Digital invitation for a birthday in Barcelona: the breakdown

It's Friday night and the group chat for Marta's 40th has three posters in it. One says 18:00, another says 19:30, and the third still has the old address. Marta has answered the same question six times. A digital invitation for a birthday in Barcelona solves that with one page and one link: what your guests open is always the version you last published. You can build it and send it today from the catalogue, with no designer and no print run.

That's the whole point, so it's worth being blunt. The price of a birthday invitation in Barcelona isn't set by how pretty the design is. It's set by what happens when the plan changes. Which is why, before you say yes to anyone, you ask for the breakdown in writing.

Digital invitation for a birthday in Barcelona: ask for the breakdown

Get three things separated on paper: the design, the platform the invitation lives on, and the edits afterwards. A €90 quote that says "design included" and "changes extra" can reach €150 before anyone has touched the map of the venue. Ask about these four before you pay.

• Rounds of edits: moving the cake from 18:00 to 19:30 shouldn't cost the same as rebuilding the cover with a different photo.
• Whether the link expires: if it stops opening two weeks before the party, whoever replied late never sees the exact address.
• What the guest needs: a browser, or an app. If it's an app, part of the family won't install it.
• How you pay: once per invitation, or a fee that renews. Different products, different maths.

Three things sold as birthday invitations in Barcelona

Most quotes you get in the city are one of these three, and they are not the same product. The JPG or PDF on WhatsApp is free or close to it. It looks fine in the group until the time changes, then you resend the image and three versions live side by side with two different times, because nobody deletes the old one. The printed card with delivery looks good in the hand, but every corrected address means another print run and another courier.

The third is a digital invitation with its own page: it opens from a link or a QR, the guest installs nothing, and everyone sees what you have published at that moment. That's what we sell. Cover, date, place, photos, RSVP, edited in the browser from your phone, sitting on the sofa.

Ask what happens when the time changes. That answer is the price.

How much does a digital invitation cost, and what changes after you send it

€29.99, paid once per invitation, no subscription. In trial mode you edit the cover for free and see the name and the real date in place before deciding anything. Buying unlocks every scene, the music, up to six of your own photos and the RSVP questions. Texts go field by field — headline, name, date, line, place — with a character counter and a preview that updates as you type, so a "Saturday 14" doesn't slip in when it was Friday 13. If the party moves from a flat in Gràcia to a terrace in Sant Antoni, you change the place and the map from the browser. The link stays the same and whoever already had it sees the new address.

Digital invitations with an RSVP list you actually read

Confirmations land inside the invitation, in one ordered list, so you know how many of you there are without counting "I'm in" between memes. You set the questions on the confirmation form yourself, so each guest answers what you actually need to know instead of you chasing replies one by one. The site runs in seven languages and the invitation content can be set per language, which helps if some of the guests don't read Spanish — or if you'd rather send the whole thing in Catalan.

One honest note before you buy: this is digital, it doesn't print or post anything. If someone wants paper, the sensible move is a link for everyone plus a few printed copies for whoever will keep one. Now go and do the useful part: start your invitation in trial mode, write the real name and the real date, and see how it looks. When the venue, the time and the RSVP questions are settled, unlock it all with a single payment of €29.99.
