Digital invitation price for a personalised christening cake

The cake is ordered and the design is a secret you have promised not to describe to anyone. Now you have to get forty people to the same church at eleven on a Sunday. A digital invitation handles that part without spoiling anything: you choose a design from the catalogue, fill in the fields and send the link the same afternoon. And the digital invitation price for a christening with a personalised cake is the same as for any other celebration: 29,99 EUR, paid once.

What gets announced is that there will be cake, not what it will look like. Here is what the invitation includes, what it leaves out, and how to keep the cake, the party and the link in three separate lines of the budget.

How much does a digital invitation for a christening cost?

One price: 29,99 EUR per invitation, paid once. No monthly fee to add to the christening budget, and no printing quote to sit and wait for. The cake is quoted separately by whoever bakes it, so keep those two conversations apart. For the 29,99 EUR you get a web page for the event, with linked scenes, your own photos and an RSVP that arrives as a list instead of forty replies on WhatsApp.

• Try the cover for free before paying: edit it in the browser, check how the names and the date sit, then decide.
• Buying unlocks every scene of the invitation, not only the first one you see.
• Pick which photo is the cover, and swap any photo afterwards without rebuilding the page.
• Confirmations come into a list inside the invitation, and you write the questions yourself.

Announce the cake, don't slice it open

On the cover, one line is enough: there will be a personalised cake. The design, the colours and the figure stay with you and the cake maker until the day. If you want to drop a hint, use one of the six photos for a detail shot — a piping bag on the worktop, a bit of fondant — and mark a different photo as the cover if you would rather keep the cake off the screen altogether.

If the cake is going to carry the baby's name, you do not have to repeat it in every text. The names field already does that job. And if the design changes two weeks out, you edit the invitation: the link is the same one you sent, and nobody needs telling twice.

The cake turns up on the day. The invitation turns up today, and it can promise cake without showing a crumb.

What your christening invitation must include

Keep each piece of information in its own field: the small label at the top, the names, the date, the phrase and the place. Change the time of the celebration and you edit one field; the link does not change. Music and up to six of your own photos are part of the page, and the RSVP sits inside the invitation, so you are not chasing answers by message. Handy when the cake is not finished on the day you send it: you photograph it later and swap the picture.

Digital invitations, the cake and the party: three budget lines

Write the budget in three lines: cake, celebration, invitation. The third is fixed at 29,99 EUR and does not move when you personalise the scenes. If you are torn between paper and a link, the sensible arrangement is a link for everyone plus a handful of printed copies for the people who will keep one. Ask the cake maker for a closed quote before you fix the date; that number does not depend on your invitation, and your invitation does not depend on it.

If the cake is the surprise, let the invitation carry the announcement. Pick a design, try the cover for free and publish the link once the time and the place are settled. It costs 29,99 EUR, you pay once, and your guests open it on their phone without installing anything.
