35 Thank You for Coming to My Birthday Party Example Messages

Birthday parties are fun! After your birthday party, you may want to express your gratitude to the birthday party attendees for coming. 

The tips and examples below will show you how to write a birthday thank-you message to the party guests. 

There will also be simple examples if you’d like your kid to write thank-you notes if the party was for your child and they are old enough to write.

I am a big fan of handwritten thank-you notes. However, you could also send a thank you text message, email, or call anyone that you want to thank for coming. 

If you decide to write a handwritten thank-you note or email, review the thank-you note writing steps to see the format of a full thank-you note.

Quick Birthday Party Thank-You Tips

Here are some tips for writing a thank you message for coming to a birthday party.

• I recommend specifically mentioning any gifts, but if you don’t know who gave what, being generic “thank you for the gift” is better than not recognizing the gifts at all.
• For messages where you want to mention your age, 50th, 70th, etc., when using the examples below, you can insert the 70th before the word birthday.
• The words “coming” and “attending” can be swapped out based on your preference.
• The examples below are the message section of the note or can be used as-is if you are not handwriting or emailing the letter.
• Words in [brackets] should be replaced with words that fit your situation.
• And you may also want to check out the thank you for the birthday wishes memes.

Note: The examples below are to thank people for attending a birthday party. For other parties, review these examples.

Birthday Party Thank You Messages Written by Your Kid

Note: If you have twins and are having the kids handwrite the notes, you can have them use the same thank you card. Have each kid write a message on opposite sides of the blank card. I am a twin, and this is how my mom had my brother, and I write notes. And it’s best if the message is different. One or two short sentences may be sufficient, depending on the child’s age.

#31 Thanks for coming to my party! I hope you had a nice time. The new board game will be fun to play with friends.

#32 I had fun at my party and hope you did too. I appreciate the cash in the card and will do something wise with it.

#33 Thanks for the money for my birthday. I will have fun spending it.

#34 You give the best presents! Also, thank you for making the Batman cake for me. My whole day felt extra special.

#35 Thank you for the birthday gift.
