Digital invitation for an LGBTQ wedding: names, not roles

Open a wedding template and the first field asks for the groom. The second asks for the bride. If your names are Ana and Marta, or Marc and Joan, or Ale and Cris, neither box is yours, so you close the tab and go back to the group chat. A digital invitation for an LGBTQ wedding doesn't need those boxes: you pick a design, write your own wording and share the link the same day from the collection.

What usually feels wrong about an invitation isn't the artwork. It's the labels nobody questioned: how you introduce yourselves, what you ask guests to wear, what the template assumes a couple looks like. Those live in plain text fields you control, and you can rewrite them before or after sending.

Names first, labels second

Start with the two names and leave the roles out. A short label works better than a title: 'We're getting married', 'Our wedding, at last', or the joke only the two of you use. Write the names in the order you want, without 'husband' or 'wife' if those words aren't yours. Keep an eye on the character counter so the heading doesn't wrap onto three lines, and check the preview before publishing.

• Label: 'We are getting married' instead of 'The bride and groom'.
• Names: both names in the order you prefer, with no 'husband' or 'wife' required.
• Date and time: 'Saturday 12 June, 6:00 pm', short enough for the character counter.
• Dress code: 'Relaxed formal, earthy tones', without assigning clothes by gender.

A dress code that doesn't sort guests by gender

Forget 'suits for them, dresses for her'. Try 'relaxed formal', 'bohemian' or 'earth tones and comfortable shoes'. The dress code field is free text, so you write the sentence that describes your party, not a uniform for two categories of guest.

If you want one colour to lead the room, ask for it as a shared wish: 'We'd love to see you in sage green. White is for the two of us.' If you change your mind after sending, edit the field and the same link shows the new version.

The template doesn't decide who you are. You write the names, the wording and the dress code.

How much does a digital invitation for an LGBTQ wedding cost?

€29.99, paid once, with no subscription. That covers the whole invitation: every scene, the photos and the RSVP. It comes in seven languages — Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German — and the content can be set per language, which helps when one half of the guest list reads one language and the other half reads another.

What LGBTQ wedding digital invitations need to handle

It's a page with its own address, not a PDF. You share a link, a QR code or a message, and guests open it in the browser on their phone without installing an app. The name fields are free text, so 'partners', 'brides', 'husband and husband' or just your first names all fit. The RSVP lives inside the invitation with the questions you configure, and the answers land in one ordered list instead of scattered across chats. You can add up to six photos and mark which one is the cover. Pick a design, try it free and publish an invitation that doesn't correct your names. Then share the link: the wording, the time or the place can still change afterwards.
