Forty gets the good glassware. It's the milestone most often marked with a proper dinner — which means invitation wording that can carry a little formality without feeling stiff.
Starts from: “40th birthday dinner, Italian restaurant, black-tie optional, Saturday June 14 at The Astor Room” — edit anything once it’s designed.
Three directions — different wording, different design

Good to know
Name, milestone, date, time, venue, dress code if any, and how to reply. For dinners, spell the date out ('the fourteenth of June'); for parties, keep it punchy. Both registers are one sentence away in RevelPost.
Yes — upload any photo and it becomes the card's backdrop with the text set over it, and it survives every edit you make afterwards.
Every example above regenerates as your event — your names, your venue, your date, verified.
