Digital Invitation for an Accessible Wedding: What to Say

Two weeks before the wedding, your cousin messages you: the courtyard where dinner is served has three steps, and her father walks with a stick. You know the venue. You just never wrote it down anywhere he would see it. An accessible wedding invitation starts weeks before anyone arrives, not on the day with someone standing at the bottom of a staircase. A Digital invitation carries the note in the same link as the date and the map, and you can build and send yours today: pick a design from the collection, edit the scenes in your browser, share the link.

Nobody has to announce anything in front of a hundred guests. You write the route once, and the person who needs it reads it at home, on their own phone, before deciding what shoes to pack and which door to use.

Say the detail, not the label

The difference is small and it decides whether someone asks you a question or quietly struggles on the day. “Main entrance on the side street, no steps, 40 metres from the car park” is useful to everyone. “Do you have reduced mobility?” asks a guest to hand over their medical history. Walk the day in order and name every point: car park, entrance, ceremony, table, toilets, dance floor. If one of them is gravel, grass or a single loose step, that detail decides the route someone takes with a stick.

• “Entrance on the side street, no steps, 40 m from the car park” written into the arrival scene.
• Two seats by the aisle, held with a name card on them before the first guest sits down.
• The exact adapted toilet, and the way to it from the dance floor.
• One direct contact — phone or message — for anyone who would rather explain in private.

How to create an accessible digital wedding invitation

Ask in the positive, with closed options. “Shall we keep a seat by the aisle for you?” takes two seconds to answer. “Would you rather sit at a table with no steps?” takes two seconds. “Please detail your condition” never gets answered. Leave one door open at the end of the RSVP: if you would rather not write it down, call or message me on this number. You only need to know what makes the day comfortable for that person, and you ask once, with respect.

An accessible digital wedding invitation also takes the chasing out of it. Confirmations arrive inside the invitation in one ordered list, so you are not scrolling through group chats on the Friday. The RSVP questions are yours to set: if nobody has told you whether they are bringing a wheelchair, you reword the question and the answers land in the same place. Guests install nothing. They open the link on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, which is how the relatives who never joined the family chat end up replying.

An accessible wedding is decided in the invitation, not at the bottom of the stairs.

Your Digital invitation changes without a resend

If the adapted toilet turns out to be in building B and not A, you edit that scene and the link stays the same. Nobody compares versions or hunts for the right PDF. Change the time, the place or the map and your guests open the link and read the updated version — no fresh envelopes, no “ignore my last message”. Add up to six of your own photos to make the route recognisable: the front door, the step-free entrance, the corridor to the lift. One picture of the real walk saves more phone calls than a paragraph.

The site runs in seven languages — Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German — and the invitation content can be set per language. If you have guests flying in, they read the access notes themselves instead of holding a phone up to a translation app in the taxi.

Digital invitations for a wedding cost 29.99 EUR, one payment, no subscription, and they go out as a link — so the step-free entrance, the spare seat and the adapted toilet are written down before the first toast rather than explained at the door. If an uncle wants paper, print two copies for the people who keep them; everyone else uses the link. Open the collection, try the design for free and get the access notes in this week, while you can still remember which door has the step.
