Send a watercolour invitation to the grandchildren

A playful, wintry grandparent invitation

Children love to receive something that is meant just for them, and this card is easy to show them on a parent’s phone. Two rosy-cheeked children smile out of the picture in their red knits, one in a green coat, one in a plaid one, and a sled full of presents is waiting between them. Under the picture the grandparents tell the grandchildren what to expect: hot cocoa, a Christmas story and a small gift each. That is the whole online Christmas invitation, short and warm.

Grandparents can send the card via WhatsApp to the family group, email it or text it, and parents can pass it along to cousins. Everyone replies with one tap, opens the address on the map and puts the afternoon in the calendar. If a child asks how many nights are left, the date is right there on the card, and nobody has to hunt through old messages for the time.

Frequently asked questions

Can grandparents make this card without help?

Yes. The layout is ready, the text is written and the editor works with simple fields, so replacing names, address and date takes a few minutes.

What happens when a parent taps RSVP?

They say whether they are coming, can leave a message, and you see all answers together. That makes it easy to count the little gifts.

Is the picture suitable for very young children?

It is a friendly, soft watercolour with two smiling children, a sled and presents, so there is nothing scary in it. Even toddlers will point at the sled.

Can I replace the children with my own photo?

Yes. The illustration can be swapped for a family photo, for example the grandchildren in their winter coats. Here is how to use an illustration instead of a photo.

Is it cheaper than printed cards?

Usually it is more affordable than printing and posting cards to every household. The pricing page lists the options.
