How to Send a Birthday Invitation by Text Message (Video or Image)
A video invitation is a short animated clip with your photo and the party details. It is quick to make and it feels more personal than a plain text message. This guide shows how to create one and send it so everyone can watch it.
Step 1: create the video
Choose a design, add your photo, type the details (name, age, date, time and address) and pick the music. On AltaParty the preview is free and runs in your browser, so you can try it before you pay.
Step 2: download the file
Download the vertical MP4 video. It is the format phones play best. If you prefer a still, download the 1080×1920 image too.
Step 3: send it
- Text message (iMessage or SMS/MMS): attach the file in the conversation or the group chat.
- WhatsApp: tap the paperclip, choose the video and send it to a group or a broadcast list.
- Email: attach it, or upload it to a cloud drive and share the link if the file is large.
- Social media: post it as a story or a reel and tag the guests.
Tips for a smooth delivery
- Keep the video under 16 MB if you are using WhatsApp or MMS.
- Add the address as text in the message too, so guests can tap it to open the map.
- Include a reply-by date and your RSVP contact.
- Send a gentle reminder two or three days before the party.
