Digital invitation for a first birthday: what to include
Digital invitation: A first birthday is planned by adults, but the invitation has to talk about a baby. Here is what goes on each scene, plus what a digital invitation costs

It is 9pm, the cake is ordered, and you are typing the same message into four different chats: the address, the time, whether there is parking. A digital invitation turns that message into one link. You can pick a design from the collection and send it tonight, and the same page works for first birthday invitations going to twelve people or to forty.
The party gets arranged between adults. The invitation still has to be about the baby. Here is what goes on each scene of these digital invitations, what the price is, and where the answers end up.
First birthday invitations: the baby is the star, not the menu
The cover label settles it. Write the baby’s name and the age — “Mateo turns one” — not “kids’ party”. It is the first thing anyone reads when the link opens. One sharp photo of the baby looking at the camera does more than ten pictures of the cake: you can upload up to six photos and mark which one opens the page. The line underneath can carry the adult joke — “A year of short nights and a full table” — and the character counter keeps it from being cut off on a phone.
- Name and “turns one” as the cover label, not “children’s party”.
- One clear cover photo of the baby, and up to five more across the scenes.
- Two or three scenes to tell the year: the first day, the first steps, then the table and the time.
- Date, time and place on the cover. The map and any dress code note come in a later scene.
How much does a digital invitation cost for a first birthday?
29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once. No subscription, no monthly fee that runs out before the candles. Paper works differently: design, printing and postage add up, and every change of time or venue means a reprint. Change the hour on a digital invitation and it costs nothing extra — the link stays the same and guests see the updated version when they open it.
You can test it before you pay. Test mode lets you edit the cover and see how it looks; buying unlocks every scene in the invitation, which is the part that actually reaches the families.
An RSVP you do not chase through WhatsApp
Most digital invitations in the collection keep confirmations inside the page, in one ordered list. Open it and you see who is coming, without scrolling back through forty chats. You set the questions before you send — how many adults, how many children — so the answers match what you need to know for this party instead of a generic form.
One link, one list of answers, and a page you can fix at midnight without reprinting anything.
Why a digital invitation suits a one-year-old
There is no app to install: a grandparent opens the link in the browser on their phone and replies from there. Share it as a link, a QR code or a message, and set the content in any of the seven languages the site works in, which helps when the family is spread across countries. On the day you will have a baby in one hand and a phone in the other, and the invitation is already doing the work: no envelopes, no printing, no calls asking for the address. Pick a design, upload the photo and send yours today.
