Product details
A boho bouquet of pampas, eucalyptus and terracotta foliage, handled with restraint: name in fine brown letters, plenty of air around it, a slow fade for the appearance. This online birthday invitation has the naturalness of a table set outdoors, linen cloth and strings of light bulbs.
For the 40th birthday of a man or woman who likes neither flashiness nor jokes about age. Perfect for a party in the countryside or a weekend in a holiday cottage: give the address with its map, the arrival time, what to bring. The 40th birthday invitation stays online, and you update it if the plan changes, without resending a link.
Fully customisable, no software needed
This design is a starting point. In our online editor, whose link you receive by email right after purchase, you can change the texts, the font, the colours (including your own, with the colour picker), the position of the text, the animation and the order of the sections, from your phone or your computer. No Canva, no account to create, no subscription: a single payment, unlimited guests.
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.
