Milestone birthday invitations

A 50th, a 60th, a ruby anniversary — the kind of evening with a venue, a menu and speeches. One page that tells guests everything, and one place where their answers arrive.

Designs for a milestone

A turntable for the decade you grew up in, a gold number for the age, or the night sky exactly as it stood on the day it all began.

Designs marked Premium come with the Premium pass, bought once for that one event. See pricing

What to put on a milestone invitation

  1. Whose celebration, and which number

    Say it plainly: "Tiina turns 60" or "Ants and Maie, 40 years married". Guests like to know before they choose a card.

  2. Venue, time and how long it runs

    A milestone is usually a sit-down evening. Give the start, the end if there is one, and use the "Getting there" note for parking or the hall entrance.

  3. Flowers and gifts

    If you would rather have a donation, a shared present or nothing at all, say it once on the invitation. A wishlist can hold a group gift that several guests pool towards.

  4. A reply date the venue can work with

    Set it to the day the restaurant needs numbers and the form closes itself after it. With Premium, guests also tell you about dietary needs and who they are bringing.

  5. The photos afterwards

    With Premium the invitation becomes a shared photo gallery once the evening is over, so everyone's pictures end up in one place.

Milestone invitation wording

Copy one, change the names and the number, and paste it into your invitation.

  • Formal

    Tiina Mets celebrates her 60th birthday and invites you to dinner on Saturday the 12th of October at 6 pm at the Old Mill restaurant.

  • Warm

    Sixty years, and still fond of a good party. Come and celebrate with us — dinner, music and plenty of stories.

  • Instead of flowers

    Instead of flowers, Tiina would be glad of a donation to the children's hospital. Your company is the only present she needs.

  • Surprise

    Ants turns 50 on Friday — and he has no idea we are throwing him a party. Please arrive by 6.30 pm, and not a word to him.

  • Anniversary

    Forty years ago Maie and Ants said yes. Join us to raise a glass to them on Saturday from 5 pm.

  • Relaxed

    Half a century and one very long table. Come as you are and stay as long as you like.

How it works

  1. Pick a design

    Every design takes your own photo, date, place and words.

  2. Share the link

    In WhatsApp, Messenger, a text or an email — or as a QR code on a printed card.

  3. Watch the answers arrive

    Guests reply in one tap, without an account, and the guest list fills itself in.

Questions hosts ask

  • How far ahead should a milestone invitation go out?

    Four to six weeks is usual, more if guests travel or the date falls in a holiday season. You can share the link as a save-the-date first and fill in the details later.

  • How do I say "no flowers" or ask for a donation?

    In one line of the invitation text — see the wording above. If you would like a shared present instead, a wishlist lets several guests pool towards one gift.

  • Can older guests reply easily?

    Yes. There is no app and no account: they open the link, tap yes or no and type their name. For anyone who prefers paper, print the QR code on a card.

  • Is it free?

    Designing the invitation and sharing it as a link is free, and so are the replies and the wishlist. You pay once, for that one event, only if you want kutsu.me to email the invitations and reminders, to ask guests more than their name, or to use a Premium design.

Start with the number and the date

Everything else — the menu, the speeches, the seating — can be added after you share the link.
