What Online Invitations Are Actually Free for a Wedding

Video transcript

Free online wedding invitations come with conditions, so it helps to know exactly what costs nothing before you begin.

Creating a design can be free, but sharing or tracking replies may fall under a separate step. Read the sharing and tracking section before you spend an evening on the design.

Make a short list of what you need, then compare each option against it. Most differences show up in the details rather than the headline.

Send the invitation to two or three trusted people first. This shows how the link opens on different phones and whether the reply form is clear.

The biggest surprises are usually printing, postage and a separate reply tool, not the online invitation itself. Plan for them early, so they do not catch you off guard.

Read what happens when your guest list grows past the first few names. Also check how long the page stays live after the wedding date.

Start with the free first invitation on onlivita to test the layout and the reply form.
