Digital invitation price for a beach birthday party

It's Thursday evening. The cove is agreed on, the aunt with the good cake is in, and the group chat wants a number: what a beach birthday actually costs to invite people to. A Digital invitation is €29.99, paid once. Pick a design from the catalogue, edit the cover, publish the link — you can do it today.

A card in an envelope can't do much once it's sitting in someone's kitchen. It can't tell you who's coming, it can't move the hour when the tide does, and fixing a typo means printing it again. What follows is the arithmetic: the price, what's inside it, and what honestly isn't.

How much does a Digital invitation for a beach birthday cost?

€29.99 per invitation, paid once. No monthly fee, no renewal when the next birthday comes round. That covers the whole event page — cover, scenes, confirmation form — rather than a single image you'd have to build around. Nothing stacks up per copy either: twenty guests or sixty, the figure stays put. Every design in the collection runs on the same system, so all digital invitations are priced the same way.

• Text fields with a character counter and a live preview in Joy Studio, in the browser, with nothing to install.
• Up to six photos of your own — last year's cake, the group at the waterline — that frame themselves and can be swapped later.
• Music, plus the confirmation questions you set: who's coming to lunch, who's only there for the cake.
• One link for the lot: cover, scenes and replies, shared by message or QR code.

The tide moves the time; the link doesn't

Say the plan shifts from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm because the water's still up. You open the editor, change the hour, and everyone who opens the link sees the new time. No resend, no 'sorry, correction' message. Same for the meeting point and the map: change them after publishing and the link is still the one you already sent.

That's where paper gets expensive — reprints, a second round of envelopes, texts to the four people who never saw the first version. Here a fix is one field in the editor, and the plan on everyone's phone is already right.

One price, one link, and the last version of the plan is always the version people see.

Replies arrive in a list, not in sixty messages

Confirmations land inside the invitation itself, in a list you can read in one go, instead of hunting for 'I'm in' between photos of somebody's dog. Guests open the link in the browser on their phone — nothing to install — and answer from wherever they are, towel included. If some of them are abroad, the invitation content can be set in Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Italian, Portuguese or German.

What the €29.99 doesn't include

Straight answer: paper. Nothing is printed or posted, and there's no app of ours to download; guests need a phone, tablet or computer with a connection. If someone wants something in their hand, the sensible split is a link for everybody and a handful of printed copies for the people who keep things. Try it before you pay: in test mode you edit the cover for free, and buying unlocks every scene. If the date, hour and cove are settled, that's the whole job — pick a design, fill the fields, publish.
