Questions parents ask.

Only what you type: usually a first name and the age they're turning. We never ask for photos, birthdates, schools or last names.

Only families you invited (each with their own private link), you, and any co-hosts you add. The address goes only to invited families. Guests never see each other's phone numbers or who said no.

Automatically, 30 days after the party. You can erase it sooner, and you can download the guest list any time before then.

No ads. No third-party trackers. Never sold or shared. There are no ads on your kid's invite or anywhere else, and we make money one way: the $29 package and optional add-ons. We count page visits privately to improve the site, with no cookies and no personal info.

Never. We only text the numbers you added, only about your party, and every family can reply STOP.

The invite, a private nudge to families who haven't answered, a "see you soon" reminder, a packing list for sleepovers, pickup reminders and thank-yous. Each one is written for you and dated to your party. It opens on your phone ready to send, so it's one tap.

No. Nudges are one-to-one, only for families who haven't answered. Nobody else sees them, and nothing is ever posted to a group.

Yes. From Party HQ you can text one family, everyone coming, or only the families still deciding. Up to 300 texts are included.

Every text is one you choose to send, so just skip that family. Their RSVP link still works.

Yes. Each text opens in your phone's messages app already written, with the family's private link, and you tap send. Families see it from you, a number they know.

Send real invites to 3 families free for 48 hours. No card needed, and nothing charges when it ends. Pay $29 once when you're ready to invite everyone.

No. $29 once per party. No subscription, no auto-renew, no coins, nothing to cancel.

Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, through Stripe's secure checkout. We never see your card number.

Write to us within 14 days and before your invites have gone out for a full refund of the package. Unused add-ons can be refunded within 14 days too. See the terms.

No. Each family taps their own link, sees the invite and RSVPs in about 30 seconds. Kids never have accounts.

Yes or no, their kid's name, allergies or food needs, sleepover or party only, a pickup time, and a note. Siblings can RSVP from the same link. Saying no is one kind tap: no guilt, no sad faces.

Yes. For whole-class parties, print the book-bag card: families scan the QR code, add their own number and RSVP. You approve each family before they see the address.

The party page has a "Text me my link" button. If their number is on your list, the link is texted again.

First birthdays through teens. The age you enter sets sensible defaults: parents stay and siblings are welcome for little ones, drop-off questions for kids, sleepover and late-over pickups for tweens and teens.

We hope not. Neon Glow, Spa & Movie Night, Game Night, Arcade and Camp-Out are made to look effortless. Let them pick: every theme is a tap away.

Neither. Every theme is for every kid. We suggest themes by age and interests, never by gender.

No licensed characters, brands or stock photos. Every character is original and drawn for BirthdayPartyPal.

Yes. Change the time, the plan, the theme or anything else, and every family's link shows the update right away. You choose whether to text families about the change.

Any time. New families get their own link, and Party HQ lines up their reminders too.

Text everyone from Party HQ in one tap, then erase the party. If no invites had gone out, you can ask for a refund within 14 days.

Yes. Invite co-hosts by email from Party HQ. They can run everything except billing and erasing, which stay with you.

Add them as a co-host and they'll see Party HQ too: who's coming, who's still deciding, and the headcount.

We build to WCAG 2.1 AA: real buttons and labels, keyboard support, visible focus, and text contrast checked on every theme. The decorative animations are hidden from screen readers.

If your device asks for reduced motion, the opening sequences, confetti and scroll animations switch off and everything shows in its final state.

Yes. Invites are light, fast web pages that work in any modern phone browser, with nothing to install.
