A party that starts the moment they tap
Pop the balloons, pull the ribbon, blow out the candles. Give guests something to play with before they even reach the date, then make replying the easiest part.
Free to design and publish. No account needed.
Ira turns 5!
Saturday, 4 pm, Bounce Town
Opens with Film Title
What your birthday invitation can do
Three starting styles
Storybook colours for little ones, neon for teens and twenties, and champagne gold for the big milestone years.
Openings worth replaying
Pop every balloon, unwrap the gift or blow out each candle. Kids will open it more than once. So will the adults.
Photos front and centre
Add a gallery of the birthday person, from baby photos to last year's party, right inside the invitation.
A song to set the tone
Pick the music that plays when the invitation opens, from a nursery favourite to the playlist opener.
Ask what you need to know
Build the RSVP around your party: how many are coming, any allergies, a song request for the DJ.
The plan, with directions
Games, magic show, cake: lay out the party with timings and a map link so parents know when to drop off and pick up.
Why a birthday invitation should be fun to open
Birthday invitations usually arrive as a forwarded image in a class or friends group, and then sink under fifty other messages. An invitation that does something when you tap it gets opened, gets shown to the birthday child, and gets answered.
Each style is built for a different kind of party. Storybook and Jungle Safari are made for five-year-olds and their parents. Neon Party is photo-first and loud. Golden Toast is calm and elegant, for the parent turning sixty or the friend turning thirty who claims not to want a fuss.
Behind the fun, the practical side is handled. Replies come with a headcount, the dashboard tells you how many plates and return gifts to plan, and if the venue changes you post one update rather than messaging every parent separately.
Pick a starting style
Each one fills in sensible events, wording and a matching look. Change anything afterwards.

Birthday invitation questions
Start with Little ones. It uses bright, rounded designs such as Storybook, Jungle Safari and Rocket Ride, with a balloon-pop opening. You can switch template, colours and opening at any time.
Yes. Send the link only to the guests, and add a note in the description asking them to keep it quiet. Only people with the link can open it.
Yes. Add a question to the RSVP form and every answer appears next to the guest's reply in your dashboard and in the CSV export.
Yes. Add as many items as you like, such as games, a magic show and cake cutting, each with a time, venue and description.
It does. The Milestone style uses elegant gold layouts and a blow-the-candles opening, and works well for dinners with toasts and speeches.
Pick a style and start the countdown
Choose Little ones, Teens & twenties or Milestone, and change anything as you go.
