Wishy the gift mascot

One link. The party details and the gift hints together.

Free Digital Birthday Invitations with Gift Hints Built In

Send one link with a classic paper-style card — date, time, location and RSVP — and a button to your kid's gift list, so guests choose something needed and nobody buys the same gift twice. Build it together ahead of the big day: snap photos of what they love in store or add links, and add them straight to the list.

Guests never sign up — they just open the link.

An invitation for every kind of birthday

Birthday parties happen in more places than one living room.

Home parties

Turn the backyard, the lounge room or a simple picnic into a fun party. Share one link to invite everyone.

Parks and venues

Booked the park, the trampoline jump or the local hall? Send the address, the arrival time and the finish time so everyone arrives on time and joins the fun.

Class and school celebrations

Share the class party details with a whole room of families all asking the same question: “What should I get?” Answer it once and share it via one link.

Family far away

Grandparents and cousins joining from out of town can see the date, the address and how to help. No phone call required — just one link.

Teams, clubs and playgroups

Birthdays that land mid-season or mid-playgroup, where one clear link beats ten separate messages in the chat.

No-presents parties

Share the invitation with all the party details — address, time and RSVP — and point anyone who asks about gifts toward your chosen family charity or savings goal.

This is what guests see — the invitation on top (the invitation is optional; you can share just a wish list), then every gift hint with photos, store, price and a claim button so nothing is bought twice.

How your digital birthday invitation works

Making kids' birthday invitations online takes about two minutes — no design skills, no printing.

1. Create a profile and add a wish list to it

Sign up free in seconds, create a profile for yourself, your kid or a family member, then add your wish list to the profile.

2. Add wanted items to your wish list

Paste a link from any store or snap a photo in-store. Add sizes, colours and notes so every detail is clear.

3. Share one simple link to share your wish list

Send the link by text, email or group chat. Family, friends and party guests don't need an account or app to open it.

4. Help your family and friends to choose

Guests claim what they plan to get so everyone knows it's taken — no duplicate presents, wasted money or unwanted gifts.

Why a birthday invitation with gift hints

Every parent knows the moment: a lot of nearly identical toys, a lot of clutter, and the one thing your kid actually wanted never arrives. Change this for good by creating your kid's My Gift Hint wish list — a short, optional list that helps guests choose without having to ask.

Not having a present party? The same link can point to a shared savings goal for something big — the first bike, swimming lessons — or to a cause your family supports.

Help one another to gift smarter.

  • Guests see the exact item, the store, the price and the link, so choosing takes a minute instead of a weekend.
  • A guest claims what they plan to buy, so two families never turn up with the same thing.
  • Change the time, address or RSVP date later and the same link always shows the latest version.
  • Nobody needs an app or an account — the invitation opens in any browser on any phone.

Birthday invitation questions

Is it free to create a birthday invitation?
Yes. My Gift Hint is free to use, and your first invitation is ready in about two minutes — no design skills and no printing.
Do guests need an account to open an invitation?
No. Your invitation link opens instantly in any mobile browser. There is no app to download and no login or sign-up for the people you invite.
Can I change the details after I send it?
Yes. Edit the date, time, location or RSVP date and the same link shows the latest version, so you never have to resend anything or chase anyone down.
Can guests see what to buy?
The invitation ends with a button to the birthday kid's gift hints, each with the store, price and link. A guest claims an item once they have chosen it, so nothing is bought twice.
Is it polite to put a wish list link on a birthday invitation?
It is widely accepted now, as long as it stays optional. Keep the party details first and the gift hints behind one optional button so it reads as help rather than a request. If you would rather not mention gifts, keep the link ready and share it only when someone asks.
How do I word a no-presents birthday party?
Say it warmly and briefly, for example “Your presence is the present.” If families still ask how to contribute, share a link to a shared savings goal for something big or to a cause your family supports.
How far ahead should I send birthday invitations?
Two to three weeks ahead gives families time to plan, with a quick reminder a few days before. Set your RSVP date about a week ahead so you have numbers in time for the venue or caterer.
