Digital invitation: the cost of a Halloween rooftop dinner

The message lands on 24 October: 'so are we actually doing the roof this year?' You have a pumpkin on the landing, a string of bulbs to hang and forty people who need the address, the hour and the dress code. How much does a digital invitation for a Halloween rooftop dinner cost? €29.99, paid once. You choose a design from the catalog, put your own texts and photos in it and send the link the same evening.

Here is what that €29.99 covers, what it does not, and why the number stays put whether four people climb the stairs or forty. Nothing extra appears at the end: not per guest, not per language, not for the edit you make at six in the evening on the day.

How much do digital invitations for a Halloween rooftop dinner cost?

One payment covers the whole thing, because the invitation is a page on the web and not a PDF or an image in the chat. That is why the price does not move when the guest list does.

• €29.99 once, for the invitation itself, not per head. Two people on the roof or sixty, the number at checkout stays the same.
• Up to six of your own photos, cover and decorative, framed automatically. You pick which one is the cover and you can swap any of them later at no extra cost.
• Seven languages on the site, with the invitation content configurable per language: the friend who reads in English opens the same invitation, on the same single payment.
• No printing, no envelopes, no postage, nothing to hand out at the door — a link, a QR code or a message does the whole job.

Digital invitation for Halloween: pay once, edit all night

It rains at nine and the roof stops being a good idea. You move the table downstairs, change the place and the map in the editor, and the link stays exactly as it was — nobody re-sends anything. Same with the hour: the doorbell slides from ten to eleven, the dress code goes from black to black with a pumpkin, and whoever opens the invitation sees the current version, not the one you sent last Tuesday.

Replies arrive inside the invitation as well, in one ordered list instead of two hundred messages. You write the questions yourself — coming up to the roof before eleven, or straight to the last dance? — and guests answer in the browser on the phone already in their hand. No app to install, no account, no 'I think I'm in' buried under a gif of a dancing skeleton.

You pay once for the invitation. Change the hour, the place or the dress code, and the same link shows the new version.

One page with scenes, not a PDF with pumpkins

The invitation is a page with scenes that follow each other — a threshold, a long table, a last dance — and each scene takes your texts and photos. Every detail has its own field (label, names, date, line, place), a character counter and a preview that updates as you type. Try the cover for free before you pay; buying unlocks all the scenes. Pick a design, put the rooftop and the hour in it, and send the link before the pumpkin on the landing gives up.
