Digital invitation price: RSVP by table explained

Three weeks before the wedding, the seating plan is a spreadsheet with names pasted in from four different chats. One plus-one appears twice, once with a surname and once without. Someone replied "can't wait" in a group of forty, and you're still not sure whether that was a yes.

A digital invitation puts that in one place. You choose a design from the catalogue, type in the label, names, date, phrase and venue, and send the link the same day — 29.99 EUR as a single payment, no subscription. What follows is what that price covers when the answers have to end up sorted by table, and what it doesn't.

How much does a digital invitation with RSVP by table cost?

29.99 EUR, paid once per invitation. Not per guest, not per month, and nothing switches on later when you publish. You get a page with its own link and QR code — not a PDF you send as an attachment. Guests open it in the browser on their phone, tablet or laptop and reply from there, which is also the honest way to compare digital invitations: by what the link does, not by how the envelope looks.

• One payment of 29.99 EUR: no subscription, no monthly fee that starts once the invitation is live.
• A web page with its own link and QR, not a file to download. Guests need no app and no account.
• All scenes unlocked when you buy: your texts, up to 6 photos, music and the RSVP questions you write.
• A free trial before that: edit the cover with your names, date, phrase and venue without paying a thing.

RSVP by table: what the link handles and what it doesn't

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation, in one ordered list. No copying names out of WhatsApp at midnight, no screenshots. You set the questions on the form yourself, so what comes back is what you asked for: who's coming and who they're coming with.

Table numbers are not part of it. The seating plan still closes on your side, with the list in front of you. What the link takes off your plate is the second round of messages: change the time, the venue, the map, the dress code or a line of text and everyone who opens the same link sees the new version. Nothing to resend.

You don't need a smarter spreadsheet. You need the yeses in one list instead of forty chats.

The hidden cost of collecting RSVPs on WhatsApp

An "I'll be there" in a group of forty vanishes between stickers and voice notes. Every change of time means repeating the same message into thirty separate chats, and the confirmations you do get are scattered across threads you have to scroll back through. A screenshot won't hold a table together. The form inside the invitation keeps replies where you can read them in one go, and they're still there next week.

Paper, link or both, and testing before you pay

If someone in the family wants paper, the sensible answer is a mix: the link for everyone, and a few printed copies for the people who'll keep one. The invitation itself is 100% digital — nothing printed, nothing posted — and guests need a phone, tablet or computer with a connection. Before you spend anything, filter the collection by style and edit the cover in trial mode; buy once and every scene unlocks in the same browser editor.

If the seating plan depends on clear answers, start with the cover: edit it free, then unlock all the scenes for 29.99 EUR. With a digital invitation from Send The Joy, confirmations sit in one ordered list and the link stays the same when the time or the venue changes.
