Digital Invitation Price for a Baptism with a Meal

The restaurant wants the final headcount by Thursday. Your phone holds a pile of 'we'll see', a cousin who might bring someone, and no clear number. A digital invitation won't pick your guests for you, but it keeps every reply in one place. And the real price of a digital baptism invitation with a meal is decided by the plates, not by the design.

So start with the per-head quote, then decide how you collect confirmations. You can choose a design, test it free and send the invitation this afternoon from the catalogue.

The per-head menu is the line that weighs most

Say the restaurant quotes €45 a head for adults. Twenty places is €900 before a single reply has landed. Every seat you hold 'just in case' is paid like a guest who actually eats, so a table that grows from 20 to 26 costs far more than the invitation ever will. The children's menu, the aperitif and the cake are usually negotiated on top, and the number is locked on the day you hand over the list.

• The final number of adults and children at the table, agreed with the restaurant.
• The price per head and what it includes — aperitif, children's menu, cake — written into the quote.
• The deadline for sending the final list of diners.
• One person who collects and checks the confirmations, not three cousins at once.

The price of a digital baptism invitation with a meal: what changes and what doesn't

Send The Joy charges €29.99 per invitation, paid once, with no subscription. The same price whether you send it to 30 people or 90. Guests open a link or scan a QR code from a WhatsApp message and confirm on their phone in the browser, without installing an app.

You can test the design before paying: in trial mode you edit the cover for free, and buying unlocks the rest of the scenes. After you publish, the link stays the same. If lunch moves from 1pm to 2pm, or the venue changes, you edit the invitation and anyone who opens the link later sees the updated version. No reprint, no second round of envelopes.

You pay for the invitation once. The empty chair gets paid for again every time the number is wrong.

Digital invitations that ask for seats, not a plain yes

Swap 'are you coming?' for 'how many of you?'. The confirmation form is configurable, so you ask exactly what you need, and the answers arrive in one ordered list inside the invitation instead of twenty separate chats. With the real number in front of you, you call the restaurant before their deadline and adjust the booking once.

When the link isn't enough: add a few printed copies

If a grandparent doesn't use a phone, a link won't help. Print that one invitation yourself or call them and read the details out loud. The sensible mix is a link for everyone and a handful of printed copies for the people who will keep them. Guests do need a phone, tablet or computer with a connection — say it plainly to anyone who might not have one.

Before you order anything, get the per-head price in writing and count the places you actually need. Then choose a design you like and publish an invitation that gathers the numbers for you: €29.99, paid once, with the link and the replies sorted from the first day.
