Digital invitation budget for a retirement in Porto
Digital invitation: A 40-year career doesn't need forty different cards: it needs one link and a clear price. Here is what a digital invitation for a retirement really costs

You are planning a retirement dinner for someone who has just closed forty years of work, and the guest list keeps moving: forty people today, a few more next week once the cousins reply from Switzerland or Brazil. Before the menu, before the venue, you want the number. A digital invitation from the collection costs 29.99 EUR, once, and you can build it and send it today, the same afternoon you pick the date. Here is what that money covers, what it does not, and how a retirement invitation budget actually adds up.
Forty years of career do not need forty different cards. They need one page that opens on any phone, holds the date, the place and the photos, and collects the replies in the same place you sent the invitation from.
How much does a digital invitation for a retirement cost? 29.99 EUR
One invitation, 29.99 EUR, paid once. There is no monthly subscription and nothing to renew next year. The price does not change when the list grows from forty guests to ninety, because you pay per invitation and not per confirmed person. You can also try before you pay: in test mode you edit the cover for free, and buying unlocks every scene of the invitation.
- 29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once. No subscription and no renewal next year.
- The same price for forty guests or ninety: you pay per invitation, not per head.
- No printing, no stamps and no courier. The link, the QR code or the WhatsApp message costs nothing to send.
- Changes later are included. Move the time or the address and the link stays the same.
Six photos, one link: what a retirement invitation budget buys
You can upload up to six photos of your own. One is the cover, the day of the first contract for example, and the rest sit in the decorative frames, cropped automatically so you do not have to resize anything. The scenes run in order, the way the evening will: the doorway, the courtyard where everyone used to eat at midday, the toast, the last dance. Each scene takes its own text and photos, you can add music and one short phrase, and everything is edited in the browser with a live preview and a character counter so the line fits.
Nothing is printed, because the invitation is 100% digital: no paper, no envelopes, no postage. Your guests only need a phone, a tablet or a computer with a connection, and they do not install an app or create an account. If the person retiring wants something to keep, print a few copies yourself and leave the link for everyone else. Change the time, the place, the map, the dress code or the phrase and nobody has to be sent anything again: the link stays the same and shows the updated version. The invitation can be set up in Portuguese, Spanish, English or any of the seven languages the site runs in, which helps when family is split between Porto, Switzerland and Brazil.

You pay 29.99 EUR once. After that, a new time, a new place or a new photo costs nothing.
Why a QR code beats forty paper cards
Forty years of work leaves people spread across cities and countries. Digital invitations for a retirement handle that without a single envelope: a link or a QR code goes by WhatsApp and each guest opens it when they can, from any browser. Confirmations land inside the invitation, on one ordered list, with the questions you set up yourself, so there is no chasing replies one by one. And knowing who is coming makes the toast, the speech or the surprise easier to prepare, in the same place where you sent the invitation.
Start with the date, choose the cover, publish the link
Pick a design, fill in the fields one by one (date, place, map, phrase), add the photos and press publish. It takes less time than calling the restaurant. Try the cover for free first, and unlock all the scenes for 29.99 EUR when it looks right. The forty years are already counted; only the date is missing.
