Digital invitation with QR for gifts: what it costs

It's a Tuesday evening and your phone buzzes. A cousin you haven't spoken to since Christmas wants to know where to send the gift. You wrote the answer on a printed card months ago, and now you're not sure whether that card went to her flat or to her parents' house. You could have a digital invitation built and sent before dinner tonight: pick a design from the catalogue, fill in the names and the date, publish, done.

That's why the question stops being about paper and starts being about money: what does a digital wedding invitation with a QR code for gifts cost, and what are you actually paying for? The answer is shorter than most couples expect.

How much does a digital invitation with a QR code for gifts cost?

One price: €29.99 per invitation, paid once. There's no monthly fee and nothing to renew after the wedding is over. That covers the event page with its scenes (chalk threshold, long table, last dance), the music, up to six of your own photos and the RSVP form. No envelope, no stamp, no reprint. And you try it free first: in trial mode you edit the cover, and buying unlocks every scene in the invitation.

• €29.99 per invitation, paid once, with the whole thing included: your own event page, the music, up to six of your photos and the RSVP form.
• A printed card with a QR code for every guest: paper, printing and postage, multiplied by every change of time or place.
• A gift card tucked in the envelope: one per household, plus an address list someone has to keep updated by hand.
• A change three days before the wedding: online you edit the text and the same link shows the new version; on paper you reprint and post again.

The QR code for gifts isn't what pushes the invoice up

A QR code printed on a card costs paper, printing and postage for every guest, and again for every copy that gets damaged, lost or stays in a drawer. A QR code inside a link costs nothing extra, because it never needs reprinting. If a quote you've been given lists a 'QR module', ask what that QR does. If it just opens a page, it shouldn't be billed as a separate website. The extras that really raise the price are elsewhere: a custom domain, a bespoke design, urgent support. Get those priced separately from the QR and you'll be comparing quotes properly.

Now put both options side by side, because this is where digital wedding invitations pull ahead. If your guests live in several cities, a card with a gift card tucked inside means one envelope per household and an address list someone has to keep by hand. If a guest asks three days before the wedding where to send the gift, you change the sentence and they see the new version at the same link, with nothing to resend. A gift list at a shop still makes sense if the whole family lives in the same city and you'd rather walk in together on a Saturday morning. That's a decision about your guests, not about the price.

You pay once for the invitation, not every time the plan changes.

Why one digital invitation handles the gift QR and the replies

A Send The Joy invitation is an event page, not a PDF. You share it as a link, a QR code or a message, and guests open it in any browser without installing an app. Their replies arrive inside the same invitation, in an ordered list, with the RSVP questions you set, so you're not chasing answers through WhatsApp. Change the time, the venue, the map, the dress code or a sentence after sending and the link stays the same. The wording can be set in 7 languages, which helps when people are travelling in. Pick a design and try it free: in trial mode you edit the cover, and you only pay when you unlock every scene. When it looks right, publish with one button and start collecting confirmations on your phone.
