Digital invitation: wedding ceremony and reception on two days

You put both dates on one card: Friday at the register office, Saturday at the party. Then your aunt phones to ask which morning the ceremony is on, and your cousin has already booked a train for the wrong day. When the wedding ceremony and the reception fall on different days, one date field can't hold them both. A Digital invitation can: choose a design from the collection, build one scene for Friday and another for Saturday, and send the link the same day you buy it.

The card isn't the problem. The format is. Printed paper gives you one frame, one date, one map, and your guests fill in the gaps themselves. Two days need two of everything — and everyone has to see both before they book a flight or ask for time off work.

Two dates on one card: the mistake you start with

It usually begins with a single line: 'Friday 12 and Saturday 13'. Half the guest list reads the first date and stops. They turn up at the register office in a suit on Saturday morning to a locked door. Give each day its own line, spell out the day of the week, and say who is invited to what — plenty of people will only come to one of the two, and that is fine.

• Give each day its own date, time and full address, with its own map — not just the venue you know by heart.
• Write the dress code twice. Friday and Saturday rarely want the same outfit.
• Ask for confirmation per day in the form, so a yes tells you which day it belongs to.
• Add one line saying there are two days and that guests can come to only one.

Times, dress codes and maps don't carry over from Friday to Saturday

Friday at 7pm at the register office and Saturday at 2pm at the venue are two different plans. One time on the card sends half your guests to the wrong address on the wrong day. The dress code shifts too: a jacket on Friday, a long dress on Saturday. Written into the same paragraph, someone turns up in a blazer by the pool.

Each day also needs its own map. Pasting the register office pin into the party block is the costliest mistake to fix once invitations are out — with printed cards it means a reprint and a second round of envelopes.

Two days are not one event with two dates. They are two scenes, and each one needs its own time, place and map.

A Digital invitation: two days, one link

Inside a Digital invitation, each day is its own scene: one for the Friday ceremony, one for the Saturday party, each with its own date, time, place and map. You share one link, a QR code or a message. Guests open it in the browser on their phone — nothing to install — and confirm from the same page, so the answers arrive per day and you know what to book. The texts are edited field by field (heading, names, date, phrase, place) with a live preview, and you can change a time or a venue after sending: the link stays the same and guests see the updated version. It's 29.99 EUR, one payment, no subscription. Decide how you'll tell two days before you send anything, pick a design and try it free — you can have Friday and Saturday ready today.
