Digital invitation for a housewarming: real prices

The boxes are still stacked in the hallway and the sofa arrives on Thursday. You're having people over on Saturday anyway. A digital invitation for a housewarming saves you the group chat: one page with the address, the time of the toast and a map, and the replies land in a list instead of forty separate messages. Pick a design from the catalogue, try the cover for free and send the link the same day.

This isn't a PDF you attach and lose. It's a web page with its own link. It opens in any browser, your guests don't install anything, and nothing gets printed.

How much does a digital invitation for a housewarming cost?

€29.99, paid once. No monthly fee, no renewal, no extra charge when the guest list grows: the price is the same whether twelve people come for drinks or forty stay for dinner. Before you pay you can edit the cover in the test mode; buying unlocks every scene of the invitation.

• €29.99 as a one-off payment — no subscription and no per-guest fee
• Free trial of the cover before you buy; all scenes unlock when you pay
• Edits after sending, on the same link, with nothing to reprint
• Up to 6 of your own photos, plus music and RSVP questions you set yourself

What a digital housewarming invitation actually includes

A page of linked scenes you fill in yourself: the front door, the drinks table, the toast and a map showing how to get there. You can load up to 6 photos — the hallway, the new sofa, the balcony at sunset — and the frames crop them automatically. If the light came out wrong, swap any photo afterwards.

Music plays, and you choose the questions on the confirmation form, so you know who stays for the long lunch and who's only dropping by. Guests open the link on their phone and answer from there. Move the toast from seven to eight and you edit it in the browser: everyone opening the same link sees the new time. If part of the family reads another language, the invitation text can be set in it — the site runs in seven.

One payment of €29.99 for a page you can still edit after you send it. The link stays the same, so nothing gets reprinted.

Paper has three costs this one doesn't

With paper you add printing, envelopes and postage to every round. Here you share a link, a QR code or a message and the delivery is done. Change the time of the drinks and nothing needs reprinting: you edit in the browser and the same link shows the updated version. If someone wants something to keep, send the link to everyone and print a handful of copies for the people who will actually put it in a drawer.

When a digital invitation fits, and when it doesn't

It fits if the party is at home or in a small hall and you want the yeses in one ordered list instead of scattered across chats. It doesn't fit if what you're after is printed stationery: nothing here is printed or posted, and saying that out loud saves you a bad purchase. Each guest needs a phone, tablet or computer with a connection — for anyone who doesn't use one, a call covers it. If your date is set and you have a photo of the place, try the design for free and see how your welcome looks before you spend anything.
