Digital invitation for a civil wedding at the town hall

It's 11:20 on a Tuesday and half your guests are still on the wrong side of the square. The town hall has two entrances, the ceremony is in Room 2 on the first floor, and your cousin is sitting on the steps of the building next door because that is where a printed map pointed her. A civil wedding at the town hall is a slot with a time attached, and a digital invitation has to carry that time exactly.

You can fix all of that before you send anything. Pick a design, fill in the fields, publish and share the link today: a digital invitation from the Send The Joy catalogue is a web page for your event, not a PDF. Guests open it in any browser, no app to install, and their replies land inside the invitation in one ordered list. One payment of 29.99 EUR, no subscription, up to six of your own photos, and the text can be set in seven languages for the family flying in.

What goes on a Digital invitation for a civil wedding at the town hall

A town hall ceremony gives you facts, not moods: a time, a room, a building, a door. Type those in first, word for word as the register office gave them to you. Then add the part your guests actually plan their day around, which is what happens after the ceremony and where.

• The exact time and room the town hall gave you: 11:30, Room 2. Not 'in the morning'.
• The full address, the right entrance and a map, so nobody waits at the main steps of the wrong building.
• What comes afterwards: drinks, lunch or a toast at home, with the start time and whether guests can come straight there without sitting through the ceremony.
• Dress code in one line: 'light suits, morning ceremony'.
• The RSVP deadline and the questions you want in the confirmation form.

How to send digital invitations for a civil wedding on time

The town hall fixes the date, not you. So the link should go out as soon as the day is confirmed, because people need to book leave, find a train and sort out childcare. Four or five weeks before is a sensible margin for a morning ceremony with a meal afterwards. If it's August, add a week: everyone else is on holiday too.

Three days before, send a WhatsApp with the same link. Not a chase for replies, just a nudge so the person who confirmed in January doesn't turn up at 10 instead of 11:30.

Your wedding date belongs to the town hall. Your invitation should be the one thing that never arrives late.

Digital invitation or paper: what about the guest who wants something to hold

Digital means nothing gets printed or posted. Link for everyone, and if one person really wants paper, two or three printed copies for them and no more. Your guests need a phone, a tablet or a computer with a connection, and for the aunt who doesn't do email a phone call still works. You can try it before paying: in test mode you edit the cover without buying anything, and buying unlocks every scene of the invitation.

If the town hall changes the time, your link is already fixed

Slots move. If they push you from 12:00 to 13:00, you change the hour in the editor and the same link shows the new version. Nobody reprints an envelope or rings round the family one by one. It works the same for the venue: a different room or a different register office means new text and a new map pin, and still nothing gets resent. So choose a design, enter your details and publish your digital invitation today. Keep paper only for the two or three people who will genuinely keep it.
