Digital invitation: gender reveal cost in Bilbao, 40 guests

Forty people, one Saturday, and a cake sitting in the fridge that nobody is allowed to cut yet. You are planning a gender reveal in Bilbao and the guest list is the annoying part: getting the date, the time and the address to forty people without sending forty separate messages. A digital invitation from the Send The Joy catalogue handles that in an afternoon — you choose a design, type in your details and send one link the same day.

Before the details, the short answer on price: €29.99, paid once, for the whole invitation. Send The Joy sells digital invitations, not printed cards, so there is nothing to order from a printer or chase in the post. What follows is what that money covers on your guest list, and what it doesn't.

What a digital invitation for a gender reveal in Bilbao costs

One invitation is €29.99. It is not €29.99 per guest and it is not €29.99 a month — a single payment covers all forty people, whether they live in Indautxu, Getxo or Berlin. Because the invitation travels as a link, a QR code or a message, your postcode changes nothing: no courier, no envelope, no walk to a print shop. You can also test it before spending anything. In test mode you edit the cover and see how it looks; when you buy, every scene of the invitation unlocks.

• Ask whether the price is a one-off or a subscription: at Send The Joy it is €29.99 per invitation, with no monthly fee.
• Check that you can build the cover for free before you pay anything.
• Make sure the link goes out by QR, WhatsApp or a plain message, with nothing for your guests to install.
• Confirm that RSVPs arrive inside the invitation, in one list you can actually read.

Digital invitations at €29.99: what's included, what isn't

What you get is a web page for your event — not a PDF attached to an email, not a flat image. Your guests open the link in any browser and reply from their phone. You can add up to six of your own photos, mark which one is the cover and swap any of them later; the framing adjusts itself. The words are split into separate fields (a small line at the top, names, date, a phrase, the place), there is music, and you set the RSVP questions yourself. Answers land in one ordered list on the invitation. And here is the useful part for a party that is still moving: change the time, the venue, the map or the dress code and the link stays the same, so nobody needs a second message.

Two honest limits. It is 100% digital: nothing is printed or posted, so if you want paper for the people who keep things, the sensible mix is a link for everyone plus a handful of printed copies you make yourself. And your guests need a phone, a tablet or a computer with an internet connection. There is no app to download, which is the whole point, but no connection means no invitation.

One link, forty guests, €29.99 paid once — and the confirmations arrive on the invitation instead of in your messages.

Why 40 guests in Bilbao only need one link

With forty guests, one link replaces forty messages and the awkward follow-ups. You write it in your own words, add your photos, and if the plan shifts — a different bar, half an hour earlier, a colour to wear — you edit the invitation and the same link shows the new version. A digital invitation costs €29.99, paid once, and you can try the cover for free before you decide. Open the catalogue, pick the design that matches the tone of your reveal, and publish the link when you feel ready.
