Digital invitation: wedding anniversary ideas with kids

The message lands at 11pm: "Do we bring the kids?" You answer it in a voice note. Then someone else asks exactly the same thing in a different chat, and by Friday there are three versions of the same evening going round. Wedding anniversary ideas with kids usually come down to two times — when dinner starts and when the children go home — so put them in one place. Choose a design from the catalogue, fill in the date and both times, and send your digital invitation today.

A digital invitation is a web page for your evening, opened in the browser on whatever your guests already have in their hand. No app to install, no PDF attached to a message that gets forwarded without it.

A digital invitation that writes down the pick-up time

Put both times in the same scene: "8:30pm, dinner" and "11pm, pick-up". Someone reads the second line and replies without going away to think about it. Add one more for the people who want to stay — breakfast at home on Sunday morning — because that line turns a "we'll see" into a yes. And if the plan moves, you edit the scene. Same link, updated version, nobody has to be told.

• Two times on the first screen: 8:30pm dinner, 11pm pick-up.
• A line for whoever stays: breakfast at home on Sunday.
• The RSVP question "how many of you are coming, kids included?".
• The name and mobile number of the person taking the children home, in the last scene.

The best digital invitations for a wedding anniversary with kids start at the kids' table

A low table next to the adult one, not in another room. Kraft paper over the top, a jar of crayons, a plastic cup per child. They can see you. You can see them. Nobody is in exile and nobody spends the evening running between courses.

Serve their food fifteen minutes before the adults sit down. By the time you unfold your napkin they are already eating and half entertained. Leave one extra small chair at that table: there is always a cousin who wants to move over.

One photo per year, and a cover you can swap

The editor takes up to six of your own photos and frames them for you. Use one per year — the children look for themselves in each one and recognise the garden or the kitchen in the background. Mark the most recent photo of the two of you as the cover and let the rest sit as decoration. If a better one turns up next week, replace it: the link is already out and nothing breaks.

Two times on the same screen, one clear question in the RSVP, and nobody has to ask again.

Move dinner to five and nothing has to be re-sent

Change the time, the address or the dress code in the scene and your guests see the version you have now when they open the link. Nothing is reprinted and no message goes out one by one. Confirmations arrive inside the invitation in one ordered list, with the answer about the children in it, so you buy the small plates knowing the number. If the grandparents want something on paper, print two copies for them and leave the link for everyone else. Pick a design, try the cover for free, and publish your digital invitation with both times visible. 29.99 EUR, one payment.
