What a digital wedding invitation costs in Switzerland

Sunday evening, kitchen table, three paper samples and a roll of stamps. The card is chosen. Now add the envelope, the details insert, the reply card and the return envelope — and you pay for all of it once per guest, before a single name is written.

There's a version of this where the invitation is a web page instead of a stack of card. Send The Joy charges 29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once. Below is what that covers, and what to say to the guest who'd rather hold something in their hand.

What the digital wedding invitation price in Switzerland covers

The digital wedding invitation price here is one payment of 29.99 EUR per invitation. Not a subscription, and nothing extra when the wedding date finally arrives. What you get is a page for your event, not a PDF you attach: it opens from a link, a QR code or a message, and guests install nothing.

• One payment per invitation. No monthly fee, no extra charge when the date comes around.
• A web page of your own, not a PDF or an image. It opens in any browser from a link, a QR code or a message.
• Seven languages, with the invitation content set per language — useful when you have guests in Zurich, Geneva and Madrid at the same time.
• A free trial: edit the cover in test mode before paying, and buying unlocks every scene of the invitation.

The Swiss paper bill: envelopes, stamps and re-sends

A thick card in a heavy envelope has weight, and weight is what the post office charges for. The more formal the invitation, the more each send costs, and the more it stings when you have to do the whole thing twice.

Every change means a new run: fill the envelopes again, address them again, post them again. A concrete example — you move the ceremony from 16:00 to 17:00. On paper that's a reprint and a second trip to the post office. With a link, everyone reads the updated version without receiving anything new.

With a link, the invitation you sent on Monday is still correct on Friday. You just open the editor and fix it.

Changes cost nothing, and RSVP stays inside the invitation

Change the map, the venue, the dress code or a sentence in the editor and publish. The link stays exactly the same. Nobody reprints, nobody re-sends, and your guest opens the message they already have on their phone to find the corrected detail. The editor shows a live preview and a character counter, so you see whether the names or the date get cut off before you publish.

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation itself, in one ordered list, and you stop keeping count in your head or in a note on your phone. You decide which questions the form asks. Guests reply from their phone in two taps, with no account and no app, and you're not chasing answers one by one.

Defending it when someone asks for paper

It's digital: nothing gets printed or posted, so the honest answer for the guest who wants paper is to combine. Send the link to everyone and print a handful of copies with the QR code and the link for whoever will keep them. Guests only need a phone, a tablet or a computer with a connection, and the printed copy is your safety net for anyone who can't open it. Before you order that first print run, try the design in free mode and see your date, your venue and your cover photo on the real link.
