Astronaut Photo Birthday Invitation

About this design

PERSONALISED, SO NOT INSTANT: your invitation is made after you buy. You add one clear photo of your child and your party details, then we put your child onto the rocket and let you know when it is ready, within 1-2 working days of your photo. The instant download is your setup PDF; the picture of your child on the rocket comes later.

This listing includes a tap-to-open photo invitation with your child's photo in it, and RSVP tracking.

Your child on the rocket

A painted rocket (white with orange stripes and navy fins) flies in with your child riding it in a white astronaut suit. We cut their face out of the photo you send and fit it into the astronaut helmet ourselves, and their age goes in the circle on the rocket. Then "BLASTING OFF TO FIVE" (their age in words), their name, your date, time, venue and RSVP line fly in. Music plays throughout. At the end, guests tap "Tap for the party details" and your invitation page opens.

Your child's photo

• Send us one clear photo of your child. We fit it into the helmet ourselves: the face is your own photo, not drawn or changed by AI, and your photo is not sent to any AI or video company. We only use it to make your invitation. We delete our copy within 14 days of your invitation being ready, and sooner if you ask.
• You add the photo on your dashboard after you buy, and tick a box to confirm you are the child's parent or guardian. Best: a clear photo of their face looking straight at the camera, in good light, with nothing covering it (no dummy, hands or hat). The helmet covers most of their hair. You also give us your child's name and age, plus your date, time, venue and RSVP details.
• Your child's name, age and party details are built into the astronaut opening, so please check the spelling, date and venue.

What you receive

• Your photo invitation as a shareable web link. Send it by WhatsApp, text or email.
• A setup PDF with simple instructions: go to tap2open.co.uk/start and enter your Etsy order number and the name used on the order.
• A dashboard where you edit the page, manage guests and track replies.
• Digital download only. Nothing physical is posted. The setup PDF contains your instructions. The invitation itself is a web page.

What guests can do

The page shows the party date, time and venue, your welcome message, a live map with Open in Maps and Add to calendar, a note about gifts and a reply form. Guests can reply on the invitation without an account. The RSVP dashboard shows who is coming, who cannot make it, allergies and notes, plus sent and opened status for each guest.

Edit, track and send

Edit the invitation page from your phone: the wording, the date, time and venue, and which sections show. The astronaut opening keeps the details we made it with. Your link stays the same after edits. Add your guests, send by WhatsApp, text or email, send reminders to guests who have not answered and download your guest list if you want a spreadsheet.
