What each WishHappyBday celebration includes

WishHappyBday has three celebration types. Mike is the free Standard celebration, Matt is the Premium version of that celebration, and Elena is a Birthday Story. Open the matching example before you create one. Customer celebrations stay live for 24 hours after opening. The three fictional showcase pages are permanent demo exceptions.

Free Standard celebration

The free Standard celebration is a birthday page with a template, included music, three photos, and a message for each photo. Guests can open the link without an account and can leave a wish. Mike is the public example of this type, at the mike route.

Mike does not ask anyone to unwrap a gift journey, and it does not play Birthday Story chapters. It is the right example when you want a straightforward birthday page. Creating it requires a free account. Viewing it does not.

Open Mike's free Standard celebration.

Premium Standard celebration

Premium keeps the Standard page and adds a tap-through gift journey. Matt is the public example, at the matt route. After the music choice, Matt shows an unwrap control that the free Mike example does not show.

On a customer Premium Standard celebration, the logged-in creator can download an entitled MP4 during the live window. Guests can watch the live page, but customer downloads stay with the owner. Matt is a public showcase exception that lets visitors try the MP4 download. The price is shown in the builder before payment. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription.

Open Matt's Premium celebration.

Birthday Story

A Birthday Story is a chapter-by-chapter surprise rather than the three-photo Standard page. Elena is the public example, at the elena route. Elena does not use the Standard unwrap control.

The story builder can include these parts:

  • The birthday person's name and personal link
  • An opening surprise with candles, balloons, cake, and a letter
  • Reasons they are special
  • Photo memories
  • An optional voice message
  • A secret scratch-card message
  • An optional quiz

Publishing a Birthday Story is a one-time payment, and the current price appears before you pay. The payment includes creator-only video and PDF downloads. Elena's public example lets visitors try those showcase downloads. On a story you create, those files are for you, the creator, not for everyone who has the link.

Open Elena's Birthday Story.

How long each celebration stays open

All three types follow the same clock. You can leave the opening time blank, and the 24 hours begin when you publish. Or you can set a trigger time, and the celebration waits until that moment.

Check the opening time carefully. The builder derives it from the creator's country and, in countries with multiple zones, uses a matching browser zone where available. The customer celebration expires 24 hours after opening. You cannot change the opening time after publishing, and pausing does not extend expiry.

Mike, Matt and Elena are fictional showcase pages. They remain available as demo exceptions, and their public export access should not be used to infer customer permissions.

Which public example to open

Open Mike's free Standard celebration when you want the free photo-and-message page.

Open Matt's Premium celebration when you want to see the Premium gift journey.

Open Elena's Birthday Story when you want the full Birthday Story.

Then create the same type from the WishHappyBday homepage. Use the gallery if you want to compare the three examples side by side before you choose.

Which birthday format should I choose?

Choose Standard for a free three-photo page with messages and music. Choose Premium Standard if you want its gift journey and entitled creator MP4. Choose Birthday Story if you want a chapter-based surprise with its paid publication and creator MP4/PDF. You can preview Story before paying; do not close the tab with unfinished work, because a new Story is kept in that tab until checkout.

Use the free Standard builder or Birthday Story builder for your preferred format. For a simple start, follow the birthday website guide.
