Personalized animated video invitations

An invitation sets the tone for an event, and an animated video invitation makes people excited before the party even starts. eCardToon 'You're invited' cards will feature a character who calls out each guest's name and announces your event in style.

Use them for birthday parties, baby showers, holiday gatherings, graduations, reunions or a simple dinner with friends. Include what, when and the theme in your message; keep street addresses and phone numbers for a follow-up text for privacy.

Message ideas: tease the theme ('dust off your disco shoes'), name the guest of honor, ask everyone to bring a dish or wear a costume, or tell them to reply to your text to RSVP. Kids' party invitations are especially fun when the character tells each child they're on the VIP list. For surprise parties, the card can remind guests to keep the secret, and because the link is private, the guest of honor won't stumble across it. Adults' events work just as well: a milestone birthday dinner, a book club kickoff, a game night, a housewarming, a holiday open house or a family reunion that has been years in the making. The character can even hint at the dress code or the menu so guests know what to expect.

Because every card is personalized, guests feel genuinely invited rather than added to a list. Cards are ready within minutes and arrive with a private link you can forward, plus a downloadable video. Each card carries one guest's name, so plan on one order per guest; it's worth it for the smile when they hear themselves called out.

As a rule of thumb, send invitations a few weeks ahead for big events and a few days ahead for a casual get-together, then follow up with the address. You'll see the full script before checkout, so the date and details are exactly right.
