Adding Character Appearance Info
If you've booked a character, you can hint at it:
Keep It a Surprise
- "A very special guest will be joining us!"
- "You never know who might show up..."
- "We hear there's a surprise visitor coming!"
Or Build the Excitement
- "Meet a REAL princess at the party!"
- "Spider-Man will be swinging by!"
- "A special superhero appearance!"
RSVP Wording Tips
- Give a specific deadline (not "ASAP")
- Provide both phone AND email if possible
- Specify "regrets only" if that works for you
- Consider digital RSVP links for easy tracking

Frequently Asked Questions
How early should I send invitations?
Send invitations 2-4 weeks before the party. For holiday weekends or summer parties, send 4-6 weeks ahead. Digital invites can be sent 2-3 weeks before.
Should I include registry/gift info?
For kids' parties, it's generally best to omit gift registries from the invitation. If guests ask, you can share gift ideas directly. Some invites include "No gifts necessary, your presence is the present!"
Digital or printed invitations?
Both work! Digital (Evite, Paperless Post, Canva) is convenient and eco-friendly. Printed invitations feel more special and are fun for kids to receive. Many parents use digital for convenience with a printed invite for the birthday child to keep.
