Choosing how to invite your guests is a surprisingly big decision. Here's how we'd think it through — gently, and without the sales pitch.
Paper has a romance to it
There's no denying the feel of a thick card in an envelope. If a printed keepsake matters to you, keep it — many couples send a small paper "save the date" and handle the details digitally.
Where digital quietly wins
For everything after the first impression, a digital invitation tends to make life easier:
- Changes are instant. A venue time moves, a detail updates — you edit once, and every guest sees the latest version. No reprints.
- RSVPs collect themselves. Instead of chasing replies, they arrive in one tidy list with guest counts and notes.
- Guests need nothing. One link, opened on any phone. No app, no account, no friction.
- It travels well. Share it in a message, a group chat, or a QR code printed on a paper card.
A simple rule of thumb
If a piece of information might change, or you need a reply to it, let it live online. If it's purely sentimental, paper is a lovely place for it. Some of the happiest weddings we've seen do both.
Whatever you choose, make it feel like you — that's the part guests remember.
