Digital invitations with a payment gateway and group gift

One link where your guests confirm and chip in for the group gift, with no app to install and no WhatsApp chasing. Here's how to set it up.

One link where your guests confirm and chip in for the group gift, with no app to install and no WhatsApp chasing. Here's how to set it up.

You send the invitation and twenty minutes later the questions start. Who's actually coming? Can I bring someone? How much do I put in for the gift? Someone opens a collection, someone else says they already transferred to the cousin's account, and the answers end up scattered across three apps and a screenshot of a bank app.

Digital invitations with a payment gateway put both jobs on one link. Your guests confirm and, if they want, add their share of the group gift from the same page. No app to install, no second website to hunt down, no list to keep on the side.

The invitation is a web page, not a PDF. The guest opens it in any browser on their phone and everything happens inside: the RSVP form you set up, the photos, the music that plays when the page opens, the map. If they also want to contribute, the option sits after the confirmation, not before, so nobody feels like a cash machine in a suit.

  • They open the link, tap yes, and add their part of the group gift on the same page. Nothing to install, no new tab.
  • Replies arrive inside the invitation in one ordered list, with the questions you wrote for the RSVP form. The group chat stays quiet.
  • One invitation costs 29,99 EUR, paid once. Thirty guests or two hundred, the price doesn't move.
  • You edit texts and photos after sending and the link stays the same, so changing a comma doesn't mean sending anything again.

How to ask for the group gift without it sounding like a fee

Write the party first and the contribution second. "Having you there is the gift; if you'd also like to chip in, you can do it right here" lands better than a message with a bare number in it. The guest decides whether they're coming, then whether they're joining in.

Name one specific destination in a line: a long dinner the next day, a two-night escape, a kitchen thing that lasts twenty years. Vague gets ignored, specific gets support. Keep it short, too. Nobody reads four lines about a coffee grinder.

The invitation asks once, in one place: are you coming, and would you like to be part of the gift?

Change the time and nothing has to be re-sent

Move the hour, the venue, the map, the dress code or the line about parking and your guests see the updated version the next time they open the same link. No new envelopes, no "ignore my last message". Photos work the same way: you mark which one is the cover, swap any image later, and they frame themselves. Music and RSVP questions are set in the browser editor, with preview as you type and a character counter so the wording doesn't run long.

Paper stays for whoever is going to keep it

This is digital: nothing gets printed or posted. If someone wants something in hand, the sensible mix is a link for everyone and a few copies printed at home for the people who keep things in a drawer. Guests need a phone, a tablet or a computer with a connection, so send the link as a message and as a QR code. The site runs in seven languages — Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German — and the invitation content can be set per language, which helps when half the family lives abroad.

Pick a design, try it free by editing the cover, and publish with a button when you're happy: 29,99 EUR once, no subscription. The link takes care of the confirmations and the gift while you decide whether this is a dinner, a weekend or something that lasts twenty years.
