Animated christening invitation
Your child’s name appears gently, then the date, the church, the lunch venue with its map, and the names of the godfather and godmother. Your family replies online, with adults and children counted separately: enough to book the restaurant without chasing everyone.

View the demoWhat should go on a christening invitation?
The child’s name, the date and time of the ceremony, the address of the church, the venue for the meal, the names of the godfather and godmother, and a reply-by date. The digital christening invitation sets out the ceremony and the meal in the programme, shows the map of the main venue and counts adults and children separately.
Civil or religious christening
The design suits both: simply change the introductory line and the programme. For a civil naming ceremony, give the town hall instead of the church.

Frequently asked questions
Can the invitation show both the church and the venue for the meal?
Yes: you list the ceremony and the meal in the hour-by-hour programme, and the main venue with its Google Maps map and one-click directions. The highlighted information section can be used to introduce the godfather and godmother.
How do I count the guests for a christening or a communion?
Turn on online replies: each family says whether they are coming, the number of adults and children counted separately, and their allergies. You set a deadline and export the list for the restaurant or the caterer.
Is the design suitable for a civil naming ceremony, a profession of faith or a confirmation?
Yes. The introductory phrase is free: “Christening of”, “Civil naming ceremony of”, “First Communion of”, “Profession of faith of”, “Confirmation of”. You can also adapt the programme and the venue (town hall, church, hall).
How do I create an animated invitation?
In three steps: 1) you choose a design on joli-mot.fr and order it; 2) you receive the link to your online editor by email, where you enter names, date, venue and text, and set the font, colours and photo — allow 5 to 10 minutes, from a phone or a computer; 3) you copy the link to your page or its QR code and send it. No software, no Canva.
Can I edit the invitation after sending it?
Yes, as often as you like for 24 months. The link sent to your guests never changes: if the time of the ceremony moves or you add the programme later, you just correct it in the editor and everyone sees the updated page.
