Sweet Sixteen Invitations

While every birthday is certainly a special day, the “Sweet Sixteen” is probably the big one that your child has been looking forward to for years. If you are looking for the perfect way to announce this momentous birthday, custom Sweet 16 invitations from Shutterfly will kick-off the birthday celebrations and help you plan a party for this milestone year. Your teen will love their personalized Sweet 16 invitations as much as their new driver’s license.

Designing the Invitation

Thanks to Shutterfly, it is easier than ever to create one-of-a-kind stationery sets. Lucky for you, creating invitations for your (rapidly growing) little one’s 16th birthday is not only a snap to do, but it can also be a fun activity for the both of you to do together. Upload all of his or her favorite images to Shutterfly and let them pick one of their favorite design templates. Together you can pick your favorite design elements, fonts and colors to create Sweet 16 invitations that are as unique as your soon-to-be sixteen-year-old.

Be sure all the important details are there such as day, time and location of the party. Also, make sure that you include an RSVP-by date and your contact information to help you plan the party. Aim to mail the invitations out at least three weeks before the party to allow the other parents, friends and family time to make arrangements to attend.
