It's 11:07 p.m. the night before your wedding. Your phone lights up: 'Is the hotel the one by the roundabout? Do we need to say your names at reception?' You answer. Then another cousin asks the same. If wedding accommodation on a digital invitation is buried in six different messages, you will spend the morning copying and pasting. Put it on a Digital invitation instead, with one scene guests can open on their phone. You can build and send it today from the catalogue, with no app for them to install.

The fix is not a longer email. It is a short Where to sleep scene that sits right after the venue, with two or three hotels and the details that stop questions. Guests read it when they are already thinking about the trip, not after scrolling past dress code and travel details.

How to add wedding accommodation to your digital invitation

Place the Where to sleep scene directly after the venue scene. In the text field, write the hotel name and address as a taxi driver would search them. Keep the map pointing at the venue so guests see straight away whether the hotel is a short walk or a drive. Then cut the list: two or three options with a real photo of the front door beat twenty links nobody opens. If a hotel has two entrances, say which one to use.

  • Hotel name and full address, written exactly as a taxi driver would search them.
  • Walking time to the venue in minutes, not kilometres or miles.
  • Check-in and check-out times in plain numbers, plus whether parking is free or paid.
  • One real photo of the front of the hotel or a room, and the date by which guests should book.

What guests actually read on digital invitations: three details, not twenty

Three options are enough: one that is five minutes from the venue, one cheaper on the edge of town, one that suits friends with children. Next to each name, keep three details only: distance to the venue, parking, and the latest check-in time. Rates that expire are a trap. If the price changes, guests will call the hotel anyway, and you avoid updating numbers every week. Nobody needs a spreadsheet.

The 11 p.m. question is nearly always the same: when can we check in? Write check-in and check-out times in one line. If you have agreed a room block, say whether guests must mention the wedding when booking and the date the rooms are released. Add a single line for anyone arriving by train or plane: nearest station or airport, and how long it takes to reach the venue. That line saves a phone call when someone lands and does not know whether to take a taxi or a train.

One clear accommodation scene replaces a hundred copy-paste replies.

Why a Digital invitation handles this better

A Digital invitation is a web page, not a PDF attachment. The accommodation scene opens in the browser, with your photos and map, and guests do not install anything. RSVPs arrive inside the same invitation, so you see who is coming and who needs a bed in one list. If a hotel closes or the date moves, edit the text and the same link shows the new version; nobody has to resend a thing. The price is 29.99 EUR, one payment, no subscription, with the site in seven languages and invitation content configurable per language. Set up the scene now and share one link with everyone.
