Proposal Invitation: You Send It After the Yes

Send the link once the answer is yes. Here's how to time it, what to write on the cover, and why the RSVP list should live inside the invitation.

Send the link once the answer is yes. Here's how to time it, what to write on the cover, and why the RSVP list should live inside the invitation.

Your phone is face down on the table with the message already typed. The ring is in your jacket pocket. Dinner is booked for eight. You know who you want in the room afterwards, and you also know that one careless message to the group chat gets there first: "So, when's the wedding?" — before you've even asked.

A proposal invitation is the piece that fills the room later: the drinks, the dinner, the toast with the people who actually matter. The hard part isn't the design. It's the order. The yes happens first. The link travels second.

You can finish the whole invitation weeks in advance and still keep it quiet. What leaks a proposal is never the template — it's the sending. So build it early, then hold it until the moment has passed.

  • Don't send it to the group chat before you ask. One forward, one screenshot, and the question reaches your partner before the ring does.
  • Pick one accomplice — a sister, a best friend — and send them the link the same day, timed for after the yes. They open it in front of everyone at the right moment.
  • Proposing at home? Leave the invitation open on a tablet on the table. No banner, no notification, nothing that gives the plan away.
  • Have the test link ready before the day itself. You don't want to be choosing a design over dinner.

What a proposal invitation says (without giving the moment away)

Each detail gets its own field: the label, your names, the date, the line, the place. That matters when you move from Friday to Saturday at the last minute — the layout doesn't break and nothing sits off-center. The character counter keeps your line short enough to fit on one screen.

For the cover, use a photo of the two of you, not a ring. You can add up to six photos, mark which one is the cover, and swap any of them later. Keep the label neutral on the front: "See you on 14 June" does more work than "Proposal" if someone glances at your screen.

Change the time, the place, the map, the dress code or the line, and you don't resend anything. Guests who already have the link see the updated version. You can try a design for free by editing only the cover; when you buy, every scene unlocks for 29,99 EUR, a one-time payment. The same invitation can be set up in Spanish, English, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese or German.

The surprise doesn't depend on the design. It depends on who you send the link to, and when.

The RSVP lives inside the invitation

Confirmations land in one ordered list inside the invitation itself. You write the questions — "Are you coming for a drink?" or "Saturday or Sunday?" — and people answer from their phone, in the browser, without installing anything. Nothing to chase three days later across five different chats. Pick a design, try it free and change the cover without paying. When it looks right, publish with one button and let the answers come in. It's digital, so there's no printing and no envelopes: everyone gets the link, and if someone wants a keepsake they can print a page for themselves. One invitation costs 29,99 EUR.
