The birthday (or retirement) invitation that keeps the secret
A milestone birthday or a retirement party you want to make a big deal of is often planned in secret — and that's exactly where it gets tricky: you need to coordinate guests without one stray message or misplaced phone call giving it away to the person the party's for.
Qui sera là? adds a discretion banner to your invitation: a visible reminder the moment a guest opens the link, so they instantly understand it's a surprise and know to keep quiet — no need to spell it out yourself in every message.
You then choose how to share it: a personal email invitation for the inner circle, or a public link if you'd rather keep everything in one place — and you track confirmations live on your dashboard, right up to the big day.

How to create the invitation, surprise or not
Create the invitation: the guest of honour's name, the date, the venue, and if it's a surprise, turn on the "It's a surprise, shh!" banner — it shows at the top of the invitation for every guest.
Pick a festive design: Confettis, our flagship design, or Grand Soir, more understated and art-deco, for an evening you want to feel elegant.
Share carefully: personal email invitations for the inner circle, or a public link if the guest of honour doesn't have access to it — you decide who gets which link.
Free for up to 10 guests. After that, $4.99 CAD once, for unlimited guests.
Why it works for a party you want to pull off
The discretion banner reminds every guest, the moment they open the link, to keep the secret — a simple safety net that saves you from repeating the reminder in every single message.
Confettis, the gallery's flagship design, sets a festive tone for a milestone birthday at a glance; Grand Soir, more muted and gilded, suits a retirement reception you want to feel more formal.
You stay in control of who gets the invitation: personal email links for a small, trusted circle, or a public link if you'd rather centralize replies from a bigger group.
The live dashboard saves you from texting every guest to confirm — a real plus when every message exchanged is a chance to blow the surprise.
Frequently asked questions
- How does surprise mode work?
- A discreet banner appears at the top of the invitation, reminding every guest it's a surprise and to keep it quiet — you don't need to do anything beyond turning it on when you create the invitation.
- Can we limit invitations so the guest of honour can't see them?
- Yes. You can turn off the public link and send only personal email invitations to a chosen circle — once turned off, the public link stays closed until you decide to turn it back on.
- Is it free for a birthday or retirement party?
- The free tier covers more intimate parties (the included guest count is shown above), surprise banner and live dashboard included. For a bigger group, a single one-time payment removes the limit.
