Digital Invitation for Halloween: Cost of a Garage Dinner

It's the Tuesday before Halloween. Twelve people are coming to the garage on Saturday, the table has to fit between the bikes, and the group chat has already buried the details under pumpkin emojis. Someone asks what time. Someone asks whether the kids come. Someone asks what to bring. You type the same answer four times. A digital invitation fixes that — you can create and send one today from the catalogue, and everyone reads the same link.

Here's what it costs for a family dinner in a decorated garage, what goes inside, and what you stop paying for when you skip the paper.

How much a digital invitation for Halloween costs: 29.99 EUR, once

One payment, no subscription renewing next October. What you buy is a web page of your own for the evening, shared as a link, a QR code or a plain message. Guests open it in the browser on their phone — nothing to install, no account to create. Inside: the cover scene plus the scenes chained after it, the words you write field by field with a character counter, music, up to six of your own photos and the RSVP questions you set up. The site runs in seven languages and the invitation text can be set per language, which helps when the table mixes English with something else.

• A single link, a QR code or a message — whichever your family will actually open.
• Free trial first: edit the cover without paying, then unlock every scene when you buy.
• Up to six photos of your own, framed automatically, each one replaceable later.
• RSVP answers land in one ordered list inside the invitation, not scattered across chats.

Digital invitations vs printing at home for a garage dinner

Printing at home for twelve people takes a colour cartridge, heavy paper, an evening with scissors and a stack of cards that lean slightly to the left. Then envelopes, stamps, and addresses you have to dig out of old messages. And if the door moves from ten to eleven because your brother's train is late, the whole run goes in the bin. Edit the time on the invitation and the link stays the same — anyone who reopens it sees eleven.

Paper still has one job. If someone wants a copy for the fridge door, print three for the people who keep things and send the link to everyone else. Be straight about the rest: this is digital, it doesn't print or post anything, and guests need a phone, tablet or laptop with a connection. Say that in the same message as the link and you skip the first three questions.

The invitation is the first door that creaks. Make it sound like your house, not like a template.

How to create a digital invitation for a family Halloween dinner

Choose a design from the collection — filter by style if you already know the look — and open it in the editor. Type the date, the hour the door opens, the address and the one line you want people repeating, drop in the photo of the garage with the lanterns already up, and try the cover for free. Nothing to pay until you publish. When it looks right, hit the button and put the link in the group chat. Confirmations come back inside the invitation, in order, so on Friday you know how many chairs to carry out and how much ice to buy. A digital invitation takes an evening, not a weekend, and the cobwebs can go up afterwards.
