Digital invitation for a baby shower with an allergy field
Digital invitation with a baby shower allergy field: how to ask for allergens, cross them with the catering and hand over one clean list on the day
Send The Joy · October 11, 2026 · 3 min read

A week before the baby shower, two people type "nuts" in the group chat, three stay quiet, and on the day someone mentions lactose when the plates are already out. The caterer cooks blind. A digital invitation sorts this out without chasing anyone: you can create and send it today from the catalogue, with one line that asks for allergies before you close the menu.
The allergy is never the problem. Where the information sits is the problem. Spread across a chat, a voice note and someone's memory, it reaches the kitchen too late. One clear line in the invitation and one ordered list change what you can hand over.
The catering is decided before the cake
Menus get closed early. A caterer wants a number and a list of names, not "about thirty, we'll see" the night before. With twelve replies and two allergies you choose between a served menu and a buffet; with none, you buy more food than you need. A lactose intolerance changes a sauce, not the whole menu — but only if you know in time to say something.
- Collect allergies before the menu is signed, not the week of the party.
- Write what the kitchen has to change: "no cheese sauce" is more useful than "dairy".
- Keep one line per guest: name, allergy, adult menu or children's menu.
- Note who told you what, so nobody has to remember it at the table.
Where the allergy field goes in your digital invitation
Use the welcome scene or the closing line and say it plainly: "Allergies or intolerances: tell us before 10 May", with one contact — a name or an email address. One line, not a paragraph. A block of text gets skipped on a phone.
The character counter and the live preview in the editor stop that line from being cut just where the deadline appears. You read it on screen the way your guests will read it.

Get the allergen list before the menu, and the day of the baby shower is only about the cake.
How to create digital invitations for a baby shower with an allergy field
Pick a design from the collection, try it free and edit the cover without paying. Buying it opens the rest of the scenes: names, date, place, the allergy line and the questions on the confirmation form. Confirmations arrive inside the invitation in one ordered list, so you pass names and the final number to the caterer without digging through messages. Guests install nothing — they open the link and reply from the phone. If someone tells you about an allergy by email or in person, add them by hand to the same table: name, allergy, adult or children's menu.
Move the time, the address or the deadline and the link stays the same: guests see the updated version and you resend nothing. Give the caterer one sheet with names, allergies and notes, label the buffet trays "with nuts" and "without nuts", and keep the serving utensils apart. Then start your digital invitation on Send The Joy for 29,99 EUR, try it free and publish it once the allergy line sits where it should.
