Doljanchi invitation designs

Saekdong stripes, jogakbo patchwork, a minhwa tiger and magpie, a moon jar, the gold dol ring, and modern designs for a baby boy or baby girl.

Made for a dol in the US

English and Korean in one link: Grandparents read it in Korean, friends and daycare parents in English. One tap switches the language, and the page is in Chinese too.
A doljabi guests can play: The Doljabi design lets guests tap the thread, brush or coins and see what each one foretells for your baby, a nice way to explain the tradition before the party.
A growing photo gallery: Add newborn, 100-day and first-year photos so the invitation becomes a small album, with a counter showing how many days old your baby is.
RSVPs and directions: Restaurants and banquet halls need a headcount. RSVPs are collected for you, and the address opens in Google Maps or Apple Maps in one tap.

How to send a doljanchi invitation in the US

When to send it

A dol is usually held on a weekend near the first birthday, and invitations go out three to four weeks before. If the restaurant or banquet hall needs a final headcount, set your RSVP deadline one to two weeks ahead of that.

Explaining the dol to American guests

For many American friends it's their first doljanchi. A line in the English invitation like "Doljanchi, a Korean first birthday celebration" helps, and if there's a doljabi, where the baby picks an object such as thread, a brush or money to foretell their future, mention it so guests can look forward to it.

What to include

Your baby's name in English and Korean, the date and time, the venue name and address, parking, and an RSVP deadline. If you'd like family in hanbok or there's a dress code, add it to your message.

How to share it

Send your link by text, KakaoTalk, email or Instagram. Pasted into a chat, it shows up as a card with your baby's name and the date, and relatives in Korea can open it just the same.
