Questions people ask
How do I word a 21st birthday invitation?
Lead with the age, then the plan (dinner, bar, party), date, start time, meeting point and RSVP. Mention if guests pay for their own drinks.
Should I mention transport on the invitation?
For a drinking-focused party, a short line about rides or taxis is thoughtful and common.
