Milestone birthdays often bring together thirty to eighty people: friends, family, colleagues. The animated birthday invitation gives them the date, the address with its map, the theme or dress code, and a form to reply. You know how many you will be, without keeping a list by hand.
Surprise party: how do you invite people discreetly?
Send the link in a private message rather than in a group, and say in your text that it is a surprise. When replying, each guest can leave a short note — an anecdote, a song for the playlist — and you find everything in the table of replies.

Frequently asked questions
Which ages are birthday invitation designs available for?
Designs exist for 18, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 years, and for children aged 1 to 10. The age shown is simply text: any design can be adapted to any age in the editor.
How do I organise invitations for a surprise birthday?
Send the invitation link in a private message rather than in a group, and state clearly in the text that it is a surprise. Guests reply on the page, without going through the person being celebrated, and you follow the replies from your editor.
How do guest replies (RSVP) work?
Your guests reply directly on the page: attendance, number of adults and children, allergies, a short message. You set a deadline after which the form closes. You find all the replies in your editor, with totals, and you can export them to a file that Excel can read, for the caterer. Online replies are included in the wedding, christening, communion and birthday plans; menu choice and custom questions are reserved for the wedding invitation.
How do I create an animated invitation?
In three steps: 1) you choose a design on joli-mot.fr and order it; 2) you receive the link to your online editor by email, where you enter names, date, venue and text, and set the font, colours and photo — allow 5 to 10 minutes, from a phone or a computer; 3) you copy the link to your page or its QR code and send it. No software, no Canva.
How do I send an animated invitation by WhatsApp?
Copy the link to your page from the editor and paste it into a WhatsApp chat or group: a preview appears with your names and the image of your invitation. The same link works by SMS, email or Messenger. Sending a link to 10 or 300 people doesn’t change the price.
