Why an animated space birthday invitation?
Future astronauts want a countdown. This space birthday invitation feels like a little launch video that guests control themselves: they hold the button, flames and smoke build up, and the rocket blasts off. The card is a deep-blue galaxy with a golden planet and bold, futuristic letters.
Mission control stays simple for you. Every RSVP, with the number of kids and adults and any allergy notes, lands in your live dashboard, and guests can add the date to their calendar in one tap.

Frequently asked questions
Are these space birthday invitations free?
Yes, creating and sending one is free. During launch (until 30 November 2026) every feature is free with unlimited replies; after that, the free version includes up to 5 replies.
Is it like a space video invitation?

How do I send it by text or WhatsApp?
When you finish, copy the link or use the share button, then paste it into a text, a WhatsApp chat or an email.
Can I change the opening?
Yes. The rocket is the default for this page, but you can choose the dinosaur egg, the piñata or any other opening.
What age is a space party best for?
Space parties are great from about age 4 to 10. Younger kids love the glow sticks and stars; older kids enjoy building and launching rockets.
