Are birthday invitations free to send?

Yes. Every birthday template is free to customize and send, with no coins, no per-guest charges, and no watermarks on the invitation your guests receive.

Can I send a birthday invitation by text?

Yes. Your invitation is a shareable link, so you can send it by text message, email, or any messaging app. Guests open it on their phone and RSVP without downloading an app.

Do you have invitations for kids and adults?

Yes. There are templates for first birthdays, kids parties, milestone birthdays, and grown-up dinners, so you can match the look to the age and tone of the celebration.

Can I see who has RSVP’d?

Yes. RSVP tracking is built in. As guests respond you see every yes, no, and maybe in real time, which makes planning food and favors easy.

When should I send birthday invitations?

For most parties, sending two to three weeks ahead gives guests enough notice to reply and plan, with an RSVP date about a week before so you can finalize your headcount.

Every design is free to customize and send, mobile-first, and built to look great on the phone screen where most of your guests will open it. There are no coins, no paywalls, and no ads cluttering the invitation.

Each invitation opens with an animated envelope, turning a simple "you are invited" into a small moment guests remember, and RSVP tracking is built in so you always know who is coming.

Picking a style for the birthday

For a child's party, bright colors and playful illustrations set an upbeat tone. For a milestone birthday, a bold number, a confident color, and clean type make the invitation feel like a celebration of the moment. For an adult get-together or dinner, a refined layout with a single accent color keeps it grown-up without feeling stiff. The quickest path is to try a couple of templates with the guest of honor's name and age already in them.

Birthday invitation wording example

Keep it short and friendly. A reliable format reads: "Join us to celebrate Maya turning 7! Saturday, March 22 at 2:00 PM. 14 Maple Street. Cake, games, and good company. Please RSVP by March 15." For an adult party you might write: "It is a big one. Come help Daniel ring in 40. Friday, June 6 at 7:00 PM. Drinks and dinner at The Foundry."

Add any practical details, like a dress code, a theme, or whether to bring a gift, on a line below the main message so the core invitation stays easy to scan.

Sending by text and tracking who is coming

Birthday plans move fast, so sending digitally is the easiest way to get a quick headcount. Share your invitation by text or any messaging app, and guests RSVP right from their phone. You see responses update in real time, which makes ordering the right amount of food, cake, and party favors much simpler. For kids parties, this also makes it easy to coordinate with parents who can reply at a glance.
