Digital invitation for your witches' dinner in Lyon

On Tuesday someone in the office chat asks what time dinner starts. By Thursday the answer is four screens up, somewhere between the Tuesday report and a video of a dog. The dress code went in there too — witch hat, no exceptions — and now nobody can find it. That is the mess a digital invitation clears up: one page, one link, with the time, the restaurant, the map and the hat in the same place. You can pick a design from the catalogue and send it the same afternoon. Here is what goes on it for a Halloween witches' dinner in Lyon.

The invitation is a web page of its own, not a PDF and not a photo of a poster. It opens in the browser on any phone, nothing to install. So when the restaurant moves the booking to 21:00 on Friday afternoon, you change the hour and the same link shows the new one.

The witch hat goes on the digital invitation, not in the office chat

On the invitation the dress code has a field of its own and it reads on the cover, not in the small print. Write 'witch hat, no exceptions' and nobody turns up in a beanie. The hour sits next to it: 20:30, long table, restaurant in central Lyon, map just below. Whoever opens the link on the metro sees the hat before leaving the house.

• One line for the dress code, decided in advance: witch hat, no exceptions.
• The restaurant name and address in Lyon, the booking time and a map.
• A photo for the cover — the lit doorway or the pumpkin table — with no faces you would have to ask about.
• A deadline to confirm by, written the way the team writes dates in the calendar.

Where to buy digital invitations for a Halloween dinner in Lyon

At Send The Joy you filter the catalogue by style, open a design and edit the cover in trial mode without paying anything. Buying unlocks the whole invitation, every scene. In the editor you fill one field per item — heading, names, date, line, place — with a character counter, so the hat line does not get cut off when it goes live. Up to six of your own photos, and you can swap any of them later. The site and the invitation content work in seven languages, French included.

Confirmations land inside the same invitation, in an ordered list. You choose which questions the form asks, so it can be two short ones instead of a questionnaire. Guests open the link in the browser and answer from there: no app, no download, no excuse. By Monday you know how many of you there are before you call the restaurant back.

One link, one version of the truth: fix the hour and nobody has to scroll back through the chat.

What a Halloween dinner invitation costs in Lyon

29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once. No subscription, nothing renewing in the background in November, no paper to print again. You can try the cover for free before paying and unlock the full invitation when you buy. Split between colleagues, it is the sort of amount that gets settled in the chat in about four messages.

Change the table at the restaurant and the link stays the same

If the booking moves to 21:00, or someone finds a better table by the window, you edit the hour or the place and the link stays the same — no resending, no old message to rescue. Before the restaurant door closes at eleven, have it sent. Pick a design, put the hat on the cover, share one link. Start with the free trial: an afternoon in October is enough.
