How much does a digital birthday invitation cost?

Three days before the party, the plan changes. The table is booked an hour later, and the dress code becomes 'whatever you can dance in'. If you've already printed 40 cards, that means another print run, another trip to the shop and a round of apologetic messages. If you're sending a link, you open the editor, change one field and close the laptop. That difference is the real answer to how much a digital birthday invitation costs.

At Send The Joy it's €29.99, paid once, for a web page built for that birthday. Not a subscription, not a template you download. Here's what that money covers, and what stops showing up on the bill.

How much does a digital birthday invitation cost? €29.99, once

You get one invitation: a web page for the birthday, shared with a link, a QR code or a message. It isn't a PDF, and it isn't an image that disappears up the chat. So the price of a digital birthday invitation is a single charge — no monthly fee that reappears as the date gets closer. The site and the invitation content work in seven languages: Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German. You set the content per language, which helps if half your guests read in English and the other half in Catalan or German.

• A web page of your own for the birthday, shared as a link, a QR code or a message.
• A one-off payment of €29.99: no subscription, nothing that renews near the date.
• Seven languages, with the invitation text configurable language by language.
• Guests open the link in any browser and reply from their phone. Nothing to install.

The editor and the photos are already in the price

Joy Studio runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install. You edit the small heading, the names, the date, a short line and the place — one field per item — and the preview updates as you type, with no reloading. A character counter keeps you from writing past the space you have.

You can upload up to six of your own photos: one cover and decorative ones. They frame themselves, you choose which one is the cover, and you can swap any photo later. Music and the RSVP questions are configurable too, so you don't pay for a separate tool to collect replies. Guests answer inside the invitation, and the confirmations land in one ordered list instead of scattered across WhatsApp.

€29.99, paid once, for a web page that belongs to the birthday. Everything after that — a new time, a new place, a new dress code — is an edit, not a new expense.

What you stop paying for: paper, envelopes and reprints

Printing is priced per copy, and every change means a new run. Here, €29.99 covers one digital invitation that reaches everyone through the same link — 40 guests or 90, it's the same page. There's no stationery, no postage and no envelope left at the bottom of a school bag. If some guests want something to keep, the sensible mix is the link for everyone plus a handful of printed copies for the people who'll actually hold on to them. Pick a design from the collection, edit the cover for free before you buy, and publish with one button when the date is settled.
