Digital Invitation: Save the Date Price Explained

It's a Tuesday night, the date is finally settled, and you want the people who matter to hear it from you before you change your minds again. You don't fancy a trip to a print shop. So you open the collection, choose a design, type two names, a date and a place, and you have a link you can send before you go to bed. That is a digital invitation doing save-the-date duty: no print run, no envelopes, nothing to collect.

The question underneath is the one people type into a search bar at eleven at night: what does a digital save the date cost for a wedding, and what do you actually get? Here is the short answer: the price, what is included, and where paper quietly gets expensive.

A save the date doesn't compete with the invitation. It opens it.

A save the date is normally its own card with one job: tell people the date before they book a holiday. That means a print run, stamps and a list of addresses, and then the real invitation goes out two months later and you pay for the same event twice. Here it is the first scene of the same page. Your names, the date and the place are typed once, and they are still there when the full invitation opens underneath.

• The link you send in March still works in June. Nobody resends anything, and nobody has to ask you for the details again.
• Your cover photo can be a phone shot today and the real one after the shoot. Swap it and the rest of the page stays as it was.
• Save the date and invitation share the same texts, so there is no second version to keep straight in your head.
• Guests open it in their phone's browser. No app to install, no account to create, no password to forget.

What a digital invitation costs: save the date price, paid once

€29.99 per invitation, paid once. Not per guest, not per month, not per language. There is no subscription, no monthly fee and nothing to renew to keep the link alive. A wedding for eighty and a christening for twenty cost the same, because you are paying for the invitation, not for the size of the guest list.

Testing costs nothing. In trial mode you edit the cover without paying; when you buy, the rest of the scenes unlock. Everything happens in the editor in your browser, so there is nothing to install and you see the change as you make it rather than waiting for a proof. The site is in seven languages — Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German — and the invitation content can be set per language too.

One page, one payment, one link — from the first save the date to the last dance.

Paper costs stack up. The RSVP sits in the same link.

On paper, envelopes, stamps and printing multiply by every address you have. Move the time or change the venue and it is another print run plus another round of envelopes. The spare copies, the colour proof and the typeface you fall for at the last minute all land on the bill. And the replies come back scattered across WhatsApp, phone calls and second-hand messages, so someone counts them by hand the week before. Here the confirmations arrive in one ordered list inside the invitation, and you set the questions the form asks: if you only need to know who is coming and who they are bringing, that is what it asks. Guests open the link in their browser, answer and close the tab.

Building the whole thing takes an afternoon

Filter the collection by style, choose a design and fill in the fields: heading, names, date, a line of your own and the place. One field per detail, with a character counter so nothing runs past the frame. Add up to six of your own photos, mark the one you want on the cover and pick the music. The photos frame themselves, and you can replace any of them later. Publish with one button and share it as a link, a QR code or a message.

One design, one payment of €29.99, one link that keeps working after you send it and can still be edited when the venue changes. No reprints, no envelopes, no chasing replies. Choose a design, try it free, and send your invitation tonight.
