What a Digital Invitation for a Company Dinner Costs

Your finance lead asks what the dinner costs per head. Someone else asks whether the invitation is part of that number. Worth answering before you design anything. A digital invitation for a company dinner is its own line of the budget, and the price of a company dinner invitation comes down to three things: who pays, how many people are on the list, and how late you are still confirming. You can pick a design from the catalogue and send it today.

Below: the actual figure, what it covers, and the one date that decides whether the restaurant gets the right number.

What a digital invitation for a company dinner costs: 29.99 EUR, once

29.99 EUR, paid once, for one invitation. No monthly fee, no price that climbs with every colleague who opens the link. Twelve people in marketing or 180 on the plant floor: same link, same price. There is no paper, no envelopes and no courier in that figure. If the committee wants a printed copy for the office noticeboard, that copy is paid separately and isn't part of the invitation.

• 29.99 EUR, one payment. No subscription, no fee per guest.
• Check what unlocks before you compare: all the scenes, your own photos and the RSVP form, not a one-sided PDF.
• No paper, envelopes or postage included. A printed copy for the noticeboard is a separate cost.
• One invitation per site. Madrid with its restaurant and its date, Barcelona with another. Different links, not one generic page nobody feels is theirs.

Who pays for the dinner and who pays the invitation

Settle the budget line before you open the editor. If the company pays, put the 29.99 EUR next to the room and the menu so finance approves it in one email. If the organiser fronts the money, ask for the reimbursement in writing that same day, not in January.

Don't pass the cost on to guests. You don't split 29.99 EUR across 180 people: you send the same link to all of them and the price doesn't move.

Decide who pays the 29.99 EUR and which day confirmations close. Everything else is design.

How to compare the best digital invitations for a company dinner

Ask to test before you pay. In trial mode you edit the cover for free, and only the purchase unlocks every scene. Then check three things. The link has to stay the same when you edit it. The answers have to land inside the invitation, in an ordered list, not in a mailbox. And the RSVP questions have to be yours to set: a plus-one, a preferred sitting, whatever the restaurant needs to know. If the team is international, ask about languages too. The site runs in seven and the invitation content can be set per language.

The confirmation date weighs more than the price

Put the deadline inside the invitation, not in a message that scrolls away. 'Confirm by Friday 14 at 12:00' should sit on the same page as the restaurant map, so nobody has to hunt for it. Answers arrive in one ordered list within the invitation, and the form questions are yours to configure. What the tool won't do is chase the colleague who hasn't replied. That follow-up is still on you.

The rest holds when the plan changes. The restaurant moves you to another room, or the time goes from 21:00 to 20:30: you edit the scene and the link stays the same. The colleague who joined in March opens the December email and sees the updated version, with the right map and the right dress code. Nobody installs anything either. They open the link on their phone and answer between two meetings.

Before you send the notice, write down two things: who pays the 29.99 EUR and until which day people confirm. With a digital invitation from Send The Joy the link is edited in place and the answers arrive inside it, so the dinner closes on one screen instead of fifty messages.
