Hot-Air Balloon Christening
Sweet and cheerful, with balloons rising into the sky.
Digital christening invitations
A digital christening invitation is an invitation in the form of a web page, sent on WhatsApp. Family and friends open it on their phone, see the times for the church and the celebration with a map for each, and confirm how many of them are coming. It costs €49 if you make it yourself or €149 if we design it, as a one-off payment.
It is designed for parents who want to invite family and friends with something lovely, without the hassle of printing, filling envelopes and handing them out. Above all, it lets you know how many people are coming without having to phone anyone.
A christening usually means two places, the church and the meal afterwards, and lots of children among the guests. The invitation shows both venues with their maps and lets each family say who is coming, who needs a children’s menu and whether anyone has an allergy.

What the christening invitation includes
Your baby’s photo and name
The cover is made with your son or daughter’s name, the date and the photo you choose.
Church and celebration with maps
Both venues, each with its own time and map, so nobody gets lost between the service and the meal.
RSVP with children’s menu
Each person replies separately and chooses an adult or children’s menu, and can also mention any allergies.
Countdown and music
An animated envelope, a song playing in the background and the days left until the christening.
Dashboard with all the replies
See who is coming, how many children there are and which menus you need, ready to pass on to the restaurant.
Shared photo album
Grandparents, aunts, uncles and godparents upload their photos of the day by scanning a QR code, and you have them all in one place.

Have it designed for usWhat to put on a christening invitation
The essentials are your baby’s name, the date, the time and address of the church, and where you are celebrating afterwards. With that, every guest knows where they need to be and when.
From there, each family adds whatever suits them: a few words of welcome, the godparents’ names, a photo of your little one or a note asking guests to reply by a certain date, which is usually what the restaurant needs. If we make it for you, we help with the wording so it sounds natural rather than like a template.
Frequently asked questions
Can the service and the meal be in different places?
Yes. The invitation has room for both the church and the celebration, each with its own time, address and map.
Can I find out how many children are coming?
Yes. Each person replies separately and chooses an adult or children’s menu, so your dashboard shows how many of each you need.
Can I add a photo of the baby?
Yes, any photo you like. If you send it to us, we place it and touch it up so it looks great on the invitation.
Will the grandparents be able to open it?
It opens with a single tap on the link, with nothing to install. And if someone would rather ring you to reply, you can add their answer yourself from the dashboard.
How long does it take?
If we make it, the first version is ready within one working day and it is usually finished in 3 to 5 working days. If you make it yourself, take as long as you like.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. If you make it yourself, you only pay when you publish it; if we make it, you pay when you approve the finished design.
