Paperless Wedding Invitations: What to Send, When, and How

Video transcript

This article explains paperless wedding invitations, what to include, when to send them, and how to choose one.

A paperless wedding invitation is a digital link guests open on a phone. The reply, countdown, map, and music sit together in that one link. A printed suite spreads the same details across inserts.

A digital invitation is proper when each guest gets a complete personal invitation. Address it to names and give one invitation per household or guest. Print a few cards for anyone who would struggle with a link.

List names, date, time, venue, and a working map. Add dress code in plain words and state the reply deadline clearly. Include reception or after-party details when they are separate events.

Send paperless invitations six to eight weeks before a local wedding. For a destination wedding, send them about three months ahead. Save-the-dates go out six to twelve months ahead.

Choose a platform that keeps reply, countdown, map, and music in one link. Test it on your phone and check that the map opens. Send on a weekday evening or Sunday morning, not Friday afternoon.
