Saturday, 17:00. The cake is ordered, the shirts are washed, and the group chat is at 42 messages. Half the parents think it's the park, two think it's Sunday, and someone is still asking for the address. Nobody has it all on one screen. A football birthday digital invitation fixes that in a single link: line-up, kick-off, map, RSVP. You can pick a design from the collection and send it today.

What follows is what to write in each field, which photo belongs on the cover, and which RSVP questions actually get you an answer instead of a maybe.

The shirt and the ball are decoration. The words are what parents read at 7 a.m. on a phone. Start with the label: 'Leo turns 8' in the label field, and Leo's full name in the names field, so the invitation says it on the first screen instead of hiding it under a photo. Then put the details in one scene: 'Saturday, 17:00, please arrive ten minutes early' next to the address and the map, so nobody asks twice. And a line for the kit instead of a serious dress code: 'Wear your shirt — there's a prize for the strangest badge.'

  • Label with name and age ('Leo turns 8') plus one short football line for the cover.
  • Date, kick-off time with a ten-minute arrival margin, address and map in the same scene.
  • One cover photo of the birthday child in the shirt, plus up to five decorative photos.
  • Three RSVP questions, no more: are you coming, how many of you, and are you staying for the after-match?

The best football birthday digital invitations get the photos right

You get up to six of your own photos. The limit is your friend: one cover — the birthday child in the shirt — then three of the party itself (the pitch-shaped cake, the bunting, the sweets table) and one or two of the team or the family. They frame themselves, and you can swap any of them later.

Choose the cover for a 6-inch screen. A face or a badge at medium distance reads fine; a wide shot of the decorated room turns to mush. Build the scenes like a match: one that announces, one with the time, place and map, one for RSVP and music. Confirmations land in an ordered list inside the invitation, so there's no counting replies between stickers and voice notes.

The invitation doesn't need to look like a stadium. It needs to say who, when and where before anyone scrolls.

The caterer cancels and the party moves to the park. You change the place, the map and the time in the editor, publish, and the link stays the same — everyone who opens it sees the updated version. A line added the night before ('Bring water, it's going to be hot') doesn't mean reprinting anything. And in test mode you edit the cover without paying, so you don't buy a design you haven't seen yet.

How much does a football birthday digital invitation cost?

29,99 EUR per invitation, paid once. It's a web page for your event, not a PDF: you share a link, a QR on the fridge or a message, and guests answer from their phone without installing anything. Text can be set in Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German, which helps when half the class reads at home in another language. One honest note: it's digital, so nothing gets printed. If a grandparent wants something for the drawer, send the link to everyone and print two or three copies yourself. Pick a design, set the scenes, publish — the rest is just showing up on Saturday.
