Invitation
Ola is turning 8!

Leo's Lekeland, Jessheim
Hi, Emma is invited! Reply by October 15 so we know how many wristbands to buy.
The reply is sent as an SMS straight to Kari (Ola's mom)The problem
The invitation’s in the backpack. The reply never comes.
The paper slip goes missing, the group chat buries it, and the parents think “I’ll reply tonight” three nights in a row. Nobody means any harm. But the play center wants a headcount, the cake needs ordering, and you’re left chasing people one by one. Bursdagsvar cuts out that round.
How it works
Four steps. No download for anyone.
Write the invitation
The child’s name, date, time and place. Add the guests and one mobile number per family. Takes a couple of minutes at the kitchen table.
Send each family their own link
Each guest gets a personal reply link. You send it as a text from your own phone, already written, with one tap per family.
Parents reply with one tap
“Yes, we’re coming” or “Sorry, we can’t.” The reply arrives as a text straight to you, and you check it off in the overview.
Remind those who forget
The overview shows who hasn't replied. One tap sends a friendly reminder. Then you can book the indoor playground with the right numbers.
Price
25 kr per birthday.
Not per guest. No subscription. No “premium”. The price covers the texts and a little extra, and it's staying there.
Free, honestly
In this version you send the links and reminders yourself, with one tap per family from your own phone. We don't send any texts for you yet, so we don't charge. When automatic reminders are in place, a birthday costs 25 kr.
FAQ
What parents want to know
Do parents need to download an app or create an account?
No. They open the link, see the invitation and tap one of two replies. Their messaging app opens with the reply already written to your number.
Where is the guest list stored?
In the browser on your phone or computer. Not with us. The invitation lives in the link you send, and replies come as regular texts from them to you.
How much does it cost?
25 kr per birthday when automatic reminders launch. Never per guest, never a subscription. Right now everything is free, because we don't send SMS for you yet.
Do you send the reminders automatically?
Not yet. Today you get a pre-written reminder you send with one tap to everyone who hasn't replied. Automatic sending is the next step, and that's what the 25 kroner will cover.
Can I use it for a class birthday with 20 guests?
Yes, that's exactly what it's made for. Add the whole class, send the links, and watch the count grow as the replies come in.
