Designed for your occasion · $49 per event · up to 150 guests · you see it before you pay

What this invitation does for you

The number, done properly

The design is built around the age and the person: elegant for a 50th dinner, louder for a 30th. You see it finished before you pay.

A surprise that stays a surprise

Say so in the first line, send the link only to the guests, and every reply comes to you, not to the birthday person.

A seating plan for the dinner

For a sit-down dinner, draw the room, add the tables and seat the guests who said yes. When a reply changes, you move one name.

The evening, part by part

Drinks, dinner, the toasts, the dancing. Each part has its time, and the dress code sits right under the date.

Invitation wording you can copy

Change the names, dates and places and it is ready. When we make your invitation, you write the text or we put it together with you. More in our guide to online birthday invitations: wording, timing and RSVPs.

Frequently asked questions

How do you word a surprise party invitation?

Put the word surprise in the first line, give guests an arrival time 15 to 30 minutes before the guest of honor arrives, and ask them not to post about it. Send the link only to the guests.

How do you say no gifts on a birthday invitation?

Keep it short and warm: "Your company is the only gift needed" or "No gifts, please. Just bring yourselves." One line at the end of the invitation is enough.

Can guests bring a partner?

Say it on the invitation: "Partners welcome" or "This invitation is for you." Every reply lists the names of everyone coming, so you always know who your guests are bringing.

Can we make a seating plan from the replies?

Yes. The seating plan works from the guests who said yes, with the names of everyone in each party. You draw the room and the tables and seat people as replies arrive.

How much does it cost?

$49 once per event for up to 150 guests, with no subscription and no charge per guest. The design is made for your occasion, and you see it finished before you pay anything.
