Digital invitation: gala dinner at Valencia aquarium

It's 19:40 on a Thursday. The gala dinner at the Valencia aquarium is three weeks away and you still don't know who is coming. You sent a PDF poster, two guests asked what to wear, and someone replied 'is it 8 or 8.30?' in a group chat of forty people. A digital invitation settles that in one evening: it is a web page you build in the browser and send today from the catalogue, as a link, a QR code or a message. Guests open it on their phone and reply without installing anything.

Nothing gets printed and nothing goes in the post. You pick a design, test the cover for free, and when you buy it — 29.99 EUR, one payment, no subscription — every scene unlocks. The gala lives behind one link, and that link can still change after you have sent it.

What a digital invitation changes for a gala dinner at the Valencia aquarium

The evening starts on the cover. Your guest taps the link and sees the event name, the date and the venue before reading a single line of detail. The dress code is written once, in one field, so no one is working from a rumour heard in the corridor. The scenes inside the invitation — Long Dinner, Last Dance — read like a walk-through of the night, not a leaflet with everything squeezed onto one side.

• The exact room, not just 'the aquarium': the hall or the terrace beside the tank, typed with the character counter visible so the line never overflows.
• One short dress-code line — 'Black tie', 'Formal' or 'Cocktail' — written once so every guest reads the same words.
• One clear question in the RSVP, plus the reply deadline written into the invitation text.
• A portrait shot of the tank or the top table for the cover, and up to five more for the decorative scenes.

Blue light from the tank: use your own photos

If the table sits two metres from the glass, the room is already blue. That is the reason to use a photographic cover of your own and keep the type quiet, so the image can breathe. You can upload up to six photos, cover and decorative, and they frame themselves: no hand-cropping a phone shot into a rectangle.

You choose which photo is the cover, and you can swap any of them after publishing. The link stays the same, so nobody has to keep track of a second version.

Confirmations arrive as a list, not forty messages

Replies land inside the invitation itself, in one ordered list, so you are not chasing answers in group chats or rebuilding them in a spreadsheet. The confirmation questions are yours to set: you decide what gets asked and in what order for this dinner. If some guests are travelling in, the invitation content can be set per language — the site runs in Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German.

Nothing gets reprinted. Change the time in the editor and the same link shows every guest the new version.

Move the time, the place or the map after you send

If the cocktail shifts from 8:30 to 9:00 because the room build runs late, you fix it in the editor: no reprint, no 'important notice' pinned at the top of the chat. Same for the venue name, the map and that one line about the dress code. Guests who open the link the night before see the version you published today, not the first draft. If you are organising a gala dinner at a Valencia aquarium, the first impression is not the tank — it is the link you send that afternoon. Choose a design, test it free and publish your digital invitation today: time, dress code and confirmations on one page.
