Digital Wedding Invitation Checklist: Yes to Last Dance

It's Sunday morning and the date is still provisional. Your phone holds a note with four versions of the same Saturday in June, a screenshot of the venue and a message from your mum asking who's actually coming. You've opened two templates and closed both tabs. That isn't a planning problem. It's an order problem.

A digital wedding invitation is one web page with the date, the venue and the RSVP form inside it, shared as a link. Done in the right order it takes an afternoon. Done in the wrong order you spend September rewriting the same message to twenty people.

The digital wedding invitation checklist: date and list before design

Write the date, the time and the address somewhere shared before you touch the editor. If the time moves in August, you edit the invitation and the link stays exactly the same: no reprints, no second round of messages.

• Date, time and address written the same way on the invitation and on the map. One version, not three.
• Real names instead of shorthand. 'The cousins from Bilbao' won't tell you anything, because the confirmation list is built from what each guest types.
• Guests in Germany or France? Decide now: the site runs in seven languages and the invitation content can be set per language.
• The dress code, settled early. If it stays in the group chat and never reaches the invitation, someone turns up in jeans.

Pick the template by style, not by trend

Filter the collection by style and choose the one that matches the venue. A long dinner in a courtyard and a cocktail in a hotel ballroom are not the same scene, and the invitation is where guests find out which one they're invited to.

Try it free first. In test mode you edit the cover at no cost; when you buy, for 29.99 EUR in one payment and no subscription, every scene unlocks. Read the scene names before committing: entrance, patio, promises, long dinner, last dance. Each one has its own text fields and photo slots, so the design has to fit the photos you actually have.

An invitation you can edit isn't finished when you send it. It's finished when the last guest replies.

The send: one link, one QR, one clear message

Guests open the link in any browser and answer from their phone. Nothing to install, nothing to print. Send it to the family group and, privately, to the two people who never read the family group.

Confirmations and reminders, week by week

Set up your RSVP questions before you publish: what you ask is what you get back, and the answers arrive in a single list inside the invitation. Seven days after sending, look at who's missing and write the reminder yourself with the link attached. There are no automatic sends, so the calendar is yours.

Five days before your RSVP deadline, edit the invitation text to remind people of the date. Same link, same guests, nothing resent: they just see the updated version. Close the list, keep the template and let the link do the work. Try it free, then publish once the date is firm.
