Digital invitation cost for a 50-guest anniversary

Fifty names on a list. A restaurant that wants final numbers by Thursday. And a printed card that still says 9pm, when you moved dinner to 8.30pm a week ago. That's usually the moment people start looking at a digital invitation — not because they love technology, but because the paper is already out of date.

You can sort that today. Pick a design in the catalogue, put the anniversary photo on the cover and send one link to everyone on the list before the evening's over. Here's what a digital invitation for a 50-guest anniversary costs, and what you decide before you pay.

How much does a digital anniversary invitation cost for 50 guests?

€29.99. One payment per invitation, whether the link goes to 12 people or all 50. No per-head fee, no monthly subscription that quietly renews in March. What you're buying is a web page for your event — not a PDF, not an image — that opens in the browser on any phone with nothing to install.

• The chained scenes of the celebration, from the threshold to the last dance, each one edited with your own texts.
• Up to 6 of your own photos, cover included, framed automatically, and any of them can be swapped after the link is out.
• Music, and a confirmation form with the questions you choose.
• Separate fields for the label, names, date, sentence and place, with a character counter so a long double-barrelled surname doesn't get cut.

Fifty guests fit in a single digital invitation link

One link in the family WhatsApp group, another in the group where your work friends sort things out. That's the 50 covered — no 50 separate messages. If dinner moves from 9pm to 8.30pm, you change the time in the editor and the same link shows the new version. Nothing to resend.

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation too, in one ordered list. You see who's coming without scrolling three conversations for a yes from three weeks ago, and the list updates when someone answers late. Guests open it in whatever browser they have — an app would be one more thing to install, this is a page. If you print a handful of cards for the people who'll keep one, a QR code works as well as the message.

You pay for the invitation once. The link keeps showing the right version until the last toast.

Digital invitations vs paper for a wedding anniversary

With 50 printed cards, moving the party from the dining room to the garden means another print run and another round of envelopes. With a digital invitation the link you already sent is the updated one. And if someone in the family wants paper to keep, the sensible answer is both: the link for all 50, a few printed copies for the people who'll put it in a drawer.

Four things to check before you pay for a digital invitation

• That you can write the label, names, date, sentence and place in separate fields.
• How the cover photo sits in its frame — in test mode you already see it.
• That you have your 6 photos ready, cover plus decorative, and know which one opens the invitation.
• That the link stays the same when you edit the time or the map after sending it.

With the 50 guests already decided, €29.99 is paid once and the invitation stays live until the last toast. Start with the cover, it costs nothing to try, and publish when the photo you've picked looks the way you want it.
