Digital invitation for a gender reveal: confetti cannon cost

The cannons are in the boot of the car. The cake is ordered. Then someone asks in the family group chat what time the confetti actually goes off, and you realise the answer isn't written down anywhere. A digital invitation puts that time on the same page as the address, and you can create and send yours today from the catalogue.

The question underneath is money: how much does a digital invitation for a gender reveal with a confetti cannon really cost? Short answer, €29.99 paid once. The longer answer is what that price includes, what it leaves out, and how to stop the confetti going off before half your guests have arrived.

How much a digital invitation for a gender reveal costs

One payment, one invitation. No subscription, no charge when you hit publish. For that you get your own web page for the event: every scene unlocked once you buy, text in a field per detail, up to six of your own photos, music, and an RSVP form whose questions you set yourself. The cover can be edited for free before you pay — the rest opens at checkout.

• €29.99 once, per invitation. No monthly fee and no extra charge to publish the link.
• The free test is the cover. Buying unlocks every scene in the design, not just the first page.
• Up to six of your own photos, one marked as the cover, any of them swapped later.
• No paper, envelopes or postage — money that stays with the cannon, the confetti and the cake.

Write the cannon time down instead of improvising it

Put the exact time of the shot in the date and place fields, then add one line: we're meeting 15 minutes before. That way nobody turns up with the confetti already in the air. Name the person filming — 'Aunt Marta films from the garden gate' works better than hoping someone remembers. And describe the meeting point with something you can see: the table at the back, the green door, the corner by the parasol.

If the supplier pushes the cannon back an hour, you open the editor in your browser, change the time, and the link stays exactly the same. Guests see the new version; nobody needs a second WhatsApp. Map, venue, dress code and photos work the same way. A PDF that everyone has already downloaded can't do that.

The confetti fires once. The invitation is what gets everyone there for that one moment.

Digital invitations versus paper: one link for the group, two prints for grandma

If the grandparents want something to hold, print two copies for them and send the link to everyone else. You don't have to pick a side. In the family group chat, a link with the confetti time and where to stand reads better than an image that disappears between memes. Guests install nothing: they open the link in the phone browser and confirm from there.

Those confirmations also decide how much confetti you buy. Replies arrive in an ordered list inside the same invitation, so you count heads before ordering the big cannon or the small one. You set the form questions yourself, with whatever you need to know about that day. Nobody chases answers by WhatsApp.

Pick a design, try the cover for free, then publish with the cannon time written in and the name of whoever is filming. That's the whole job: €29.99, one payment, one link, one time on the clock.
