What you should put on an engagement party invitation really depends on what you like. If you have a theme in mind then that's what you'll put on the invitation. It's really up to you.
Traditionally, the brides parents give an engagement party and the party is to be held in their home. Although now, engagement parties can be hosted by anyone close to the couple. Today the parties can be as formal or casual as you wish to make it. It's also becoming more common for the couple themselves to throw a "couples shower" at their home or another venue which can be much like an engagement party.
I believe that engagement party speeches should be limited to the Fathers (of Bride firstlt, then Groom) and to the Groom and or the Bride or both if they so wish. This occasion is to enjoy the celebration with family and friends and should not be burdened down with too many or too long winded speeches. Ken

You can s imply write 'cash bar' on the invitation and also if there will be food; whether it's a live band or not, etc. If this birthday is in a hall or reception area then be sure to put a map in with the invitations and your home phone and cell numbers.
Since it is the bride's mother who is sending out the invitations, which is customary then the return address should be to your parents or your mother.
You can buy invitations at any card shop or party store. All the information is on there. Put:DateTimeIt's at the officeFood and refreshments will be served (music if there will be any)RSVP .... your phone #, cell #, Email address or Fax #Put your return address on the upper left of the envelope to the person and then inside the card put another one with your address and a stamp on it. Some people will mail back a response, but most seem to phone or fax or email.
* Wedding invitations should be sent two to three months before the wedding so it gives the guests a chance to reschedule other things in order to make the wedding.
you would put the stepmother and the father on it
You can address the party invitations to the parents and be sure in the invitation you give the parents a set date so you will know exactly how many children are coming to the birthday party. The actual invitation can have the 'Bobby is invited to Randy's 7th birthday party on March 1, 2010 held at (put your address here or wherever you have decided to have the birthday.)
Generally, when you send out your baby shower or wedding shower invitations, you put that information with those invitations.
Some brides don't put the bridal registry cards in their invitations, but it is a good idea to put one in so people know which stores you are registered at.
