Digital invitation for a boat wedding: times, pier, RSVP

You've booked a boat, and the details that matter are the unromantic ones: arrive at 17:45, cast off at 18:30, pier 4, the deck is wood. Put that in a group chat and by Friday every guest has a slightly different version of your boat wedding. A digital invitation keeps it in one link, and you can build one today from the catalogue and send it before dinner.

A digital invitation for a boat wedding holds the boarding time, the exact pier and the replies on one page your guests open in a browser. No app, no PDF, nothing printed. What follows are the decisions worth your attention, and the ones you can stop carrying around in your head.

The boarding time is the real dress code

If the boat leaves at 18:30, don't give guests one time. Give them two: at the port by 17:45, off the dock at 18:30. Each goes in its own text field, so nobody reads 18:30 and plans to step onto the pier at 18:30. Then name the pier exactly. 'Poniente Dock, pier 4' does more work than the city name ever will.

• Two times, two fields: arrival at the port and cast-off from the dock.
• The pier written in full, plus the map on the invitation, both editable after you send.
• One short line on the cover: 'The boat does not wait.' Someone reading on the train gets it in three seconds.
• A single sentence about the deck: wooden boards, and whether heels are a good idea.

The best digital invitations for a boat wedding, scene by scene

Three setups cover most boats. A classic harbour look puts the sailboat or the ferry at sunset on the cover, with a welcome scene where the boarding time is the first thing you read. A graphic nautical look runs on navy and clean type, with a scene that repeats the date so nobody turns up the weekend before. A coastal botanical look mixes leaves and rope, adds a photo of the deck and gives you a scene for the practical questions.

Every design is a chain of scenes you fill with your own words and up to six of your own photos. You choose which photo becomes the cover, and you can swap any of them later. In the free trial you edit the cover before paying anything, which is the right moment to check whether two times and a pier name still read clearly on a phone screen.

Two times, one pier, one link. Everything else on the invitation is decoration.

Seasickness, shoes and who's getting the bus

Give the boat a scene of its own, before the ceremony, with three everyday lines: eat something light, bring a thin jacket, tell the skipper if you start to feel rough. Add whether guests stay on deck or can go below, because that one sentence decides whether people pack heels or flats. Then use the confirmation form: one question asking who is coming by bus to the port and who is arriving on their own, so nobody is left standing on the quay.

What a digital invitation costs and what happens after you send it

It's 29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once, with no subscription. Choose a design, edit the cover in the free trial, pay to unlock every scene, then add your photos, music and confirmation questions and publish. After you send the link you can still change the time, the pier or the map, and guests see the updated version: nothing to reprint, nothing to resend. Replies land inside the invitation as one ordered list, so the count for the boat's catering is something you read instead of something you tally. If an older guest wants paper, print a few copies for the people who'll keep them and send the link to everyone else. Open the catalogue, pick a boat-wedding design and try your own boarding times on the cover.
