Digital Invitation for a Gender Reveal: What It Costs

Saturday, just before eight. The cake is iced, the sparklers are still in their packet, and your phone is propped against a glass on the garden table with the digital invitation open on screen. Your brother leans over and asks the question everyone has been asking all week: so what did this cost, then?

€29.99, paid once. You can pick a design from the catalogue today, fill in the scenes with your own photos and publish the link before the weekend is out. No subscription follows you into next month, the figure doesn't move if you invite forty people instead of twenty, and nothing is printed, so there is no paper, ink or postage on top.

How much does a digital invitation for a gender reveal with fireworks cost?

€29.99. One payment, no per-guest fee, nothing monthly. What you get is a web page of your own rather than a PDF or an image, shared as a link, a QR code or a message. Guests open it in their browser, install nothing, and answer from their phone. For that price you also get up to six of your own photos, music for the moment itself, and an RSVP form you set up yourself. The text can be written in Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German, which is handy when there are aunts in Mexico City and cousins in Berlin.

• One payment of €29.99: no subscription, no charge per guest.
• A page with its own link, not a file to download.
• Up to six photos of your own, cover included, plus music.
• RSVP questions you write, with the answers collected inside the invitation.

Digital invitations you can edit after the link has gone out

Say the launch moves from seven to half past eight because dinner runs late. You change the time in the editor, the link stays exactly as it was, and anyone who opens it from that moment sees the new time. Nothing to reprint, nothing to re-send.

The same goes for the place, the map, the dress code or the line on the cover, so a change of plan costs you a few keystrokes and nothing else. And because it is one link for everyone, the colour clue stays inside the invitation instead of turning into a screenshot that circulates in the family group before the big moment. Open your own link in a private window once before you send it, and put the launch time in the date field where people actually look for it. Confirmations arrive in the invitation itself, in one ordered list, so you know who is coming and with how many before you buy the fireworks.

You are not paying €29.99 for a design. You are paying for one link that stays correct until the sparklers are lit.

The night's budget: fireworks, dinner and one line that doesn't move

Pyrotechnics, the cake and the lights take most of the money. The invitation is the only piece with a closed price, and the only one with no paper, ink or courier behind it, so there is nothing to reprint when the castle time changes on a Tuesday. If a grandparent wants something to hold, the sensible mix is a link for everyone and a few printed copies for whoever will keep them. Choose a design, edit the cover for free in test mode, and publish once the colour is decided.
