Sunday morning in Gràcia and the printed christening invitations are already sealed. Then the mass moves from 12:00 to 12:30. Sixty phone calls, and sixty new cards for whoever didn't pick up. If you're organising a christening in Barcelona, a digital invitation saves you that afternoon: you change the time in the browser and the same link shows the new version.

No print run, no minimum order, no courier. Pick a design from the collection, type the names, the date and the church, and share it as a link or a QR code. Guests open it in their phone browser with nothing to install, and you can have the whole thing ready today.

Where to order a digital invitation for a christening in Barcelona

In the city you basically have three routes, and they behave very differently the moment something changes.

  • A print shop near you — in Gràcia or Sant Andreu, say. You ask for a quote, they give you a price per unit and a minimum number of copies, the job takes two or three weeks, and any change means paying to reprint.
  • A freelance designer builds you a nice PDF. The file arrives by email, but on a phone it reads like a document, not a page that adapts to the screen.
  • A digital invitation platform. You choose the design, fill in the details and share one link or a QR code. Send The Joy costs 29.99 EUR per invitation, one payment, no subscription.
  • A mix of both. A link for everyone, plus a few printed copies for the people who will keep them.

How much does a digital invitation for a christening cost?

Before you pay, ask four things. What each unit costs and how many you have to order as a minimum — forty christening invitations is not the same job as twenty-five. Whether shipping is included and how many days it takes, which matters if your family is split between Barcelona and Girona. What happens if the ceremony time or the restaurant changes after everything has gone out. And when the restaurant needs final numbers, because that date, not the printer's, is your real deadline.

Send The Joy answers part of that with a plain number: 29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once. You can try it before you pay — in trial mode you edit the cover at no cost, and buying it unlocks every scene of the invitation.

A printed card is a decision you can't take back. A digital invitation is a decision you can edit on Tuesday.

Digital invitations vs paper invitations when the time changes

Move the time from 12:00 to 12:30 once sixty cards are out, and paper turns into a project: calls one by one and new envelopes for anyone who missed it. In a digital invitation you edit the hour, the map or the dress code, and guests see the updated version without you resending anything. Text is edited field by field — heading, names, date, phrase, place — with a character counter, so "Martina's christening" doesn't run over the line with her name.

The RSVP list sits inside the invitation

Nobody installs an app to answer. Guests confirm in the browser, including the aunt who never finds the buttons, and the replies land in an ordered list inside the invitation, so you know your numbers before you close the menu with the restaurant. You decide which questions the confirmation form asks. Look at how yours would read with the real names and the real church before ordering anything: a digital invitation from Send The Joy is free to try, costs 29.99 EUR as a one-off payment and is shared with a link or a QR code.
