Digital invitation for a garden baptism: rain plan

You have the date, the godparents, and a table plan for the garden. Then the forecast changes. A Digital invitation for a garden baptism lets you keep one link, add a rain plan and move everyone to the hall without sending a new message. You can build it today from the catalogue and send it before the first guest asks about parking. No printing, no app for guests, and no need to resend the message if the sky turns.

The trick is not to hide the Plan B in a footnote. Decide now where you will go if it rains, write the cutoff time, and put both in the invitation. Guests should not have to call you at 9 a.m. to find out if the baptism is still outside.

What a Digital invitation for a garden baptism must include

Before you choose colours or photos, choose the covered place. It can be the parish hall, a porch, or a tent in the same garden. Then set a time when you will make the call, for example 9:30 on the morning of the baptism. Write that time in the invitation so nobody has to guess.

• An alternative covered address: parish hall, porch, or a tent in the same garden.
• A cutoff time for the decision, for example 9:30 on the day.
• A visible 'Rain plan' block with the indoor address and map, not a note at the bottom.
• A short line guests can remember: 'If it rains, we meet at the hall at the same time.'

One link, updated when the forecast changes

A digital invitation is a web page, not a PDF. If the forecast turns, you edit the address, time or map in Joy Studio. The link stays the same. Your guests open the same message from three weeks ago and see the current version. No reprints, no envelopes, no group chat with forty replies.

Add an RSVP question that helps you plan: 'Could you attend if we move to the hall?' The answers arrive inside the invitation in a list, so you know who can follow the change. You can set the questions yourself. Guests do not need an app: they open the link in any browser and reply from their phone. The invitation is digital: it will not print or send paper, and it will not move chairs or call the tent company for you. Your guests need a phone, tablet or computer with a connection. If you want a physical keepsake, the sensible option is the link for everyone plus a few printed copies for the people who will keep them.

Decide the rain plan before you design the invitation. Then the invitation does the telling.
