Winglark

Birthday

A birthday worth dressing up for starts with the invitation.

Thirty, forty, eighty-one — whichever number it is, the invitation sets the tone before anyone arrives. Pick a design, say who is coming and what they can eat, and know the headcount before you order the cake.

Birthday

What you can set up

  1. An invitation in your own colours

    Start from a birthday template or a blank page, set the colours, the typeface and a photograph, and preview it exactly as a guest will see it.

  2. The evening, and when the cake comes out

    Write the details guests plan around — the theme, the dress code — into the invitation, and add a running order with a time for each moment, the cake included. The guest page shows all of it.

  3. Replies that answer the real questions

    Each guest has one reply and can change it later from the same link, unless you close changes. The reply page suggests a question about allergies and dietary needs. Silence stays “no answer”, never a quiet “no”.

  4. Plus-ones you control

    Allow none, one or several companions per guest, for everyone or only for the guests you choose. Every companion is counted in the expected headcount, and one you add by name gets a door code of their own.

  5. A second nudge for the ones who forgot

    Filter the list to the guests who have not replied yet and send any of them the invitation again. It is the same link, and an answer already given is never touched.

  6. A quick door, if you want one

    A QR code per guest and any phone as the scanner, even without signal. Door check-in is a paid option, on the plans that include it or as an upgrade for a single event. Useful for a rented venue, a guest list at the door, or simply knowing who made it.

What your guests see

Your guests’ experience

Guests never need an account. They open an invitation, answer in a minute, and walk in with a code on their phone.

The evening does not end at the door.

Each guest gets their own page for the evening on Companion, and the morning after AfterFlow thanks those who came and writes to those who could not — from the same guest list.

Birthday

How people use it

A rooftop thirtieth

Eighty invitations, a plus-one each, and a caterer who needs numbers by Friday. The expected headcount counts every companion, and the reply export — a spreadsheet with each guest’s dietary answer — is ready to send on.

A surprise, kept

Guests reply to the organiser, not to the person having the birthday, and the guest page only says what you let it say.

A family milestone

Grandparents, cousins and old friends on one list, cleaned of duplicates before anyone receives two invitations.

Birthday

Planning a birthday party: the four jobs

Birthday invitation wording

Lead with whose birthday it is, and which number if they do not mind sharing it, then the date, the time and the place. The theme and the dress code are what guests plan around, so write them into the invitation, and give the moment the cake comes out a time in the running order.

Read the guide: Birthday invitation wording

How to collect birthday RSVPs

Ask whether each guest is coming, how many they bring and whether they have allergies, with a deadline that falls before the cake and the catering are ordered. Filter to the guests who have not answered and send them the invitation again; silence stays “no answer”, never a quiet no.

Making the birthday guest list

A milestone birthday list spans decades: grandparents, school friends, colleagues, neighbours. Combine them into one list, check for duplicates before anyone receives two invitations, and set the plus-one allowance per guest, since every companion counts in the headcount the venue will ask for.

Guest arrival at a birthday party

A party at home needs no door. At a rented venue, or a party with a guest list at the entrance, a QR code per guest and any phone as the scanner tell you who made it, even without signal. Door check-in is a paid option, on the plans that include it or for one event.

Questions

How do I make a birthday invitation with RSVP?

Design the invitation with the date, the place and what kind of party it is, send it by email so that each guest gets their own link, and ask on the reply page whether they are coming, with how many people and about any dietary needs. A reminder goes only to those who have not answered, and each guest shows a QR code at the door.

Can guests bring someone?

Yes, if you allow it. You set the allowance — none, one or several — for everyone or for the guests you choose, and every companion is counted in the expected headcount.

Do guests need an account to reply?

No. They open the invitation, answer, and can come back later to change their reply from the same link, unless you have closed changes.

Can I use my own photograph on the invitation?

Yes. Upload a picture, choose how it sits on the design, and see the result before anything is sent.

Is there a separate type for children’s parties?

Yes. A children’s birthday asks how many children are coming and how many adults are staying, and its allergy question is required rather than optional.
