Kids' birthday invitations
8 designs
Free with an account: your invitation as a link, a QR code and a short video for WhatsApp.
Playful
Balloons, paper and a diagonal; the age as a sticker.
About this design
Confetti, balloons and a very heavy display face set tight. The children's family, and the only one whose type is allowed to be this loud. It carries five palettes rather than three because a child's birthday is the one occasion where the host has a colour in mind before they have anything else.
Ticket
A perforated ticket with the fixture as the headline.
About this design
A ticket: perforated edge, uppercase condensed type, the fixture where the headline goes. Built for cricket — the research found watch parties to be one of the largest occasions with zero coverage anywhere — and it works for a Super Bowl party or a run-club race day without changing anything, because the shape of the information is the same.
With your photo
These leave room for a picture of your own, added when you make the invitation.
Circle of Light
Editor’s pickAdd a photo
A photo in a lit circle, ringed in the accent, words beneath.
About this design
A photograph in a circle, ringed in the accent and lit from behind by a soft halo, the invitation set underneath in a rounded, friendly display face. Built for a child in a portrait: the crop is placed by one tap on the face and never by a face model. Without a photo the circle carries the family's confetti and balloons, which is how the gallery shows the slot without a placeholder face.
Usually at home, a clubhouse and a park, for the children, family and friends. Any time. Free invitation designs with RSVP and calendar, and no account for your guests.
Each one is a different visual tradition rather than a recolour of the same card. Tap a colour underneath to change the palette; every design carries your own wording, date and place.

Questions people ask
- Do my guests need an account?
- No, and they never will. A guest opens the link, types their name and taps Going, Maybe or Can't go. No password, no phone number, no app. If a page ever asks your guests for a password, it is not us.
- Can I text my guests?
- Only the ones who asked to be texted. A guest gives a number on their own — on our page, never yours — and confirms it with a six-digit code before we will send anything. You never see the number. Texts are limited to three per event so an invitation cannot become a mailing list, and cancelling or moving an event is never counted against that.
- Does it work in WhatsApp?
- That is what it is built for. Pasting the link shows a picture of the invitation with the date and who is hosting, before anybody taps — and the page opens in whatever browser your guest has, on any phone, including the ones that are not iPhones.
- Can guests add it to Google Calendar?
- Google, Apple, Outlook and anything else that reads a calendar file. There is a button on the invitation itself, and it works before anybody answers. If you change the time or the place afterwards, their existing entry updates — it does not add a second one — and cancelling removes it.
