Modern Birthday Invitations

Modern birthday invitations strip the party down to what matters: a bold number, clean type and plenty of space around it. No borders, no clip art, nothing that will date the invitation before the candles are blown out.

The range covers big-number designs for a 21st, 30th, 40th and 50th, neon and marbled looks for a night out, and photo layouts that put the birthday person front and centre. All are easy to edit online, printed on thick, premium cardstock, and checked by our in-house designers before they print.

What makes a birthday invitation feel modern

Three things, mostly. Type does the work instead of decoration, so the age or the name becomes the design. The palette is restrained, often one or two colours against black or white. And the layout leaves room to breathe rather than filling every corner. Get those right and even a simple card looks considered.

Choosing between bold and minimal

A bold modern invitation, with an oversized number or a neon pop, suits a party with a crowd and a dance floor. A minimal design with fine type and a lot of white space suits a dinner, a cocktail evening or a milestone you want to mark quietly. Photo designs sit between the two and work particularly well for a 40th or 50th, where the pictures tell the story.
