How to send digital wedding invitations
a practical guide.

Start with the look. In Vowly Event, weddings have four dedicated themes — Daylight, Golden Hour, Blue Hour and Nocturne — each with its own typography, palette and photo treatment, from a bright morning-ceremony feel to a candlelit evening one. Pick the one closest to your wedding's mood, then add your own photo if you want the invitation to open with the two of you.

A guided setup asks for the essentials — your names, the date, the ceremony venue — and builds the invitation page on the spot. Most couples have a presentable page in a few minutes; you can keep refining the wording and details at any point, even after sending, because the page is live rather than printed.

Digital wording follows the same rules as printed wording: name the hosts, name the couple, state the date, time and place, and say how to respond. The difference is that you no longer need to squeeze everything onto one card. Keep the invitation itself short and elegant, and move the practical details — schedule, directions, hotel suggestions, dress code — onto the guest page that sits behind the invitation.

Write in the language your guests actually speak. Vowly Event serves the invitation and RSVP flow in nine languages, so a guest in Berlin can respond in German while your family responds in English or Turkish, all on the same event.

Every event gets a personal link you can send anywhere guests already are: WhatsApp, iMessage, email, a family group chat. There is no address-book import to fight with — you share the link the way you'd share anything else.

If you love paper, you don't have to give it up. Each invitation also comes with a print-ready QR code. Put it on your printed cards, and every scan opens the live invitation — so the paper stays beautiful and the details stay current. If the venue or time changes after the cards are posted, the page updates and nobody is holding stale information.

Guests tap the link, read the details and reply with their party size and any dietary notes. Responses land in your dashboard the moment they're sent, so you always know your live headcount. Guests can also update or cancel their reply later from the same device, which keeps your numbers honest right up to the day.

Give people a deadline. Set the RSVP cut-off a few weeks before the wedding: late enough that everyone has their plans, early enough that the caterer and the seating plan get final numbers. You can also cap capacity and add a PIN if the celebration is invite-only.

For everything that comes after the yes — table planning, menu and dietary overview, a budget, a gift registry — the same event carries a planning studio, so the RSVP list flows straight into the seating chart instead of into a spreadsheet.

The invitation is only the front door. Behind it, your guests get a full event page: the day's schedule, a map and directions, places to stay, a Q&A section for the questions everyone asks, a photo gallery with moderation, and a guest book. One link answers everything, in the guest's own language.

Planning with someone? Invite your partner, a family member or a wedding planner to the event with edit or view access, so the guest list and the plan stay in one place instead of in forwarded screenshots.
