Write a birthday invitation for [HONOREE], who is turning [AGE OR MILESTONE]. The party details are [DATE TIME LOCATION], the guest group is [GUESTS], and the party plan or theme is [PARTY DETAILS]. Use this desired tone: [TONE]. Include these RSVP and practical details: [RSVP DETAILS]. Create an invitation people can act on without needing a follow-up message. State the occasion, date, start and end time if known, full location or joining instructions, host name if relevant, RSVP deadline and method, and any information guests need to plan: dress code, cost, food, children, gifts, accessibility, parking, weather backup, or what to bring. Mention only details I provide; do not invent an address, gift preference, schedule, or dietary accommodation. Match the tone to the relationship and event. A child’s party can be playful; an adult dinner should not sound like a children’s theme invitation unless I request it. Keep humor optional and avoid wording that could make guests feel pressured about gifts or attendance. If the event has limited capacity, communicate that warmly and plainly. Output: 1) a main invitation of 80-130 words, 2) a short text-message version of 35-55 words, and 3) a subject line or headline. Include a final logistics checklist of any key detail I did not provide. Before answering, check that the date, time, location, RSVP method, and host details are present or listed as missing. Then check that the invitation does not imply services, food, costs, or accessibility arrangements I did not specify. Ask up to three clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.

Tips
- Put the RSVP deadline near the action method, not buried after a long description.
- For a restaurant or paid activity, state clearly what the host is covering and what guests may pay for.
- Mention gift preferences once and plainly; “your presence is enough” works best when paired with a direct no-gifts note if that is the plan.
- For children’s events, write primarily for the adults who need to handle transport, allergies, and pickup.
FAQ
What details should a birthday invitation include?
At minimum: who is being celebrated, when, where, how to RSVP, and any information guests need to attend comfortably.
Should I mention gifts?
Only if it helps guests. A simple “No gifts, please” or a specific preference avoids ambiguity.
How early should I send it?
For a small local gathering, two to four weeks is common; allow more time for travel, busy seasons, or limited-capacity events.
