Hen Party Tapas Competition Invitations: Who's on Which Team

You want the hen party tapas competition invitations sorted before Saturday, and the group chat is still arguing about who's on Team Tortilla. Someone screenshotted a list from three weeks ago. Someone else edited it. The competition starts in two days and nobody agrees on the teams, the shopping time or what counts as cheating.

This is where one link does the work. The teams, the times and the rules go into the invitation itself, as text you type into the design. Everyone opens the same link, scrolls to their scene and finds their team, their color and their arrival time. No screenshots, no four-minute voice notes, no answering the same question twice.

The tapas teams get picked inside the invitation, not in the group chat

A digital invitation is a web page, not a PDF or a photo of a card. Each scene is a screen your guests scroll through, and you fill them in yourself in Joy Studio, the editor that runs in your browser. There is one text field per piece of information — the label, the names, the date, the line, the place — with a character counter beside it. That counter matters when you are typing "Team Anchovy" into a design built for something shorter.

• Write the four team names with their colors into the opening scene: Team Brava, Team Anchovy, Team Tortilla, Team Pepper.
• Add an RSVP question like "Which team are you on?" and the answers land in one ordered list inside the invitation.
• If someone swaps teams at the last minute, edit the text and the same link shows the new list.
• Share the link or the QR code in the group chat. Nobody installs an app; it opens in the phone's browser.

Three times your guests can read without scrolling

Put the timetable in separate fields: 11:00 shop at the market, 13:30 plate up, 14:15 the jury calls it. Keep them short and visible. If the market run goes long, you edit the text and the link you already sent shows the new time.

The exact place — the town square, Marta's patio — sits in the same scene with its map. If it rains and you move into the kitchen, you change it there and everyone sees it. What each team brings (a tray, an apron in your team's color, 12 euros for the shopping) is scene text too, so nobody turns up with a frying pan and no knife.

The tapas competition is decided twice: once when the teams are written down, and once when someone tastes the brava.

Write the judging rules before anyone turns on a hob

Three criteria, in a scene of their own: flavor, presentation, and how clean the station looks at the end. Writing them down stops anyone inventing a rule halfway through to save their own plate. A photo of the real prize — an engraved wooden spoon, a bottle of vermouth — works as a decorative photo: it frames itself inside the layout, and you can replace it later. You can use up to six of your own photos, mark which one is the cover, and swap it for the winner's picture afterwards.

What a digital invitation won't do

It won't print anything or arrive in an envelope. If your grandmother wants to keep a copy, the sensible option is the link for everyone plus two or three printed copies you make yourself. Your guests need a phone, tablet or computer with a connection. That is the full list of requirements — there is no app to download and no code to redeem.

You can also change your mind after you publish. Editing the time, the place, the map or the toast line doesn't mean resending anything: the link stays the same and guests see the updated version. Start with the cover in trial mode, and when it's ready, publish for 29.99 EUR with the teams already written in and the plating time in plain sight.
