Digital Invitation for a Halloween Rooftop in Porto

It's 23:10 and someone is holding the buzzer down. They're on the right street, outside the right building, but at the wrong door — the one with the blue tiles, not the one next to the florist. Up on the roof the table is laid, the pumpkins are lit and nobody hears a thing. A digital invitation would have sent them to the right door at 20:00, with 20:15 written next to it for the part upstairs.

This is a guide for whoever is organising a Halloween dinner for grown-ups on a Porto rooftop: black cats, one long table, a costume nobody has to explain. You can build the whole thing today from the catalogue, try the cover for free and send one link instead of a thread of voice notes.

Where to buy digital Halloween invitations in Porto for a rooftop dinner

Before you pay anywhere, ask three questions. Can you try the cover and edit it without paying? Can the text inside the invitation be written in Portuguese? The site runs in seven languages and the invitation content is set per language, so your guests read 'Gatos negros, 31 de outubro' and not a translation of it. And does the link stay editable afterwards? At Send The Joy the test mode is free, buying unlocks every scene, and the link never changes once it's out.

• 20:00 at the front door, 20:15 upstairs — both times in the welcome scene, in Portuguese.
• The door exactly as it appears on the plate, florist included: 'Porta 3, ao lado da florista'.
• A short label with the date: 'Gatos negros, 31 de outubro'.
• One vertical photo of the roof at dusk, marked as the cover, opened on your own phone before you paste the link in the group.

The door name goes on the invitation, not on the rooftop

Porto has streets where two doors share the same number and the same street name — one has a tiled facade, the other a bell that hasn't worked since 2019. Write the door as the plate says it, add the florist if she's the landmark, and put both times on one line: '20:00 no portal, 20:15 na cobertura.' Whoever skips the front door ends up with a closed door and their own finger on the buzzer at eleven.

Keep the rest short. The character counter stops a label from breaking across two lines on a phone. The dress code is one line — 'preto, orelhas opcionais' — and if you need to explain the food, that goes on the dinner scene, not on the cover. You can add up to six of your own photos, choose which one is the cover and swap any of them later; last year's roof doesn't have to stay.

A Halloween invitation has one job before midnight: get people to the correct door, on the right night, dressed as a cat if they feel like it.

Alternatives to printed Halloween invitations for one rooftop table

A digital invitation isn't a PDF and it isn't a picture in the group chat. It's a web page made for your dinner: you share a link or a QR code, guests open it in the browser and reply without installing anything. 29,99 EUR, paid once, no subscription, one link for the whole list with every scene unlocked. If your aunt wants something to keep, print three or four cards separately — that's a decision you make, not a feature you bought.

From the WhatsApp thread to a list of yeses

Replies land inside the invitation, in an ordered list, so the note on your phone can retire. You write the questions yourself — who's coming, whether they're bringing someone, which door they'll try first — and skip the ones you'll never read. The invitation doesn't chase people who haven't answered, and it doesn't collect allergies or menus for you: if you need to know, ask it in your own question or put one line of text on the dinner scene. Change the time, the door name or the map later and the link stays the same, with no second message. Pick a design from the collection, filter by style, try the cover for free and publish the link tonight with 20:00 already written.
