Winglark

Children’s birthday

Balloons are the easy part. The allergy list is the one that matters.

A soft-play morning, a garden with a magician, a bowling lane for twelve. The invitation goes to parents, the answers come back with how many children, how many grown-ups are staying and what nobody may eat — before you promise the party bags.

Children’s birthday

What you can set up

  1. An invitation a child will point at

    Start from a template or a blank page, choose the colours, a playful typeface and a photograph of the birthday child if you like, and preview it exactly as a parent will see it on their phone.

  2. The questions parents expect

    The reply page suggests four: how many children are coming, how many adults are staying, allergies or dietary needs, and an emergency contact number. The first three start as required; you can edit, remove or add questions before anything is sent.

  3. Allergies you cannot miss

    Because the allergy question is required, no reply arrives without an answer to it. The reply export puts every answer in its own column, a spreadsheet you can hand to the venue or the person making the cake.

  4. Siblings on your terms

    Plus-ones start switched off for a children’s party, because the reply already asks how many children and adults are coming. Switch them on for the guests you choose — a family with a younger sibling, a friend who needs a lift.

  5. The class list, cleaned first

    Import the class list from a spreadsheet, CSV or Excel, and check the errors and likely duplicates before a parent receives two invitations. Mark guests as family or child to filter the list later, and save it for next year.

  6. A nudge for the parents who forgot

    Filter to the families who have not replied and send them the invitation again. It is the same link, and any answer already given stays exactly as it was.

Children’s birthday

How people use it

Twenty-eight in one class

The whole class is invited from one imported list. By the reply deadline you know how many children are coming, how many parents are staying for coffee, and which two cannot have nuts.

A party at a venue that needs numbers

The trampoline park wants a headcount and dietary notes three days ahead. The reply export is ready to send, one row per family, one column per answer.

A change of plan on Saturday morning

A child wakes up with a cold and a parent changes the reply from the same link. The change is kept, the counts follow it, and you know before you lay the table.

Children’s birthday invitation wording

Write for the parents: the child’s name, the date, the start and pick-up times, the address and anything to bring, such as socks for soft play. A playful typeface and a photograph of the birthday child give the invitation something a child will point at on the phone.

How to collect RSVPs for a kids’ party

Ask how many children are coming, how many adults are staying and what nobody may eat, plus a number to call. The allergy question is required, so no reply arrives without it, and a parent can change the answer from the same link when a child wakes up with a cold.

Making the children’s party guest list

Usually it is the class list, so import it from a spreadsheet and check duplicates before a parent receives two invitations. Plus-ones start off, because the reply already counts children and adults; switch them on for a family with a younger sibling, and save the list for next year.

Read the guide: Making the children’s party guest list

Arrival and pick-up at a kids’ party

Most children’s parties need no door, only someone who knows the children and the pick-up time. At a rented venue with a guest list, door check-in shows each family a QR code and welcomes them by name, and the allergy answers are in the export for the venue staff.

Questions

Why are plus-ones off for a children’s party?

The reply already asks how many children and how many adults are coming, so a separate companion allowance usually double-counts. You can still switch plus-ones on for everyone or for chosen guests.

Can I make the emergency contact number required?

Yes. It is suggested as optional, and you can make it required, reword it or remove it before sending, like every suggested question.

Do parents need an account to reply?

No. They open the invitation, answer and can come back to change the reply from the same link until you close changes.

Can I invite parents who speak different languages?

Yes. The invitation email and the reply page appear in each guest’s language — English, Turkish, German, French or Spanish — while the words you wrote stay as you wrote them.

Is this different from an adult birthday?

Yes. A birthday suggests one optional allergy question; a children’s birthday asks for children and adults separately and makes the allergy question required.
