How do I send kids birthday party invitations online?

Pick a design your child likes, add the party details, and import the guest list from a spreadsheet or your address book. Most class lists are a mix of email addresses and phone numbers, so you can send by email or by text message (in supported countries) in the same mailing. Turn on RSVP tracking, add custom questions for allergies and drop-off, and the replies come back in one place instead of across a class group chat.

When should I send a kids birthday party invitation?

Three to four weeks before a weekend party, and four to six weeks if the date falls near a school holiday, when families book up early. Set the RSVP deadline about a week before so you can confirm numbers with the venue or the caterer, then send a reminder to the parents who have not replied. Weekend slots at pools, play centers and party venues go fast, so the invitation that arrives first usually wins the date.

How do I ask about food allergies and whether parents are staying?

Custom questions handle all of it. Add an allergy or dietary field, a question about whether the adult is staying or dropping off, and one for siblings coming along, and every answer arrives attached to the guest who gave it rather than scattered across replies. Ask at the invitation stage rather than the day before: the RSVP is the one moment when every parent is already answering you.

Are there ads on the invitation?

No. There are no ads on the card, on the page it opens to, or in the email that carries it. Free invitation sites generally pay for themselves with advertising placed around your invitation, which is how a child's party ends up sharing a page with a promotion nobody chose. Greenvelope charges for the mailing instead, so the only thing on the page is the party.

How much do kids birthday party invitations cost?

Greenvelope invitations are a flat one-time price starting at $19, set by guest count, with no subscription required and no per-guest charges, so the cost per child falls as the list grows rather than rising with it. If you are sending thank you notes after the party as well, an annual membership covers unlimited mailings as long as each one is for a different event. There is no credit card required to start.

How does Greenvelope calculate people?

Each person (with or without email) added to the mailing list counts as (1) person. For example, "The Smith Family" of John, Jill, Tim, and Lauren would count as (4) people.

What if I am unsure how many people I need?

In this case, we recommend purchasing a smaller package initially. You can then easily purchase additional people from within your mailing on an as needed basis.

Can I send in multiple batches?

Greenvelope allows you to resend invitations or send invitations to new contacts at any time.

What if I need multiple versions of my card?

The best way to set this up would be to have two different mailings. You will need to purchase a separate "single mailing" package for each version.

Do you offer RSVP tracking?

Yes! Greenvelope's robust RSVP tracking makes planning effortless. You can collect RSVPs, track plus ones, gather meal selections, send RSVP reminders, set up seating charts, and more.

Can I also send my invitations via text message?

In addition to email, you can send your Greenvelope invitations and cards via SMS text message, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, or a sharable link.

Do you offer digital thank you notes or save the dates?

Yes, in addition to our digital invitations and RSVP tracking, Greenvelope offers both save the dates and thank you notes. Each mailing type provides easy-to-use features, such as address collection on save the dates and individual customization for thank you notes.

What if I need to update my invitation after I've sent it?

You can do that! One of the many benefits of digital invitations is that you can add additional information, update your card, or quickly follow-up with guests with ease.

Can I send a sample to myself?

Yes! When you arrive at the 'Send' step after designing your mailing, your account information will automatically be added so you can easily send yourself a test and make sure everything looks exactly how you want it.

Our Help Center is always available to help guide you through the process and answer common questions. If you have additional questions, our in-house customer support team is available 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM PDT Monday - Thursday and 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM PDT Friday via support@greenvelope.com or 1-888-737-5635.

Kids Birthday Party Invitations, from First Birthdays to Teens

A kids party guest list is usually a class list, half of it phone numbers rather than email addresses, and the answer you need back is more than yes or no. Greenvelope sends by email or text, tracks who has replied, and asks what you need to ask: food allergies, whether a parent is staying, how many siblings are coming. Pick a design your child actually likes, add a photo and some music, and send. There are no ads on the card, on the page it opens to, or in the email. Every mailing is a flat one-time price starting at $19, set by guest count, with no subscription required and no per-guest charges. Thank you notes afterwards use the same designs and the same address book.
