Customize your virtual wedding invitations effortlessly

You have creative control over how your digital wedding invite looks and feels. This creative control can be intimidating for some, while most people appreciate the chance to express themselves and design an online space that genuinely reflects their story and personality as a couple. Our wedding website builder makes this process so easy to do with simple built-in apps that allow you to effortlessly upload your photos, videos, and wedding details. Alongside our more innovative features, such as our RSVP tool and QR code generator - but we'll get to those benefits later!

If you have chosen to skip a traditional paper invitation in favor of a digital one but still plan to send a physical save the date, you will find it easy to match its printed style with your wedding website. Every color on our website builder can be customized to align exactly with your theme by allowing you to input the unique HEX color numbers featured on your invite.

Good for the planet

We have spoken to so many couples recently who decided to go with paperless post for their wedding invitations not because of budget constraints or the ease of customizability, but because they're so much more environmentally friendly. Just think of all the extra paper that needs to be produced to create a full wedding invitation suite, envelopes and save-the-date cards. Not to mention the environmental impact of their production, transport, and eventual postage to your guest list.

Sending invitations via email eliminates paper waste and sidesteps the need for physical mail to be sent potentially halfway across the world! This approach should help mitigate the environmental impact of the big day itself, which can be significant, particularly for destination weddings.

Free Digital Wedding Invitation Templates

If you're anything like us, you hate starting anything from scratch. Be it a birthday message to Mom's boyfriend or putting together a fresh CV design, we always find it difficult to know where to begin. Which is why our team has put together a range of free digital wedding invitation templates for you to kickstart the design process with.

No matter your wedding theme, whether you're organizing an elegant soiree or a more rustic celebration, we have an online invitation theme to suit you. Plus, our range of templates can be easily customized by swapping colors, changing fonts, and dropping in photos to accurately reflect the feel of any wedding day theme.

Digital Wedding Invitations with RSVP Tracking

You want to know what the worst part about sending wedding invitations in the mail is? It's not the cost, it's not the time it takes to create them, it's the agonizing wait for replies...! Sure, a lot of immediate family members will likely reply quickly, but there will be a large handful who always keep you hanging. And once you have received the bulk of RSVPs back, what are you supposed to do with all of that information? We've witnessed countless spreadsheet horrorshows in the past, which have significantly hindered couples' ability to manage replies, requests, and reminders. This often results in chaos as the wedding day approaches.

Utilize electronic wedding invitations, and instead of needing to tally guest list responses in a messy spreadsheet, you'll be presented with a specially designed dashboard that presents all the requested information neatly. Our guest list app allows you to see at a glance who has confirmed, what meal choices they made, and anything else you've decided to request from your guests.

You are free to ask your wedding party anything you like within our built-in RSVP app and can even request special event confirmations from individual guests or groups of guests. This feature is ideal if you're hosting a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner, as it'll allow you to invite only close family and friends to these events instead of your entire guest list.

RSVPs sent after the deadline are also a thing of the past with our app, as it can be set to automatically switch off on a date of your choosing. While this won't necessarily stop guests from replying late, it will stop anyone from slipping through the net and thwarting your best-laid plans.

How to Send Digital Wedding Invitations with RSVPs

Let's run through a quick step-by-step checklist to show you just how easy the process of emailing wedding invitations is via our wedding website builder.

Build your online wedding invitation design

We ask for a minimal amount of detail about you and your celebration before you can start designing your wedding website. Once completed, select a template and begin tailoring the space to align with your wedding style by picking colors, fonts, and apps for your site. You can even create a unique domain for your site that echoes the vibe of the celebration.

Set up your online RSVP

Decide the information you'd like to request from guests, such as plus-ones, meal choices, accommodation requirements, allergies, and what song they want to hear on the dance floor! Then set a deadline for when you need to receive the RSVPs.

Complete or upload your guest list

You are free to create your guest list offline in a spreadsheet format and upload it to our guest list tool, or build it within our special app. Either way, you'll find it easy to map out who's invited, which side they're on, and what family they are a part of, plus a whole host of other cool features.

Preview your wedding website & RSVP

Once you're happy with the look of the site and the feel of the RSVP, it's time to test it out! Send your site to a trusted friend or family member for feedback and to check everything is working as you'd expect. This can be easily done by copying and pasting your unique domain and sending it to someone via text, email, or WhatsApp.

Send your online invites

We would recommend sending your finished wedding website out via email, along with a friendly message welcoming loved ones to the site and your future celebration. But you are free to share your site however you like via your unique domain. You could also print the domain on your save-the-dates and provide a launch date for your wedding website!

Track RSVPs

Watch the replies roll in via your online guest list and effortlessly keep track of requests. And there's no need to worry about late replies slipping through the net because nobody can respond to your RSVP after the deadline.

After the big day

Turn your paperless wedding invitation into a space for celebrating your wedding and for thanking everyone who came! Use their contact details to thank guests individually, alter the text on your site to show appreciation to everyone who attended, and share photos from the big day in your gallery. You could also request that guests upload their own photos from the wedding to your gallery.

Best Platforms for Online Wedding Invitations

Planning a modern celebration has become a lot more convenient now that there are so many email invitation companies and wedding website builders. However, with such a wealth of choice available and so many brands offering different, distinct services, it can be super challenging to work out who to invest time and money in. Which is why we believe our free wedding website builder is so incredibly useful! Because our builder provides not only a platform to create a digital wedding invitation but also includes a professional guest list tool, RSVP functionality, free invite templates, and a customizable QR code generator.

Wedding Planning Assistant essentially offers an all-in-one wedding invitation tool that sidesteps the need to use various online applications to invite guests to your big day. An experience we know couples find frustrating and time-consuming.

Digital vs Paper Wedding Invitations: Complete Comparison

Inviting guests to a wedding the traditional way via paper save-the-dates and wedding invitations sent in the mail is a very different experience from the digital alternative. To give you a true idea of how each invitation journey differs, we thought we'd break each experience down to compare convenience, eco-friendliness, cost, and speed.

Cost

Hannah & Rebeca

These guys love the tactile feel of paper stationery and the thrill of their wedding invitation dropping on the doormats of their loved ones. However, once the cost of postage, envelopes, thick paper stock, and the design process had all been added up, they realized they couldn't afford a couple of crucial elements involved in their reception. As a result, they had to significantly scale back their plans for the big day and personally mail many invitations. They found this experience immensely inconvenient and upsetting.

Dave & Ana

Our couple used our free digital wedding invitation template to create an online space for their big day and built their guest list within our connected tool. They then shared their wedding website via email, text, and AirDrop with their guests. They spent nothing, as all the tools they used were completely free, which meant they had money to spare for splurging on better food for the celebration and hiring their dream wedding band!

Eco-friendly

Hannah & Rebecca

Good-quality paper was used for their save-the-dates, envelopes, and wedding invitations. Hannah in particular felt quite guilty when they arrived, knowing their paper usage could have been avoided or reduced. Rebecca sent out most of their invitations via domestic mail, but she also sent some internationally or drove them to their location. They felt in the end that all of these additional journeys were unnecessary.

Dave & Ana

Every part of their invitation process was made digitally, and even the invites that were shared via AirDrop were made during routine visits with family and friends, rather than on special trips. Using electronic wedding invitations made Ana & Dave feel more comfortable hosting the big day itself, which they knew would result in an unavoidable cost to the environment.

Convenience & Speed

Hannah & Rebecca

It took weeks for their international guests to get their wedding invitation, and a few of their domestic guests didn't even receive theirs, as they got lost in the mail. The entire invitational process took a lot longer than they anticipated, which put further strain on their wedding planning experience and meant they had to chase some guests for their RSVP a lot sooner than they would have liked.

They also found the process of creating, maintaining, and updating their RSVP spreadsheet very draining. Hannah in particular hated the fact that every time an RSVP was received, she had to manually add in the guests' preferences, requests, and plus-one details. She made more than one mistake in doing so, which resulted in extra invites needing to be printed to rectify the error.

Dave & Ana

Our couple published and shared their wedding website while having a coffee at their local cafe, and they were delighted to discover half of their guests had RSVP'd by the time they got home! Most of their loved ones replied by the end of that week, and a handful needed to be chased up with a group message sent via email.

Their guests found the RSVP process so straightforward and convenient, including Ana's family, who are considerably older than Dave's and less technologically literate. The ease with which their guests could reply certainly accelerated the RSVP process, and the fact that their guest list was linked meant they had little to do after each response was received. Meaning they had extra time to plan their big day and, importantly, had time to switch off from planning their big day!
