It is very likely that, if you are planning your wedding, you will want to evaluate all the options available for each service in the field. When it comes to invitations, you will mainly find two modalities: printed and/or digital. In this note, we are going to tell you what are the benefits of choosing digital invitations for your wedding:

(1) You save money and resources.

Digital invitations do not need to be printed: After you have finalized your invitation from many Free online invitation templates, they can be shared with your guests online. they are then viewed online, so you do not incur printing costs. In addition, by not using paper, you contribute to the care of environmental resources.

(2) You save time and/or shipping costs.

Digital invitations are sent by WhatsApp and/or email. It is super convenient for the couple, who in a couple of clicks and in a few minutes delivers all the invitations. Handing out physical cards takes time and in the month before the big day (when things start to come together) any task that one can “save” is a relief!

From the guests' side, it is also convenient and practical to receive invitations in this way, because nowadays everything happens through the cell phone (work, social life, shopping, everything!), why not also the invitations? So when the question arises of “when was it?” “Where was it?” they have it close at hand on WhatsApp.

(3) And more benefits if, in addition to being digital, your invitations are interactive :

Interactive invitations include buttons with links to detailed information about your event: map; RSVP/ RSVP; gifts and more options! And in this way, benefits continue to add up for you and your guests:

  • RSVP/ online confirmation of attendance: 

    From the “RSVP” or “Confirm your attendance” button, your guests access a form in which they respond if they are coming or not, if they will do so accompanied or not (this option is added or removed at the bride and groom's discretion), including if they have any limitations with the menu (which can be very practical if you hire a catering that offers alternatives for celiacs, diabetics or other types of special cases). And the best part: the couple can access the updated answers at any time in an Excel in the cloud which is very easy, and very practical for both parties!

  • Information about the gifts is detailed in a separate link: 

    When considering the "Gifts" or "Do you wish to give us a gift?" button, you face two choices: if you've assembled or already created a gift list with a supplier in the sector, the invitation button can link guests directly to your list on the supplier's platform. In contrast, if you opt to share bank account details for gifts, this button directs guests to a page displaying comprehensive information for their convenience.

  • Map of the ceremony and/or party: 

    From the “Map” button, your guests can see the location of the place where the ceremony and/or party will be; there is even the possibility of tracing the path that indicates how to get from one point to the other. Depending on the cell phone from which you access this invitation option (and the applications you have installed), you can even connect from there to Google to receive GPS directions. Super practical for your guests, and for you, who will save you several questions like “How do I get there?” on one of the most important days of your life!!
