Digital invitation: free wedding trial before you pay

It's a Tuesday evening and you have a design open in a browser tab: your names typed in, half a date, a venue that still hasn't confirmed the time. You are not paying €29.99 for something you haven't seen working, and you don't have to. You can pick a design from the catalogue right now and run a free wedding invitation trial on the cover before you spend anything.

Here's what the trial actually covers, what unlocks when you pay, and how to test the whole thing on the one guest who never finds the confirm button.

What a free digital invitation trial lets you edit

In trial mode you work on the cover, and only the cover. The fields are separate — the small line at the top, the names, the date, the sentence underneath, the place — and each one has a character counter. That counter matters the moment the name you're typing is longer than the frame. The preview moves as you type: you enter a date and see it sitting in its final position without reloading the page. All of it happens in the browser editor, with nothing to install. The scenes chained after the cover stay locked until you buy.

• Type the longest name in the family into the name field and watch the counter: it tells you whether the whole thing fits or whether you need to shorten it.
• Upload one vertical photo and one horizontal one. They frame themselves, so you can see which one holds up better as the cover.
• Check the language against your guest list: the site runs in seven languages and the invitation text is set per language.
• Use the real details instead of placeholders — the actual time, the actual venue — and read them in the frame before you commit to them.

The aunt test: can your guests answer without calling you?

Put the link in front of the aunt who still phones you to ask which button to press. She installs nothing: she opens it in the browser that's already on her phone, reads it, confirms and gets on with her evening. If she does that without calling you, the invitation works. If she calls, you've found the problem while there's still time to change it.

Then repeat it on a laptop. A big screen shows whether the names and the time read well when they aren't squeezed into a phone. And decide now who follows up with the people who go quiet: the invitation doesn't send reminders, so that's a job for a person, on a channel you choose.

If the person who never finds the button can confirm on her own, the invitation works for everyone else.

How much do digital invitations cost? €29.99, once, and the link stays the same

€29.99, paid once, with every scene unlocked and nothing that expires at the end of the month. Confirmations arrive inside the invitation in an ordered list, and you set the questions on the RSVP form, so you read every answer in the same place instead of scrolling through chats. If the time moves from six to seven, you edit it and the same link shows the new version: no reprints, no second round of messages, no calling people one by one. It is digital, though — nothing printed, nothing posted. If your grandmother wants something for the drawer, print a few copies for the people who'll keep them and send the link to everyone else. Start with the cover today and publish with one button when it reads right.
