Royal Prince & Princess Theme
Crowns, gold accents and a regal "Our Little Prince/Princess Turns One" line. Timeless, elegant, and a favourite for grand first birthday parties.
Baby Krishna / Laddu Gopal Theme
A culturally loved choice for Indian families — your little one styled as baby Krishna with peacock feathers, matki and marigold. Perfect for traditional celebrations.
Jungle Safari & Animals
Friendly lions, elephants and giraffes in cheerful colours. Playful and gender-neutral — a hit for both the kids and the photo backdrop.
Rainbow & Balloons
Bright, joyful and bursting with colour. A classic celebration look that instantly says "party" and works beautifully for first birthdays.
Cartoon & Character Theme
Build the invite around your child's favourite character or a custom cartoon avatar. Kids love it, and it ties the whole party theme together.
Floral & Pastel Elegance
Soft blush, mint and lavender florals for parents who want something gentle and refined rather than loud. Especially lovely for daytime garden parties.
"My First Year" Photo Collage
A month-by-month photo journey of baby's first 12 months. Heart-warming, deeply personal, and a beautiful keepsake for grandparents.
AI Video Invitation
Go beyond a static card with an animated, music-backed video invite. Shareable on WhatsApp and Instagram, it grabs attention the moment it lands.
Traditional Ethnic Theme
Rich Indian motifs, paisley borders and warm festive tones — with invitation text in Hindi or Marathi so every guest feels personally welcomed.
Personalised Name & Caricature
A custom caricature of your baby paired with their name in bold, fun typography. Unique, modern, and guaranteed to stand out in the family group chat.
