Birthday Invitation Messages for WhatsApp (Hindi and English)
Copy-ready birthday invitation messages for WhatsApp in Hindi and English, for a first birthday, a kid's party, a milestone birthday or a surprise.
7 min read · Updated 12 November 2026
A good birthday invitation on WhatsApp says four things in the first two lines: whose birthday it is, when, where, and whether guests should reply. Everything else, the theme, the dress code, the cake, can come after. Below are messages you can copy as they are, in English and Hindi, for every kind of birthday a family celebrates.
What every birthday message needs
- Who and which birthday. "Aarav turns 1" says more than "a birthday party".
- Day, date and time. Write the day as well as the date, so nobody has to check a calendar.
- The place, with a map link if the venue is not a home everyone knows.
- A reply line. "Please let us know by Thursday" gets you a headcount for the cake and the food.
- One extra detail at most: a theme, a dress colour or "no gifts please".
Keep it short. A birthday message is read on a phone, often in a busy family group, and the first two lines are all that shows before someone taps "read more".
First birthday
The first birthday is usually the biggest, with grandparents, cousins and the whole colony invited. The message comes from the parents.
Our little Aarav is turning 1! 🎈 Please join us for his first birthday on Sunday 14 December, 5 pm onwards, at Hotel Shanti Palace, Indore. Your blessings will make his day. Kindly reply by Friday so we can plan for everyone. With love, Neha and Rohit
हमारे नन्हे आरव का पहला जन्मदिन है! 🎈 रविवार, 14 दिसंबर को शाम 5 बजे से होटल शांति पैलेस, इंदौर में आप सभी सादर आमंत्रित हैं। आपका आशीर्वाद ही उसका सबसे प्यारा तोहफ़ा होगा। कृपया शुक्रवार तक बता दें कि आप आ रहे हैं। स्नेह सहित, नेहा और रोहित
Kids' birthday party
For a child's party, parents read the message, so tell them what they need to plan: the time it ends, whether to stay, and anything to bring.
Kiara is turning 6 and she wants you at her jungle party! 🦁 Saturday 20 December, 4 to 7 pm, at our home: B-204, Green Park Society. Games, magic show and cake. Parents are welcome to stay for chai. Please reply by Wednesday.
कियारा 6 साल की हो रही है और उसकी जंगल पार्टी में आपका इंतज़ार है! 🦁 शनिवार, 20 दिसंबर, शाम 4 से 7 बजे, हमारे घर: बी-204, ग्रीन पार्क सोसाइटी। खेल, जादू का शो और केक। माता-पिता भी चाय पर रुकें। कृपया बुधवार तक जवाब दें।
50th, 60th and 75th birthdays
A milestone birthday of a parent or grandparent is often planned by the children, and the message reads best when it comes from them. Many families call it a celebration of life rather than a party.
Our father, Shri Ramesh Agarwal, completes 60 years on Sunday 11 January. We are celebrating with a small puja and lunch at Agarwal Bhawan, Jaipur, from 11 am. It would mean a lot to him to have you there. Please let us know by Wednesday. Pooja, Ankit and family
हमारे पूज्य पिताजी श्री रमेश अग्रवाल जी रविवार, 11 जनवरी को अपने जीवन के 60 वर्ष पूर्ण कर रहे हैं। इस शुभ अवसर पर सुबह 11 बजे से अग्रवाल भवन, जयपुर में पूजा और भोजन रखा गया है। आपकी उपस्थिति उनके लिए सबसे बड़ा आशीर्वाद होगी। कृपया बुधवार तक सूचित करें। पूजा, अंकित एवं परिवार
For a 75th or an 80th, add "with the blessings of our elders" before the invitation, and keep the font large if you send a card. Older guests will read it on a small phone.
Surprise birthday party
The most important line in a surprise invite is the one that keeps the secret. Put it in the first line, not the last, because people forward messages without reading to the end.
🤫 SHHH, it's a surprise! Please do not mention this to Meera. We are throwing her a surprise 30th on Saturday 17 January at The Courtyard Cafe, Pune. Arrive by 7:30 pm sharp. She walks in at 8. Reply only to this number, not in the group.
🤫 यह एक सरप्राइज़ है, कृपया मीरा को कुछ न बताएँ! शनिवार, 17 जनवरी को द कोर्टयार्ड कैफ़े, पुणे में उसका 30वाँ जन्मदिन मना रहे हैं। कृपया शाम 7:30 बजे तक पहुँच जाएँ, वो 8 बजे आएगी। जवाब सिर्फ़ इसी नंबर पर दें, ग्रुप में नहीं।
Office and friends
For colleagues, keep it light and make it clear what is planned, so nobody feels they have to bring a big gift.
It's Sameer's birthday on Friday! 🎂 Cake cutting at 4:30 pm in the 3rd floor cafeteria, followed by snacks. Do drop by for ten minutes, he would love to see you.
अपने यार समीर का जन्मदिन है! 🎂 शुक्रवार रात 8 बजे, हमारे घर पर। खाना, गाने और ढेर सारी बातें। आना ज़रूर, बहाने नहीं चलेंगे!
Return invitations and thank you messages
After the party, a one line thank you in the same group is warm and takes a minute. It also tells people who missed the party that you noticed.
Thank you all for coming and for the lovely wishes for Aarav. He was asleep before the cake was finished, but the photos will last forever. ❤️
आरव के जन्मदिन पर आने और इतने प्यारे आशीर्वाद देने के लिए आप सबका दिल से धन्यवाद। ❤️
When to send the message
- Kids' parties: 7 to 10 days ahead, then a short reminder the evening before.
- First birthdays and milestone birthdays: 2 to 3 weeks ahead, especially if relatives travel.
- Surprise parties: 1 to 2 weeks ahead, only to people you trust with the secret.
- Office: 2 to 3 days ahead is enough.
Send the invitation as a personal message to close family before you post it in a group. An elder who learns about a first birthday from a group forward may feel left out.
Make it more than a text
A plain message works, but a birthday invite with the child's photo, a countdown and a map button gets far more replies. You can make one free, add your own words from this page and send a single link on WhatsApp. See our birthday invitation designs, or start with a free card with name editing if you want an image to share instead of a link.

Paste your lines into any design, preview it free, and send one link on WhatsApp.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write a birthday invitation message on WhatsApp?+
Start with whose birthday it is and which one, then the day, date, time and place, and end with a reply line such as 'Please let us know by Friday'. Keep the first two lines complete, because that is all people see before they tap to read more.
Should I send the birthday invitation in Hindi or English?+
Send it in the language your guests speak at home. Many families send both: Hindi for elders and relatives, English for friends and colleagues. The wording on this page has both, so you can copy either.
How early should I send a birthday invitation?+
One to two weeks for most parties, two to three weeks for a first birthday or a 60th where relatives travel, and a reminder the evening before.
How do I say no gifts in a birthday invitation?+
Add one gentle line at the end, such as 'Your presence is the only gift we wish for' or in Hindi 'आपका आशीर्वाद ही सबसे बड़ा तोहफ़ा है'.
