Digital invitation for Halloween: the real cost at home

Nine at night, the class group chat is on its fourth round of 'what time was it again?', and you still have 20 kids from the corridor to invite. The hallway already has three carved pumpkins, a door that creaks on purpose and a bowl of sweets you're hiding from your own family. A digital invitation for Halloween sorts this out before it becomes twenty separate conversations, and you can design, personalise and send one today from the catalogue. The only thing worth pricing first is how much a Halloween digital invitation for a party at home actually costs.

The short version: 29.99 EUR, paid once. No monthly plan, no fee per guest, nothing extra sliding onto the bill at the end. What follows is what that number covers, what goes on the invitation, and how it reaches the parents' group.

How much a Halloween digital invitation costs at home

One price, closed: 29.99 EUR per invitation, one payment, no subscription. It covers the three things you'd otherwise buy separately — the design from the collection, the personalisation in Joy Studio (the browser editor, nothing to install) and sending by link, QR or message. The price is per invitation, not per guest, so 20 kids cost the same as 12. You can also try it first: in test mode you edit the cover without paying, and buying unlocks every scene of the invitation.

• 29.99 EUR, once. No renewal, no monthly plan, no charge for opening the link again in November.
• Included in that price: the design, your texts and photos in Joy Studio, and the link, QR or message you send.
• One price for 10 or 30 guests. Invitations are sold per invitation, not per head.
• Paper behaves differently: each copy and each envelope is paid separately, and once it's printed the time on it can't be changed.

What goes on digital invitations for 20 kids at home

Start with the hallway. You can upload up to 6 photos of your own — the pumpkins by the door, the sign on the gate, the cake shaped like a ghost — and they frame themselves, so nobody is dragging corners around. You choose which one is the cover. If the hallway shot comes out with the flash on, swap it and that's it: the invitation keeps the same address.

Text is one field per detail: headline, names, date, phrase and place, with a character counter, so you know whether 'Come at 7:30, the door creaks' fits before you publish. The preview updates as you type, with no reloading. The site runs in seven languages and you can set the invitation content per language, which helps when the group chat reads in more than one.

Why a ghost party at home works better with one link

The party is at home, with kids between 6 and 10. The invitation gets shown on a phone at the school gate, forwarded to whoever missed it, and nobody has to find an envelope at the bottom of a backpack. The mystery stays playful — a creaking door, a bell at eleven, your own photos of the corridor — no gore, nothing that keeps a seven-year-old awake at two in the morning. It's 100% digital, so no paper goes out. If someone wants a copy for the fridge, combine: a link for everyone plus a couple of prints for whoever keeps things.

One payment of 29.99 EUR, one link, and the hallway photo where it belongs. The rest is deciding how loudly the door should creak.

Twenty replies, without chasing anyone

One message to the class group with the link or the QR, and the 'what time was it again?' stops. Change the hour, the place or the ghost's line afterwards and you don't resend or reprint: the link stays the same and parents see the update. Replies arrive inside the invitation, in one ordered list, so you know who's coming without opening twenty chats. The RSVP questions are yours to write — whether a little brother is coming too, for example — added by you, not collected automatically.

The whole cost is one number: 29.99 EUR, paid once, with the design, your texts, up to six photos and the link included. Pick a design, upload the hallway photo, write the line for the door and send it to the parents' group tonight. Leave the QR next to the pumpkin on the day, for whoever turns up at a run.
