So! You or a loved one is turning 50! You need to plan a party, but you don't know where to start. One thing is for certain - the party cannot get started without guests, making invitations a crucial element in the early stages of planning. Once you've settled on a theme, venue and date for your 50th Birthday bash, you'll need to find the right invitations.

Two very important things to consider are cost and time. For an event as important as your 50th Birthday, people are going to be coming from all around. You'll want to make sure that you create a reasonable budget and allow enough time for people who live farther away to make arrangements for travel and lodging. Obviously, budgets vary from one person to the next. A good rule of thumb for timeframes is to mail your invitations anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before your scheduled celebration. Here is a list of fun options for any price range or time frame.

Store Bought Invites

Let's begin with the option of easiest availability for those of you who have a limited budget or span of time. Your local discount or party supply store is a great place to find good deals on pre-made invitations that need to be filled in by hand. Your local party supply store is the place where you're most likely to find invitations made especially for a 50th Birthday Party. Invitations for this option usually come in packages of 8 and are relatively inexpensive. The best part is the convenience of having your invitations right away for quick shipment.

Online Invitations

You'll not find an easier and less expensive method of sending invitations to your important shindig than the internet. Efficiency and expediency are the name of the game when you use an online service to send your invites. You'll have to do your own research to find the service that best suits your needs. Look for one that helps you manage your guest lists and sends reminder emails to the attendees. The only thing you'll need to be wary of is whether or not your dear Aunt Gertrude even has a computer, let alone e-mail.
