Everything you need to create, personalize and share your invitation.
Getting started
Your invitation, made simple
Personalize your invitation online, publish it and share a guest link with family and friends. You do not need to write any code.
Best device for managing your invitation
We recommend using a desktop computer or tablet to manage your private dashboard and customize your invitation in the editor. A larger screen makes it easier to review settings, adjust artwork and check the layout. Guests can view your published invitation and send their RSVP on a mobile phone.
Your private editing link
After purchase, you receive an email with a personal link to your private invitation dashboard. Keep this link private. It gives access to your invitation and editing tools.
Your private editing link
Your guest link
Once published, your invitation has a separate guest link that you can share with family and friends. Guests see the published invitation, not your editor or private dashboard. Saving a draft does not update the guest page until you publish again.
Basic or Advanced?
Start in Basic mode for everyday changes. Switch to Advanced when you want more control over artwork, positioning, animation and layout.
Quick start
Open your private invitation dashboard using the link from your purchase email.
Open the editor and choose Basic mode.
Enter the name, age, date, time and location in Event.
Add your contact details in Host.
Personalize the wording and artwork if you wish.
Save your changes, review the details and publish your invitation.
Open the guest link on desktop and mobile before sharing it.
Basic & Advanced Editor
Start with Basic
Basic shows the everyday editing controls. Use it to update party details, text, cards, fonts and simple design settings.
Explore Advanced
Advanced provides additional controls for illustration positions, rotation, animation speed, colors and settings files. Switching modes does not erase your changes.
The six editor tabs
Event controls party details. Host controls contact information. Artwork controls illustrations and animations. Colors controls backgrounds and text colors. Typography controls fonts and sizes. Content controls wording and cards.
Move or close the editor
Drag the editor panel by its header to move it. Use the double-arrow button to switch sides. The X closes the panel without deleting your invitation.
Find additional settings
Scroll inside the editor panel and expand section headings to reveal more controls. Some settings are available only in Advanced.

Artwork & animations
Choose an illustration
Open Artwork and select an illustration. Each invitation theme includes its own artwork. Use Show this illustration to display or hide it.
Adjust size and animation
Use Size to make an illustration larger or smaller. Choose an Animation Preset to control its movement. Select No animation if you prefer a still illustration.
Position illustrations in Advanced
Advanced offers horizontal and vertical positioning, rotation and animation speed. Make small adjustments and check the result on desktop and mobile.
Decorate individual sections
Use Section decorations to add artwork to different parts of your invitation. Choose the illustration, its position and whether it should be mirrored.
Adjust spacing around decorations
Advanced settings let you change illustration size, offset and distance from the section bottom. Use Minimum space above clipart to prevent artwork from crowding cards or buttons.
Check the mobile layout
Some invitation sections extend beyond one mobile screen. Guests can scroll to see the full invitation. After adjusting illustrations or spacing, preview the complete design on a phone.
Open Colors to adjust the Hero background and individual section backgrounds. Use Top Color and Bottom Color to create a gradient. Choose the same color twice for a solid background.
Customize buttons and text
In Advanced, adjust button backgrounds, outlines and text colors. You can also change body text, card titles, descriptions and other text colors.
Keep everything readable
Check the contrast between text and backgrounds. Colors controls the interface colors, not the original colors inside the supplied illustrations.
Open Content > Opening / Hero to change the main headline, introduction and birthday sentence. Use {name}, {age} and {host} where you want information from Event or Host to appear automatically.
Edit section headings and descriptions
Open the relevant Content group to update section titles, introductory text and button labels. Change actual dates, times and addresses in Event.
Customize your activity cards
Open Activities or another card group. Select a card to change its title and description. Choose Original clipart, Emoji or No visual for the card's illustration style.
Add, move or duplicate cards
Use Add to create another card. Use the arrows to change its position, Duplicate to copy it or Remove to delete it. Each card group supports up to 16 cards.
Edit facts and practical information
Use the expandable fact cards for interesting information or short questions and answers. Use practical notes for information such as parking, food, clothing or what guests should bring.
Reset a card group
Reset this card section restores the original cards in that group. It does not reset the entire invitation. Export a settings backup first if you want to preserve your changes.
Guests open your published invitation and use the RSVP button to respond. They enter the parent or guardian name, choose whether they are attending, add the number of guests attending when applicable, and provide a required email address. They can also leave an optional message.
How guests RSVP

After submitting a response with a valid email address, guests receive a confirmation email containing a private link to their response. Ask guests to keep this link private.
