You decide to host. Saturday barbie. A backyard birthday. Drinks after work. Then the invite question lands.
Printing feels like overkill. A group chat feels forgettable. Hiring a designer is a quote, not a yes.
InviteCard sits in the middle. You pay A$9 once. Your video invitation card goes live. Guests open a link on their phone and RSVP. All done.
That fee is the complete job. Not a starting price. Not credits. Not a monthly trap for a one-off party.
What A$9 actually buys
You get a full-screen, shareable event page. It is not a PDF. It is not a still image pretending to be an invite. It is a live URL built for a phone.
Inside the card:
- Event title, date, time and location
- Your video as a full-bleed hero, autoplaying muted with tap to unmute
- An RSVP button: Yes, Maybe or Can't Make It, plus name, phone and any +1s
- A live Google Maps pin for the venue
- A weather forecast for the day
- Add to calendar (iCal or Google)
- Optional extras like dress code, what's included, age notes and how to get there
Guests get an animated card arrival. After they RSVP, confetti and a confirmation email. They also get a reminder 24 hours before, or straight away if they reply late.
You get an instant email when someone responds, a running RSVP count, and a full guest list with status.
One payment. One published card. Share it as often as you like. The link stays put.
Why video, for A$9
Video invitation cards are the most personal mode. You record or upload a short clip in the browser. No app. InviteCard processes it so it works on iOS, Android and desktop.
On the event page, your face and voice sit under the details. Guests hear you before they tap RSVP. At this price, that is rare.
The baked card image also becomes the preview when you drop the link in WhatsApp, iMessage or Instagram DMs. People see the invite, not a mystery URL.
Four other modes exist if video is not the vibe: AI Photo, AI Illustrated, Stock Photo, or Your Photo. Same A$9 publish. Same RSVP page. Pick video when you want it to feel like you handed them the card.
Everyday Aussie hosting, not a wedding quote
Casual users pay A$9 per card. That is the whole checkout. Stripe. Card published instantly. Share kit on the success page.
Copy the URL. Download an image for Instagram if links get fussy. Tap WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Facebook, email or SMS chips. You get a green Copied! so you do not bounce into the wrong app.
Under four minutes is the usual build:
1. Choose Video Invite (coral highlight, then Continue, so you do not wipe work by accident)
2. Record or upload
3. Fill in the event details
4. Preview
5. Pay A$9
6. Share
Spontaneous barbie. Kid's party while you are still packing the esky. A reunion you almost left as a text. Same flow.
If you run events for a living, A$49 a month unlimited exists. For one celebration, A$9 is the point. Pay once. Host.
What you are not paying for
You are not fighting templates. You are not downloading an app. You are not waiting on a designer. You are not printing, stuffing, or hoping the post arrives.
Free tools exist. They often mean ads, thin RSVP, or a design that looks like everyone else's. Premium wedding suites can run into hundreds. InviteCard is the A$9 lane: beautiful enough to take seriously, simple enough for a Tuesday night send.
Mobile first, because that is where people RSVP. Weather and maps so guests stop asking. Your video so it still feels like you.
Create it, pay once, send the link. The invite is published, shareable, and ready.
