Tips for choosing a name
Include the person's name in the event title — it feels personal and makes guests feel specially invited.
Mention the date or time so guests immediately know when it is — avoid confusion and missed RSVPs.
Test your name with the host. Does it capture the vibe of the party? Would the birthday person love it?
Keep it short enough to read on a phone screen, but descriptive enough that guests understand the style.
If it's a surprise party, use a code name in your invitations and reveal the real details only to confirmed guests.
For kids' parties, use language that appeals to both children and parents (e.g., 'Adventure Day' rather than 'Birthday Rave').
