Printable 50th Birthday Invitations with an E-Vite Included
A fiftieth tends to bring together the widest guest list of any birthday: school friends, colleagues, neighbors, children and sometimes grandchildren. These four printable 50th birthday invitations each include an e-vite as well, so you can mail a card to the people who expect one and text the rest. Edit them in Canva with a free account and download instantly.
All four are set up on US Letter. Nothing is shipped, so the invitations can go out the same week you set the date.
Elegant Burgundy
Ornate burgundy detailing with a vintage feel makes this the formal choice of the four. It suits a seated dinner, a restaurant private room or a party with a cocktail attire dress code. Print it on heavy ivory or white cardstock and it reads as a proper invitation. If burgundy clashes with the venue, the color can be changed in Canva without losing the ornamental style.
Minimalist 50th
Clean typography and a lot of white space. The Minimalist 50th birthday invitation is designed with a cocktail party in mind and works for anyone who prefers understated to ornate. Simple type keeps the date and address easy to read for every age group, which matters more than people expect when guests range from twenty to eighty.
Boho Rainbow
A terracotta rainbow and botanical details give Boho Rainbow a relaxed, warm look. It fits a garden party, a backyard barbecue or a brunch rather than a black-tie evening. The earthy palette photographs well and pairs easily with dried flowers, pampas grass or simple greenery on the tables.
Cocktail Party Martini
A single line-art martini glass on an elegant, minimal layout. This one is for a fiftieth built around drinks, music and dancing. Use the details line for the bar plans: an open bar, a signature cocktail named after the birthday person, or a polite note that the bar is cash after ten.
Printed for some guests, e-vite for others
Most fiftieth guest lists split into people who want a card in the mail and people who will only ever see a text. Use the printable version for the first group and the e-vite for the second. Track RSVPs in one place, and send a short reminder message about ten days before the party.

- Lead with the name and "is turning 50" or "fifty years of"
