Why parents love it
- The matching animated mobile invite is included, not an upsell, so your digital send looks as polished as the printed card.
- A calm vintage watercolor airplane and cloud design, not a loud cartoon, so it suits a first birthday and still feels special at an older age.
- Phone editing is built in. You do not need a laptop to finish it.
- One template covers print and digital, so you are not buying two products.
Perfect for
- A baby's first birthday with a "time flies when you're having fun" theme.
- A 2nd, 3rd or 5th birthday airplane or pilot party for a little aviator.
- An "up up and away" or "two the runway" themed celebration.
- A quick last-minute invite you edit on your phone and text the same evening.
- A printed keepsake card for grandparents alongside the digital send to everyone else.

Does the animated mobile invite really come included?
It does. You get the matching animated e-vite alongside the printable invitation, ready to send by text, email or WhatsApp at no extra cost.
What ages does this work for?
Any age. It is set up as a first birthday by default, but you simply type 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or any age you need, since all text is editable.
What size is the invitation and how do I print it?
It is a 5x7 inch invitation. Download the PDF with crop marks and bleed to print at home or at a local print shop, or send the JPG to an online printer.
Do I need to buy any software or fonts?

How do I send it digitally?
Download the JPG for a still invite or the video file for the animated version, then share it by text message, email, WhatsApp or social media.
