On a Sunday morning, the kitchen table holds a folded christening gown, a phone and two coffee cups. Someone asks whether the baptism is at twelve or half past, and nobody is sure. A Digital invitation for christening and first communion settles that: you can create it and send it today from the collection, with both times, the map and the RSVPs on one link.

It is not a PDF stuck in a group chat. Digital invitations are pages your guests open in a browser, no app needed. If lunch moves to 14:30, you edit and publish; the same link shows the new time and nobody has to resend a thing.

A Digital invitation for christening and first communion: the order of the hours

Christening and first communion invitations often fail on one point: they put the party before the times. Write the day in clock order, not by importance. The first time on the page should be the time people need to arrive. Put each address directly under its time, and keep the line short enough to read on a phone.

  • 12:00 christening at the parish, then 14:00 lunch and first communion at the restaurant, each with its address underneath.
  • If the drive from the church to the restaurant takes 20 minutes, say so in one line. That is the detail that stops half the family arriving at the wrong ceremony.
  • Explain what happens between the two: if there is an hour to fill, a guest coming from out of town needs it to plan the journey and a change of clothes.
  • Use the child's name as the family says it — Lucia, not Lucia Garcia Perez — before any surname.

What the grandmother looks at first: time, place and what to wear

The grandmother opens the link and looks for three things: the child's name, the time and the place. She will not scroll through eight photos to find the address. Put the name at the top, without the full surname if it only makes the line longer. A dress code written in concrete words saves a phone call: 'Guayabera and long dress' tells people more than 'elegant'.

Put the venue name, street address and a map in the same block, so nobody copies a street by hand or opens another tab to find the restaurant. For a christening, the gown and the lunch do not need two separate links; the same page can carry both. The RSVP list sits inside the invitation, with the questions you set, so replies do not live in three different WhatsApp threads.

Two ceremonies do not need two invitations. They need one link with the right time under each name.

How much does a Digital invitation cost, and what to leave out

A Digital invitation costs €29.99, paid once, with no subscription. You can try the cover free before you buy; the full invitation unlocks when you pay. Leave out the line about it being an honour to invite you, three fonts and the hand-drawn plan nobody can read. If you want paper, print half a dozen copies yourself for grandparents and the album, and send the link or QR to everyone else. Change the restaurant, the time or the dress code after sending and the same link shows the new version. Pick a design, test the cover, and publish once both hours are confirmed.
