Digital invitation for a christening: ceremony and lunch cost

The christening is on a Saturday in June. The restaurant wants final numbers by Friday. And you have seventy names on a notepad with two questions next to each: church, lunch, or both. That's where the budget actually gets decided — in the count, not in the design. A digital invitation puts the ceremony time, the restaurant address and the confirmation form on one page, so people answer once and you stop chasing. You can pick a design from the catalogue and send it today.

The price is 29.99 EUR, paid once. No subscription, no per-unit cost. Forty guests or ninety, the link costs the same — and that is the whole difference against a printed run, where every extra name means another card, another envelope and another stamp.

How much do digital invitations for a christening cost with ceremony and lunch

Two things drive the money and they don't behave the same way. The church fixes the hour; the restaurant fixes the seats. Before you look at formats, close the number — 40, 60 or 90 covers — because everything else follows it. On paper the cost grows one unit at a time: 60 cards, 60 envelopes and 60 stamps are three separate lines that repeat every time the date or the menu moves.

• The church sets the hour and the restaurant sets the covers: get that number closed before you choose anything else.
• On paper the bill grows with every guest, and a change of date means paying for cards, envelopes and stamps all over again.
• The cost nobody writes down: a second WhatsApp round to whoever can't find the restaurant or can't remember if they said yes to lunch.
• One link covers the whole list for 29.99 EUR, so the guest count stops being a price variable.

What the 29.99 EUR digital invitation includes

You get a web page of your own for the christening — not a PDF and not a picture dropped into a group chat. It opens in any browser, with no app to install. In the editor you fill the wording field by field: heading, names, date, a line of your own and the place, with a character counter so nothing gets cut off. Up to six of your own photos, cover and decorative ones, and you can swap any of them afterwards.

The RSVP is set up with the questions you need, and the answers arrive inside the invitation in one ordered list. You see who's coming to the ceremony, who's coming to the lunch and who's coming to both, without keeping a second spreadsheet on the side.

One link, one payment, and the guest list stops living in your messages.

Edits that would cost a second print run on paper

If the restaurant moves lunch from 14:00 to 14:30, you change the time and the link stays exactly the same. Nothing gets reprinted and no envelope goes out again. Same with the map, the wording or the dress code: guests see the updated version when they open the link. That's the part that matters in the last week, when things move and you'd rather not call anyone.

Where to cut without anyone noticing

Send the link to everyone and print a handful of copies for the grandparents or for whoever will keep it as a keepsake — the invitation itself doesn't print or post anything, so combining both is the sensible move. With a list of seventy, one link does the job and that margin can go on the children's menu or the dessert. If you have family abroad, the invitation content can be set per language: the site runs in Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German.

If the church date and the covers are settled, what's missing is the link. Choose a design, try the cover at no cost, publish, and your christening invitations are out the same day for 29.99 EUR, paid once. One thing to keep in mind: guests need a phone, a tablet or a computer with a connection.
