How much a digital invitation costs

A digital invitation can cost $0 or more than $3,000 MXN, and both get called "digital invitations." The difference isn't just price: it's how much it looks like yours, whether it keeps track of your guest list, and whether it carries someone else's watermark. Here are the real price ranges in Mexico and when each option makes sense.

The three price tiers

Option	Typical cost	Best for	Main limitation
Free template (Canva, apps)	$0	Small, casual events	Watermark and little customization
Freemium invitation app	$100 to $400 MXN	Birthdays, get-togethers	Repeated designs, limited features
Custom invitation	$800 to $3,500 MXN	Weddings, quinceañeras, formal events	Someone has to design it

When free is enough

If you're organizing a lunch, a birthday with friends or a get-together with no formalities, a free template does the job. All you need is to give the date, time and place clearly. In that setting, paying for an invitation doesn't change the outcome.

The event is informal and has few guests.
You don't need to track who's confirmed.
You don't mind the app's branding showing up.
There's no particular image or style you want to protect.

When paying makes sense

At a wedding or a quinceañera, the invitation is part of the event. A custom version pays for itself there: it looks like yours, with no one else's branding, and it saves you from chasing RSVPs over WhatsApp one by one.

RSVP tracking that fills in a list on its own.
A design that fits your event, not a template you've already seen at someone else's party.
Map, countdown, schedule and gift registry in a single link.
Opens on any phone with nothing to install, and shares over WhatsApp.

If you'd rather build it yourself, the full process is in how to make a digital invitation step by step.

What pushes the price of a custom one up

The number of sections (gallery, story, detailed schedule).
RSVP tracking that handles plus-ones.
Animations, music or design effects.
Rush delivery if the event is only days away.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a digital invitation for free?

Yes. With templates from tools like Canva or free apps, you can put together a simple invitation without paying anything. The limits are customization, features like RSVP tracking, and the fact that many free options add a watermark or ads.

How much does a custom digital invitation cost?

A custom digital invitation, with its own page, countdown, map and RSVP form, typically runs from $800 to $3,500 MXN in Mexico, depending on the event and the features you need.

How much do people charge to make a digital invitation?

An independent designer usually charges $500 to $1,500 MXN for an invitation delivered as an image, and $1,200 to $3,500 MXN for a page with its own link, RSVP and map. Specialized studios can go past $5,000 MXN for weddings with several sections.

How much extra is a digital invitation with RSVP tracking?

RSVP tracking is usually what separates an $800 invitation from a $2,000 MXN one, because it takes a form, a database and a list you can check. Once an event goes past 80 guests, it's the feature that pays for itself fastest.

Is it worth paying, or should I use a free one?

For a small, casual event, a free one is enough. For a wedding, a quinceañera (a girl's 15th birthday celebration) or any event where image matters and you need to control the guest list, the custom version almost always earns its price.

What does a paid digital invitation include?

Usually a design that fits your event, its own page that opens from a link, RSVP tracking, a map with the location, a countdown, a schedule and sometimes a gift registry or photo gallery. No one else's watermarks.

How much does Elevalia's digital invitation cost?

From $3,990 MXN, with the full page published, RSVP tracking, map, countdown and one round of revisions. It sits above an independent designer's range because it's a full page of your own, ready to send. The first version is usually ready in 7 to 12 business days after we receive your information and images.
