You're about to send out christening invitations. You have the date, the church, and a rough idea of who's coming. But you know at least three people will text you the morning of the ceremony asking for the address again.

A christening invitation with a QR code solves that. The code opens a web page with everything: the church map, the time, and a form to confirm. No app, no PDF, no reprinting.

Christening invitations with QR code: no app needed

When your guest scans the code with their phone camera, they land on your christening invitation page. It's a website, not a download. The page shows the name, date, time, church, and a map. If someone can't scan, you can send the same link by WhatsApp or email. The content stays the same.

  • Scan the QR from your screen and from a printed copy.
  • Open the link on a different phone to see how it looks.
  • Check the page loads in the browser without asking for an app.
  • Send the link to yourself and tap it from WhatsApp and email.

You set everything in the editor: the names, the date, the church, the map. You can add up to six photos, and they fit into the frames automatically. You can also add music and set the RSVP questions. Try it free before you buy.

The church isn't lost when the map is inside

In the editor, you type the address and add the map. Your guest opens the route with one tap. For relatives coming from out of town, the QR removes the last-minute 'where is it?' text.

If the ceremony and the meal are in different places, you can include the church address and then update the map if needed. The map can point to the church. If the plan changes, you can update it and the link stays the same.

The whole point is that your guests don't have to ask you anything. The invitation already answers.

Confirm without chasing anyone on WhatsApp

RSVPs arrive inside the invitation, in one list. You can set the questions: how many people are coming, their names, anything you need to know. No screenshots, no re-sending the list. You check the same page.

You can edit the RSVP questions in the editor. When someone confirms, it appears in the list. You don't have to chase anyone.

Change the time without reprinting anything

If the christening runs late or you move the lunch, edit the invitation. The link stays the same. Your guests see the updated version when they open it. You don't need to send a correction message.

You can also tweak the dress code or a sentence without touching the photos or design. The invitation is a live page, not a static card.

A digital invitation doesn't print or send paper. If grandparents want a card in hand, print a few copies with the same QR code and give them out. The link remains the live version. Ready to make yours? Choose a design, try it free, and publish your QR invitation. The map, time, and RSVPs travel in one link. Share it and let guests reply from their phones.
