Small itty bitty translation request. :)

My best friend is a Russian exchange student, and we are going to celebrate her birthday this week. This will be the second birthday she has spent away from home, and I wanted to give her a little taste of it back.

Can anyone please tell me how to write out "Happy Birthday Alesya". I want to write it on her birthday cake, and I don't trust the online translator websites anymore. Oh, and can someone please tell me why she found "Вы приглашены на сторону!" so funny when she got her invitation? That was supposed to say "You are invited to a party!", and that is what the translating site told me...I think they steered me wrong.

Thanks to anyone who can help, I'm new around here but trying to learn some Russian from my best friend. :)

ETA: Thank you everyone for your help! I am going to print out all the comments to show her, because now we can laugh about it together. :)
