How to make a digital wedding invitation

  1. Choose a wedding invitation template that matches your colors and style.
  2. Add your names, the ceremony and reception details, a photo and your RSVP date.
  3. Send it by WhatsApp, email or a private link, to one guest or your whole list.
  4. Watch replies and plus-ones arrive in your guest list, then check guests in with a QR scan on the day.

Why couples choose online wedding invitations

Printed suites look lovely, but they cost money to print and post, and they cannot tell you who has replied. A digital wedding invitation arrives the same day, can be updated if the venue or time changes, and collects RSVPs for you.

Many couples now send a digital save the date months ahead and a full online wedding invitation 6 to 10 weeks before the day. Both can use the same design, so everything feels like one set.

Wedding invitation wording that works

Keep the essentials clear: who is getting married, the date and time, the venue, the dress code and the date you need replies by. Add a short line for children, gifts or accommodation if it matters to your guests, and leave long details for a wedding page or a follow-up message.

Wedding invitation wording examples

Hosted by the bride's parents (traditional): "Mr and Mrs Robert Hughes request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Emily to James Carter. Saturday 12 September 2026 at 2 pm, St Mary's Church, Oakville. Reception to follow." Use "the honour of your presence" for a religious ceremony and "the pleasure of your company" for a civil ceremony or reception.

Hosted by both families: "Together with their families, Hannah Lee and Marcus Brown invite you to celebrate their wedding on Saturday 3 October at 4 pm, The Grand Barn, Kelowna. Dinner and dancing to follow."

Hosted by the couple: "We're getting married! Join Zara and Tom for the ceremony, dinner and a lot of dancing on Friday 21 May at 3:30 pm, Hatfield House. Please reply by 16 April."

Adults only: "We love your little ones, but our day will be adults only. We hope this gives you a night off to celebrate with us." Address the invitation to the adults by name, so the guest list and the RSVP match.

Destination wedding: "Join us in Tulum for our wedding on Saturday 6 March. Please reply by 1 December so we can confirm rooms, and see the travel notes below for flights and hotels."

E wedding invitations: what to send and when

An e wedding invitation is the same invitation you would post, sent as a link instead. Guests open it on their phone, see the design, the timings, a map and your dress code, and reply in a couple of taps. Couples in the US, Canada and the UK now send one design to everyone: by email to older relatives, by WhatsApp or text to friends, and as a link in the family group chat.

A simple order works for most weddings: a digital save the date 6 to 12 months ahead, the online wedding invitation 6 to 10 weeks before, one reminder a week before the RSVP deadline, and a short update in the last week with parking, timings and the weather plan. Because the invitation is a link, a changed start time or a new shuttle stop reaches every guest without reprinting anything.

Are the wedding invitation templates free?

Yes. Every account starts on a free plan with free templates. Premium designs and higher guest limits are available on paid plans when you need them.

Is it acceptable to send wedding invitations by email or WhatsApp?

Yes, and it is now common for weddings of every size. Send a personal message with the link rather than a group blast, and phone any older relatives who may not check their messages, so nobody misses it.

What is an e wedding invitation?

It is a digital wedding invitation sent as a link by email, WhatsApp or text. It looks like a designed card, but it also collects RSVPs, plus-ones and notes from guests, and you can update the details after sending.

How do I word a wedding invitation from the couple instead of the parents?

Start with your names, for example "Together with their families, Hannah and Marcus invite you to their wedding", then give the date, time, venue and reply-by date. It is warm, includes both families and works whoever is paying.

How far in advance should I send wedding invitations?

Send save the dates 6 to 12 months ahead and the invitation 6 to 10 weeks before the wedding. Set your RSVP deadline about 3 to 4 weeks before the day so you can confirm numbers with your venue.

Can guests RSVP without creating an account?

Yes. Guests open your invitation from a link and reply in a few taps. You see every answer in your guest list straight away.

Can I send the same invitation by WhatsApp and email?

Yes. Share it by WhatsApp, email or a link, and every reply still arrives in the same guest list.
