The basics
What is a digital invitation?
A digital invitation is an invitation your guests open on a screen instead of receiving on paper. Ours are animated, website-style pages, each with its own private link.
How is this different from an invitation video or an image?
A video or an image is a file that gets sent around. Ours is a small web page that guests open from a link. It scrolls, animates gently, and shows the date, place and message as real text, so addresses can be copied and screen readers can read it.
How do guests open it?
Guests tap the link you send them. It opens in the browser on their phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Which devices and browsers does it work on?
Any current browser on a phone, tablet or computer. The invitation is designed for phone screens first and scales up neatly for larger ones.
What happens for guests who prefer less motion?
The animation switches off for anyone who has reduced motion turned on in their device settings. They see the same content, without the movement.
Privacy and sharing
Is my invitation link private?
Each invitation lives at its own link that is not listed on this site and is hidden from search engines. Anyone who has the link can open it, so share it only with the people you invite.
Can search engines find my invitation?
No. Invitation pages are marked so search engines do not index them, and they are not listed in the sitemap.
Do invitation pages track my guests?
No. Invitation pages do not load advertising or tracking scripts.
How do I send the link?
Paste it into any message: text, WhatsApp, email or a social media chat. It is an ordinary web link, so it works wherever links work.
Ordering
How do I order?
Choose a design in our Etsy shop and place your order there. Then send us the details for your invitation, and we build it and send you the link.
What details do you need from me?
The names, the date and time, the venue and its address, and the message you would like your guests to read. Each design shows exactly which details it uses.
Can I see an invitation before I buy?
Yes. Open the live Ivory example on this site and scroll through a real invitation on your own phone.
How much does it cost?
The price of every design is shown on its Etsy listing, so you know what you will pay before you order.
Which occasions are digital invitations good for?
Weddings, save the dates, birthdays, baby showers, engagements, anniversaries and other celebrations.
Which language are the invitations in?
Everything is written in English.
