Digital invitation for your London civil wedding

Your register office slot is 11:00. The pub doesn't open until 12:30, the first toast is at 15:00, and half your guests are still hunting for two addresses they heard once, in a voice note. A digital invitation for a London civil wedding keeps both addresses, both times and the map in a single link — you can build it and send it today from the catalogue.

The civil part is short. The day around it isn't. You sign at 11:00, someone takes photos on the steps, and by 15:00 you're standing in the pub with a pint. Most civil wedding invitations in London have to do the same job twice: point people to the register office, then move them across town without you answering the same question thirty times.

A digital invitation for a London civil wedding: register office, then pub

An invitation for a civil wedding works like a route, in order. Register office first — full building name and street — then the pub, with a time attached to each. If the ceremony is at 11:00, write down when the pub opens. Nobody wants to stand outside a closed door holding a bouquet. Put the pub's map on the invitation as well, not only the register office one: half your guests will be looking it up one-handed on the bus.

• Register office time and first-toast time, each with its full address.
• One question in the RSVP: ceremony, pub, or both?
• The dress code in five words, not three lines.
• Music you picked yourselves and one short line that sounds like you.

Photos choose the design, not the other way round

The invitation takes up to six photos of your own — one cover, the rest decorative — and each one frames itself. Pick the register office shot first, then choose the design around it. A backlit doorway wants a light background; a dark pub at night wants a dark one. The cover sets the tone for everything behind it.

You can mark which photo is the cover and replace any shot after you've sent the invitation. If the pub repaints its front next month, swap the picture: the link stays the same, and you save yourself a second round of messages.

Two addresses, two times, one link that survives every change you make.

Replies in a list, not a WhatsApp thread

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation itself, in an ordered list, so you stop chasing 'I'll let you know' replies. Set the questions yourself — one line like 'ceremony, pub, or both?' gets more answers than five checkboxes. And because this is a web page for your event, not a PDF or an image, guests open the link in any browser on any phone with no app to install; if you have family abroad, the content can be set up in more than one language. €29.99 for the invitation, paid once, no subscription, and you can try the design free before you buy. If someone in the family will want something to keep in a drawer, the honest answer is a mixed run: the link for everyone, a few printed copies for the ones who'll frame it. Start with the 11:00 and the pub's opening time, and you'll have the whole thing ready in an afternoon.
