Why parents love it
- Animated mobile evite included, a moving evite that grabs attention in a group text, and almost nobody in this theme offers it
- Edit it tonight from your phone in the free Canva app, no laptop or print shop appointment
- One purchase, two versions: the printable card for the party table and the digital evite for the group chat
- The van sits front and center, peace sign and all, instead of the side profile everyone has seen a hundred times, so it stands out in a sea of retro party invites
- Reuse with no expiration for the dessert table sign, favor tags, or thank you cards in the same style
Perfect for
- A mom planning a backyard tie-dye party pictures the front-facing van printed big on the invite and knows it will match her rainbow balloon arch
- A grandma asks for a printed stack to mail out and loves that the peace sign and daisy details look just as sweet on paper as they do on a screen
- A group of friends spot the invite in a family text thread and immediately ask where the groovy van design came from because it looks different from the usual side-view versions
- A dad setting up a retro-themed dessert table wants the invite's checkered corners and rainbow colors to carry through onto his printed party signs
- A mom sending digital invites through email wants a design bold enough to catch attention in a crowded inbox, and the front-view van does exactly that
✦ good to know
Tiny questions.
Easy answers.
The little things parents ask right before hitting buy. Still stuck? We’re one Etsy message away.
Ask on Etsy ↗Is the van on this invite shown from the front or the side?
This design features a front-facing view of the hippie van, which is different from the side-view style most groovy invites use, so it stands out with the peace sign clearly visible on the bumper.
Does the animated mobile evite really move?
Yes. The evite version has gentle motion that plays when your guests open it on their phone, which is what makes it stand out in a busy group text. You send it as a link or video through text, WhatsApp, or email, and there is nothing for your guests to download.
Can I edit this groovy 5th birthday invitation on my phone?
Yes. Basic phone editing is supported through the free Canva app, so you can type the name, the date, and the address right from your phone tonight. A tablet or computer gives you a bit more room, but a phone is enough to finish and send it.
Do I need to pay for Canva or design software?
No. The template opens in a free Canva account and there is nothing to install. Everything you need to change the wording and colors works on the free plan.
How do I print the invitation once it is done?
Download the print ready PDF with crop marks and print at home on cardstock, use a local print shop, or upload to an online printer. The file is sized 5x7 inches, and the JPG is best for texting or posting the invitation digitally.
Will I get a physical invitation in the mail?
No. This is a digital template for personal use only and no physical item will be shipped. You receive editable files instantly so you can print or send them yourself the same day.
Can I reuse this for other party items?
Yes. There is no expiration on your edits and downloads, so you can reopen the template for a matching welcome sign, favor tags, or thank you cards in the same style.
