests and passions and remember that all of our cards can be customized with the number “50”—so if you see a design you love, remember you can change that “40” or “30” to a “50” as you personalize your card.

2. Upload A Photo

A 50th birthday is always significant and it’s a time to celebrate your life journey. At Shutterfly, we have great no-photo invitations and, as well, fun, festive photo-ready designs, and adding a photo is a great way to personalize your card. Whether it’s a snapshot from your childhood, a memorable moment from your youth, or a recent picture that captures your current self or interests, a photo adds a personal touch to your invitation. Once you’ve chosen your card design, click “Personalize” to upload a picture (or two). It’s a wonderful way to share your journey with your guests and create a sense of nostalgia and connection.

3. Personalize Your Card

To make your 50th birthday party invitations truly unique, take advantage of the personalization options available at Shutterfly. Adjust the color palette, fonts, trim, and other design elements to match your party’s theme or your personal style. You can also add a custom message or greeting, funny or heartfelt, that conveys your excitement and gratitude for your guests’ presence or, otherwise, an amount of reflection on your milestone birthday. Additionally, consider customizing the inside or back of your card with another photo or design detail that ties into your celebration. This extra touch of personalization will make your invite stand out and create a cohesive look for your event.

4. Include Party Details

Of course, your 50th birthday party invitations need to convey all the essential details about the event. Make sure you include the following information:

• Date and Time: Specify the date and start time of your celebration. If your event spans multiple days, make sure to include all relevant dates.
• Venue: Include the full address of your party. If it’s a remote or unique location, consider providing additional instructions or a map.
• RSVP Information: Include a method for guests to RSVP, whether it’s through email, phone, or a designated website.
• Dress Code: If your celebration has a specific dress code (such as “Black Tie”) or if it’s a themed party with costumes encouraged, make it clear on the invitation.
• Special Requests: If there are any special requests or instructions for your guests, such as dietary preferences or gift preferences, include them on the invite.

5. Send To Guests

Once you’ve crafted the perfect 50th birthday party invitations, it’s time to send them out to your guest list. For ease and timeliness, we highly recommend using our free addressing service paired with our Mail For Me service—yep, Shutterfly will address, stamp, and send your invitations for you, saving you not only time, but energy.

1. Choose A Design Template

The first step in crafting a memorable 60th birthday party invitation is selecting the right design template. At Shutterfly, we offer an array of design options tailored to different themes and styles. Whether you’re aiming for elegance, humor, or a specific color palette, you’re sure to find a template that resonates with the birthday honoree’s personality and the overall vibe of the party. You may want a photo invite or one without a photo. In either case, we have just the design for you. Note that if you see a template that shows another age—including one’s 50th or 70th birthday—those ages are completely and easily customizable.

2. Upload A Photo

A picture, they say, is worth a thousand words, and including a cherished photograph of the birthday star is a heartwarming way to personalize the invitation. After clicking Personalize to begin customizing your card, choose a recent photo or one that reflects a significant era or moment in your life. The photograph not only adds a personal touch but also creates a sense of nostalgia, making guests excited to celebrate six decades of memories. One great option is to go with our Celebration Scrolls Birthday Invitation, which allows you to place a current photo alongside one from your childhood—the effect is a lovely tribute to the spirit of youth at all ages.

3. Customize Your Card

Just as each person is unique, your birthday party invitation should reflect that individuality. With the design template as a foundation, it’s time to get creative and customize the card to align with the birthday party’s theme. Adjust the colors, fonts, layout, greeting, and trim to create a visually appealing invitation that captures everyone’s attention. Whether you’re aiming for a classic look or a more modern aesthetic, customization allows you to make your invitation truly your own.

4. Add Important Party Information

While aesthetics are important, don’t forget the primary purpose of the invitation: to provide essential party details. Make sure to include the date, time, and location of the celebration. If the party has a specific dress code or theme, communicate that clearly to guests. Additionally, provide RSVP information so you can accurately plan for the number of attendees. If it’s a surprise party, be sure to let everyone know to keep the secret. And be sure to read our helpful blog post on birthday invitation wording for tips, examples, and ideas.

5. Send Your Invite To Guests

Once you’re satisfied with the design and all the information is in place, it’s time to order your cards and send out them to your guest list. The easiest way to do this is to use our free addressing service combined with our Mail It For Me service, which will address, stamp, and send your invitations straight off the printer. This is the perfect choice for anyone looking to save time and energy, but also for those looking for fast shipping or even last minute invitations.

Creating a 60th birthday party invitation is an opportunity to celebrate not only the honoree but also the shared memories and experiences that have shaped their life. By carefully selecting a design template, adding a personal touch with a photo, customizing the card, providing all the necessary party information, and sending them out to guests, you’re setting the stage for a memorable celebration that honors a life well-lived.
