Worth knowing
Give an arrival time fifteen minutes before the guest of honor's — the sample note line is already written that way; just change the names and times.
How it works
Photo, details, colors, download
Open any design above in the maker. Drop a photo into the window and drag it until the face sits where you want it. Type the name, the age line, the date, time and place, and the RSVP; the back of the card updates with them. Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG, or a Word file.
Nothing is uploaded — the card is built in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Does the card say it is a surprise on the front?
Yes — all three carry "surprise" on the front, so a parent reading it at the school gate knows not to mention it.
Can Secret Mission double as a spy-party invitation?
It can; drop the word "surprise" from the headline and it is a mission briefing.
