Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 11 November 2026

1. About these terms

These terms explain how you can use Envite (envite.ie), an online service for creating invitations to children's parties, collecting replies and sharing a gift list. Envite is run from Ireland. By creating an invitation, paying for a plan or replying to an invitation, you agree to these terms. Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data.

Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer under Irish and EU law.

2. Words we use

• Host: the person who creates an invitation, usually a parent or guardian.
• Guest: anyone who opens an invitation and replies to it.
• Party: one invitation, with its replies and gift list.
• Plan: the one-off payment that covers one party (see section 5).
• Host link: the private link that lets the host manage a party without signing in.

3. Who can use Envite

• Hosts must be 18 or over. Envite is designed for parents and guardians organising a party for a child.
• Replies should be sent by a parent, guardian or other adult responsible for the children attending. Envite is not intended to be used directly by children.
• Envite is for personal, non-commercial use. If you'd like to use it for a business, such as a play centre, please contact us first.

4. Signing in and your host link

• There are no passwords. Hosts sign in with a one-time link or code sent by email. Each link and code works once and expires.
• When you create a party you also get a private host link. Anyone who has it can see and manage that party, so treat it like a key: don't post it publicly, and only share it with someone you trust to co-host.
• You're responsible for keeping access to your email account and your host link safe. If you think someone else has your host link, contact us and we'll help.

5. Plans and prices

Each party needs one plan. A plan is a one-off payment for that party. There are no subscriptions and nothing renews automatically.

• Every plan includes all features: the themed invitation, replies, anonymous allergy totals, the gift list or fiver party, and edits at any time.
• You can share your link with as many people as you like. Your plan covers the first children who say yes, plus 1 extra on us. They see the full invitation, including the gift list, and you see all their details.
• Anyone who replies after that can still see the party details and reply, but the gift list is hidden for them and their replies stay locked on your host page until you upgrade. When you upgrade, you only pay the difference between the two plans.
• Coupon codes: a valid coupon code makes one party free, whatever its size. Each code works once, has no cash value and can't be exchanged or refunded.
• Prices are in euro and are the total you pay. We'll always show the price before you pay. If we change our prices, the new prices only apply to parties paid for after the change.

6. Payment

• Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
• Your plan is activated as soon as your payment is confirmed, and you'll receive a confirmation by email.
• If a payment fails or is reversed, we may pause the extra features of that plan until it's paid.

7. Cancellation and refunds

Envite is a digital service that starts straight away: as soon as your plan is active, your invitation is live and ready to share.

• Under EU and Irish consumer law, you'd normally have 14 days to change your mind about an online purchase. When you pay, we ask you to confirm that you want your invitation to go live immediately and that you understand you then lose this right to cancel. We'll repeat this in your confirmation email.
• Because of this, we don't offer refunds once a plan is active, including if you delete the party, the party is cancelled or fewer children come than expected.
• This doesn't affect your legal rights if the service is faulty or not as described. If something isn't working as it should, please tell us. We'll fix it, and if we can't, you're entitled to a price reduction or a refund.
• If you're charged twice or charged by mistake, contact us and we'll refund the extra charge.

8. If you're a host

• Make sure the party details you publish are accurate, and update them if anything changes. Everyone sees edits through the same link.
• Only send your invitation to people who would expect to receive it, such as the parents of your child's friends or class.
• Your invitation is visible to anyone who has the link. Only include what guests need to know, such as the place and time. Please don't add sensitive information, such as medical details, in the message or other text fields.
• The replies you receive are for organising your party. Please don't use guests' details for anything else, and don't share them further.
• You can delete your party at any time from your host page. This permanently deletes the invitation, all replies and the gift list.

9. If you're a guest

• Replying is free and you don't need an account. Your reply is shared only with the host of that party.
• Please only enter information you're happy for the host to see, and don't enter other people's details without their permission.
• You can change your reply at any time from the same device, until the party date.
• If you reserve a gift, other guests only see that it's taken. Only the host sees who reserved it.

10. Allergies and safety

• Guests can tick foods to avoid from a short list. These are stored only as anonymous totals (for example "Dairy: 2 families") that are never linked to a name, a reply or a child, not even in our database. The host sees the totals only. They're deleted the day after the party. See our Privacy Policy.
• Allergy totals are there to help the host plan. They're not a substitute for talking to each other. If a child has an allergy or a medical need, please speak to the host directly, especially for anything serious.
• The host is responsible for the food and activities at their party. Envite doesn't check the information guests give, and isn't responsible for decisions made using it.

11. Gift lists and fiver parties

• Envite helps guests avoid bringing the same gift. We don't sell gifts or handle any money between guests and hosts.
• Gift list items can link to other websites. Those shops are run by other companies, and we're not responsible for their products, prices or terms.
• For a fiver party, any contribution is arranged directly between guests and the host, outside Envite.

12. Fair use

Please use Envite kindly and lawfully. You must not:

• publish anything illegal, offensive, threatening, misleading, or that infringes someone else's rights;
• use Envite to send spam, advertising or invitations to people who wouldn't expect them;
• pretend to be someone else, or enter replies on someone else's behalf without their permission;
• try to get around our security or bot protection, access data that isn't yours, overload the service, or use bots or scripts to create parties, replies or gift reservations;
• copy, resell or reuse the service, its design or its artwork.

Found a security problem? Please tell us at contact@envite.ie, and don't test it on other people's parties.

13. Your content and ours

• Yours: you keep ownership of what you add, such as your party details, message and gift list. You give us permission to store it and show it to people who have your link, only so that we can run your invitation.
• Ours: the Envite name, logo, mascot, illustrations, designs and software belong to Envite and are protected by copyright. You can use them as part of your invitation, but not separately. Fonts and open-source software are used under their own licences; see our Credits.

14. How long parties are kept

• Anonymous allergy totals are deleted automatically the day after the party.
• Each party, with all its replies and gift reservations, is deleted automatically 7 days after the party date (or 60 days after it was created if no date was set). This can't be undone, so please save anything you'd like to keep before then.
• Payment records are kept for 6 years, as Irish tax law requires. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

15. Availability and changes to the service

• We work hard to keep Envite running smoothly, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. Sometimes we may need to pause it briefly for maintenance or security reasons.
• We may improve or change features over time. We won't take away the main features of a plan you've paid for while your party is active.
• If we ever close Envite, we'll give at least 30 days' notice by email or on the website, and refund plans for parties that haven't happened yet.

16. Suspending or removing parties

We may hide or remove a party, or block access to Envite, if it breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or if the law requires us to. Where it's appropriate, we'll tell the host why first. If we remove a party that didn't break these terms, we'll refund its plan.

17. Our responsibility to you

• We're responsible for providing Envite with reasonable care and skill, as described on our website.
• Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit.
• Otherwise, we're not responsible for losses that weren't foreseeable, for problems caused by things outside our reasonable control (such as an internet outage), or for anything guests or hosts do at or around a party.
• Where we are responsible, our total liability for a party is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for that party or €50.

18. Other services we rely on

Envite uses trusted providers to run: Cloudflare (website and bot protection), Supabase (database and sign-in), Resend (email) and Stripe (payments). Our Privacy Policy explains what each one does with personal data.

19. Complaints and the law that applies

• If you're unhappy with anything, please contact us first at contact@envite.ie. We aim to reply within 5 working days and will try to put things right.
• You can find independent information about your consumer rights from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC).
• These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the Irish courts can deal with any dispute. If you live in another EU country, you also keep the protection of the consumer laws of that country and can bring a claim there.

20. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add a feature or the law changes. We'll change the "last updated" date above, and tell hosts by email about any important change. The terms that apply to a party are the ones in place when you paid for it.
