Digital invitation price: Milan gala with kids' menu

It's the Tuesday before the gala. The restaurant has just moved the children's service to 20:30, and the invitation you ordered last month still says 19:45. Ninety guests are confirmed, twelve of them under ten, and reprinting means a new proof, new envelopes and another courier. With a Digital invitation you open the editor, change one line in the 'Long dinner' scene, and everyone who opens the same link sees the new time. You can build and send yours today from the catalogue.

What follows is the budget for a Milan gala dinner with a kids' menu, item by item: the parts that cost money, and the ones that quietly don't.

What a Digital invitation for a Milan gala dinner costs, piece by piece

The price is 29.99 EUR per invitation. One payment, no subscription, and nothing that switches itself back on after the evening. Before you pay you can try a design in test mode and edit the cover for free; buying unlocks every scene in the invitation.

• 29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once: no monthly fee that starts after the event and no charge per extra guest.
• Test mode is free. You edit the cover, check the layout and only then decide.
• On the paper route, printing, envelopes and courier are separate line items. A digital invitation has no physical delivery, so that line disappears.
• It's a web page, not a PDF or an image. It opens in the browser on any phone.

The kids' menu goes into the invitation, not the invoice

One sentence in the text field of the 'Long dinner' scene does the job: 'Kids' menu served at 20:30, before the toast in the main room.' If the kitchen shifts that time, you edit the sentence. The link stays the same and guests see the update without anyone forwarding it again.

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation in one ordered list. You choose the questions on the RSVP form, so you read what you actually needed to know instead of scrolling a group chat for a 'yes' from three weeks ago.

The kids' menu is a line of text, not a line in the budget.

Twelve children don't move the number: digital invitations aren't priced per seat

You pay per invitation, not per plate. The gala can seat 40 or 120 and the figure stays at 29.99 EUR. When a surname drops off the list or a brother joins the kids' table, you edit and that's it: no reprint, no new envelope. Up to six of your own photos, cover and decorative, frame themselves, and any of them can be replaced later without going near a print shop.

How to compare the best digital invitations for a gala dinner with children

Most of the difference shows up before you pay. Five questions are worth asking any provider.

• Check the price is per invitation and a one-off payment, not a monthly subscription.
• Make sure you can edit after sending and that the link stays the same.
• Confirm the RSVP form can be set up the way you need it.
• Try the cover free before paying, and see whether the design suits a black-tie dinner.
• Check it opens in a phone browser with no app to install.

If you're closing the budget for your Milan gala dinner, start with the invitation: write the kids' menu note, set the time, publish, and change it later without reprinting anything. Pick a design, try it free, and unlock the full invitation for 29.99 EUR.
