Your invitation. One link. Everything on it.
Instead of printing cards and chasing replies over WhatsApp, you send a designed invitation page — countdown, directions, schedule and an RSVP button that writes straight into your guest list.

What a digital invitation actually is
A digital invitation on Photogala is not a PDF you pass around — it is a page of its own for your event. Guests open it in the browser, with no app, no account and no download, and find everything they need to know.
The difference from a printed card is what happens afterwards. If the time changes, you change it in one place and every guest sees the new one. When somebody replies, the answer lands in the same guest list that later feeds the seating plan, the menu and the place cards.
The invitation belongs to the same event as your photo gallery. Anyone who opened the invitation can come back to the pictures through the same link after the party — and the save-the-date version is free on every plan.
What every invitation carries
Fill in what matters for your event and hide the rest. None of it requires design skills.
Ready-made designs
Pick a style and your colours — type, spacing and image crops fall into place by themselves. If you want more control, keep going in the design studio.
Countdown to the day
A counter showing the days left. It sounds like a detail, but it is the reason guests open the page a second and third time.
Venue, schedule, dress code
Location with map and directions, times, dress code, gift ideas, places to stay. All optional, all in one place.
Replies built in
The RSVP button is part of the invitation, not a separate form. Answers flow into your guest list, including plus-ones and menu choice.
Link or QR code
Send the link over WhatsApp and email, or print the QR code onto a physical card — both lead to the same page.
Multilingual
Store the text in several languages. Each guest sees the version matching their browser language.
Sent in four steps
Pick a design
Choose a style and colours — or reuse your event colours so invitation and gallery look like one piece.
Add the details
Date, venue, schedule, dress code. Anything you leave empty never shows up.
Share it
Copy the link and send it, or put the QR code on printed cards.
Follow the replies
You see who opened and who replied, so you can nudge the few who haven't instead of reminding everyone.
Who invites this way
Weddings
Save the date early, the full invitation later — both through the same link your guests already know.
Corporate events
Invitation, directions and programme for hundreds of colleagues without printing a single card.
Birthdays
Quick to set up, quick to send. For a party three weeks out, a printed card is too slow anyway.
Event planners
Build one invitation as a template and reuse it for the next event with new dates.
Digital invitation, printed card and form
Three ways to invite people — and what separates them the moment something changes.
| Feature | Photogala | Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Changing details after sending | Change once, everyone sees it immediately | Printed card: impossible. Form: needs a new message to everyone |
| Collecting replies | RSVP button writes straight into the guest list | Answers arrive by WhatsApp, email and word of mouth |
| Cost | Included on every plan, save the date free forever | Printing and postage from roughly 3 to 6 euro per guest |
| Route to the photos | The same link leads to the gallery after the party | Needs a second channel many guests never find again |
| Lead time | Ready and sent within half an hour | Printing and delivery take one to three weeks |

Uploader Definition: All guests who upload at least one photo or video count as uploaders. Unlimited guests can still view the gallery.
Fair Use Storage: Storage is sized for normal event usage. Reach out if you need unusually large galleries.
After expiry: After the storage period the gallery is closed to guests; as the organizer you keep 30 days of ZIP-download access, then it is deleted.
