Birthday Party Invitation Wording Ideas

Let’s face it; above the age of maybe 21, no one looks forward to their birthday. And past the age of 30, we quietly let each birthday pass with no pomp and circumstance. Perhaps if we don’t acknowledge it, it doesn’t happen. We cringe when the checkout person glances at our license and has to remind us, and the person in line next to us, that’s it’s our birthday. Of course, some embrace their birthdays with a child's heart, celebrating each notch in the wall with flair. For the rest of us, however, each birthday reminds us that we are further from our youth and one step closer to the senior special at the family buffet. Yet, it’s in our sadistic nature to want to remind others of their impending birthdays. Misery loves company. That’s why there is a certain amount of spirited fun in throwing a birthday bash for an adult. If you're in charge of organizing such a birthday bash, try out some of the following invitation wording ideas.

40th birthday male

You thought this day would never come It could never happen to you Others would wrinkle and others would age “Poor things, what can they do?” But as the days pass you do start to notice Some things that weren’t there before Guess it’s bad lighting, or distorted mirror Or maybe it’s just what you wore Your temples are graying, but it must be the sun Your shirts are a little tight, too The dryer is shrinking all of your clothes Better buy some new The bulbs in your lamp are so bright that you squint Maybe a dimmer would do That cute waitress said you look like her dad “Wow, her dad must be really young, too” Time to face facts, your youth is gone There’s nothing you can do So dye your hair, buy a corvette, deny your age And move on! Let’s all celebrate John’s birthday With a huge “in denial I’m 40” party Date and time Neighborhood Senior Center Address City, State Gag gifts preferred
