Digital invitation: 40th wedding anniversary price

You have the 1985 photo on the kitchen table — the one taken at the restaurant that isn't there any more — and a list of 62 names. The 40th wedding anniversary is six weeks away and you still have to say the time, the place, and get an answer back that isn't a thumbs-up emoji. A digital invitation does all three. Pick a design from the catalogue, type the details into the fields and send the link today. Here's what the 40th wedding anniversary digital invitation price really covers.

One payment, one page, no envelopes to count. Below is what comes inside the 29.99 EUR, what you still decide yourself, and the two moments when paper is the better tool.

What a digital invitation for a 40th wedding anniversary includes at 29.99 EUR

It's a web page of your own with linked scenes — an opening, a memory scene, the dinner — that you share as a link, a QR code or a message. Not a PDF that slides to the bottom of someone's camera roll and never gets opened again.

• One payment of 29.99 EUR per invitation. No monthly fee and no renewal at twelve months, so the anniversary budget stays put while replies come in.
• Up to 6 of your own photos: the 1985 one as the cover, one of the two rings on the dinner scene. They frame themselves, and you can swap any of them later.
• Music and the confirmation form inside the same price. Nothing to unlock once you've paid.
• Your guest opens the link in the browser on their phone. No app to install, at 78 or at 28.

How much does a 40th wedding anniversary digital invitation cost?

29.99 EUR, paid once. That is the price of the invitation you publish, with no add-on modules to switch on afterwards: photos, music and the RSVP form are part of the same page.

Two checks before you pay anywhere. Does the price stay the same after the first year? Here there is no renewal to remember. And if a video matters to the toast, ask whether it's included or a separate line in your budget — better to know that now than after you've typed your card details. You can also test the design for free first: in test mode you edit the cover at no cost, and buying is what opens the rest of the scenes.

You're not paying for paper and postage. You pay once for a page you can still change the night before.

Forty years update with one click, not a new envelope

If the restaurant moves dinner from 21:00 to 20:30, you edit the field and the link stays exactly the same. Nobody re-sends anything, nobody rings round. Swap the cover for the photo from the 1985 dance and guests see the new version the next time they open the link. Text goes in field by field — label, names, date, phrase, place — with a character counter, so the line for the toast doesn't get cut on a phone screen. Replies land in one ordered list inside the invitation, and you set the questions yourself: whether they're staying for Sunday lunch, for example, without calling a single person.

Digital invitations or paper envelopes for a ruby wedding?

Usually both, in the right proportions: a link for everyone and a handful of printed copies for the people who'll keep one in the album — not 80 stamped envelopes. The page switches language too, so the cousins in Munich read it in German while your side reads it in English. What it doesn't do: print, post, or work without a phone, tablet or computer with a connection. If one guest has none of those, a printed copy covers that case. Choose a design, test the cover for free and publish when the toast line reads the way you want it. That's an afternoon's work, not a month of evenings.
