About this book
Only the birthday child is drawn. Friends appear by name only, so you never need anyone else's photos. Order from 10 copies, ideally 2 to 3 weeks before the party.
The printed minis are paid.
Page by page
Cover: the birthday child in the party theme
Your child, drawn from your photos, on a cover that matches the party, whether that is jungle, space or cricket. The title names the birthday, for example Thank You for Coming to Kiara's 6th!
Getting ready for the big day
The story opens on the morning of the party. Your child wakes up excited, uses the name you call them at home, and gets ready with Mumma and Papa.
A short adventure in the theme world
A few gentle pages in the party theme, built around what your child loves right now. A jungle party might mean finding a lost balloon with the animals. A space party might mean a quick trip past the moon to collect the candles.
Friends arrive, in words
The party fills up. Friends are part of the story in the text, but only the birthday child is illustrated. No other child is ever drawn from a photo.
Cake and a birthday wish
Everyone sings, your child blows out the candles and makes a wish. The page uses the birthday number you gave us, never a date of birth.

Questions parents ask
Is it really free?
Making the book and saving the PDF is free. Printing is optional and paid, and we confirm the price and delivery date by email before you pay.
What happens to my photos?
Photo books are laid out on your device and the photos never leave it. For illustrated books, up to three photos are used once to draw the character and then deleted. See privacy.
What is the minimum order?
10 copies. You can order anywhere from 10 to 50 minis yourself, one for each name on your guest list.
Will the guests' photos be in the book?
No. Only the birthday child is illustrated. Guests appear by first name only, on their own thank-you page, and we never ask for photos of other people's children.
How early should I order before the party?
Aim for 2 to 3 weeks before the party. When you enter the party date, we show the last day to order for it before you pay, so the minis reach you in time.
