Cost of a Digital Invitation for a Christening in Madrid

It's a Tuesday evening in a flat in Chamberí. The christening is set for 18 October, the parish is booked for noon, and there are 34 names in a notebook with three question marks next to them. Before the menu, before the cake, one number needs settling: the cost of a digital invitation for a christening in Madrid. You can pick a design from the collection, personalise it and send it out today.

Paper is never one line in the budget. It's cards, envelopes, stamps, a reprint when the restaurant moves lunch to two o'clock, and petrol for the ones you end up handing over in person. A digital invitation stays at 29,99 EUR, paid once, and the link does the delivering.

The cost of a digital invitation for a christening in Madrid: three things move the number

Three things decide the figure, and only one of them is the invitation itself: how many households you're inviting, how much of the invitation you actually fill, and how much paper you keep running alongside it.

• Guests. Vermouth near the parish for 30 people isn't the same as lunch for 120 at a finca in the sierra. With paper you print one card per household. With a link you send it once.
• Design. A card with a name, a time and a place is not the same as an invitation with the baby's photo, soft music and six linked scenes.
• Paper and post. Envelopes, stamps and a reprint after a last-minute change of time are the extras that never make the first budget.
• Chasing replies. Going through WhatsApp one by one doesn't appear on any invoice, but it costs you a whole Sunday.

From 30 to 120 guests: why digital invitations for a christening stay at one price

With 40 guests, paper still behaves. Forty cards, forty envelopes and forty stamps can be sorted on a Sunday afternoon. It's not free, but it fits. With 120, the printing and the delivering grow with every name you add, and that's before anyone changes their mind.

Then fifteen people appear that you hadn't counted: cousins, a neighbour, someone who asks if they can bring their mother. Nothing gets reprinted. You share the same link again and it still shows the right time and the right restaurant.

Change the time, the place or the map after sending and nobody has to be told twice: the link they already have shows the new version.

What's inside a 29,99 EUR digital invitation

One page of your own for the christening: linked scenes such as Umbral de cal, Memoria del patio or Cena larga, filled in with your heading, the baby's name, the date, your phrase and the place. Up to six of your own photos, music and the confirmation questions you set yourself. Guests open the link in the phone browser and reply without installing anything. Test the design for free by editing only the cover; once you buy, change the time or the restaurant whenever you need and the link stays exactly the same.

• The price is paid once. No subscription, and nothing added for the guests you didn't count on.
• Guests reply from their phone, in the browser, with no app to install.
• You can change the time, the place or the map after sending, without touching the link.
• Your own photos, up to six, plus music and the confirmation questions you decide on.
• You can try the design free before paying, editing the cover with your real names and date.

The confirmations arrive in an ordered list inside the invitation, so you can close the number with the restaurant without scrolling through eighty conversations. And if the grandparents want paper, nothing stops you: link for everyone, a handful of printed copies for whoever will keep them. Pick a design, try it free and publish your digital invitation for 29,99 EUR, paid once.
