Cool, unforced wording for 13th to 19th birthdays, with clear drop-off and pickup lines for parents.
Teen birthday invitations have to thread a needle: casual enough that the birthday teen actually approves it, and clear enough that other parents know the address, supervision plan and pickup time. Copy any example below and customize it for your event.
For an official teenager: fun plans with clear drop-off and pickup times.

Whichever tone you choose, every teen birthday invitation needs the same bones: who, what, when, where, and when to reply.
Parents driving teens need to know whether pickup is at 9:30 PM, 10:30 PM, or the next morning after breakfast. Putting the exact time on the card saves a dozen late-night texts.
If there is a pool, an outdoor projector, a bowling alley or a nicer restaurant, mention it in one short line so nobody shows up in the wrong shoes.
On HeyVite, you can add a co-host on eligible paid plans or with the Co-Host add-on, or simply share private links over text so your teen can send them straight into their group chat while you still see the headcount.
Where the wording goes next: designs, guides and the rest of the library.
