Digital Invitation for a Christening with Two Sittings
A christening with two sittings doesn't need a group chat: a digital invitation gives each family their own time and collects the RSVPs in the same link

You have booked the restaurant for two sittings. The first group eats at 13:30, the second at 15:30, and your aunt has asked twice already which one she is in. A digital invitation settles that before she asks a third time: pick a design from the collection, edit it in your browser and send the link the same day.
The tricky part of a christening with two meal sittings is not the booking. It is the eleven messages asking what time, and someone turning up at the wrong hour because they read a screenshot a cousin forwarded back in March.
Two meal sittings at a christening: a digital invitation handles both
If the first sitting eats at 13:30 and the second at 15:30, each guest reads only their own time in the celebration scene. Nobody has to ask. The text sits in separate fields — label, names, date, phrase and place — so correcting the second sitting's time does not knock the rest of the invitation out of place. If the restaurant pushes the second sitting back to 16:00, you edit it and the link stays the same. Nothing to resend. It works as a link or a QR code, so you send it once and stop forwarding corrections.
- Both times written with the minutes: 13:30 for the first sitting, 15:30 for the second.
- A phrase field for the sitting, for example 'The first to sit down open the banquet'.
- A vertical photo of the room laid out for the meal, alongside the portrait on the cover.
- An RSVP question you set in advance: 'Which sitting are you coming to?'
Sort out who eats when before anyone reaches the hall
When your grandmother asks whether she eats with the little ones or after them, the answer is already on the invitation. It does not depend on someone replying in time.
Confirmations land in one ordered list inside the invitation itself, so you see at a glance who has answered without opening five different chats. Guests install nothing: they open the link in their phone browser and confirm from there. The RSVP questions are configurable, so if you need to know which sitting each family is coming to, you ask in the same place they confirm. And if someone would rather hold paper, print one copy for them and keep the link for everyone else.

Two sittings, two times, one link. The answer is on the invitation before anyone has to ask.
The meal scene carries both times
The scene for the meal takes a text of your own, so you can name both sittings there: first at 13:30, second at 15:30. You can upload up to 6 of your own photos — the christening portrait on the cover, a photo of the room for the meal scene — and they frame themselves. If the restaurant, the map or the dress code changes, you correct that field and guests see the new version on the same link.
Work out who eats at 13:30 and who eats at 15:30 before you send a single message, then let the invitation say it for you. You can try the design for free in test mode, and the invitation costs €29.99 as a one-time payment. With a digital invitation from Send The Joy you change times, place or map whenever you need to, and the confirmations arrive in order inside the same link.
