So, the wedding date has been set. The next step is to invite guests and create a guest list. Questions arise whether it is necessary to print invitations or buy ready-made cards. I would like to invite you outside the box. And, of course, the invitation should be in the style and concept of the wedding. Nowadays, online invitations are becoming a new solution in invitation format.
Of course, this type of invitation has been very popular lately, and many couples want to invite guests “contactlessly.” However, newlyweds have questions and doubts - whether this format is suitable for them, how expensive and troublesome it is, how long it will take to produce. If you have these questions, read on.
PAPERLESS POST
Paperless post has been the absolute leader in the e-invitation market for almost a decade. A service used by the Duchess of Cambridge herself.
On the site, the user is given the opportunity to create his own design, and after sending it to the specified recipients, it will be possible to track the movement of the treasured envelope on the Internet. The offered options for drawing up an invitation are so extensive that there is no longer any doubt about using the electronic service. At the same time, the virtual paper looks just like the real thing, and the text turns out to be written in an elegant font with curls.
Types of invitations
The essence of such invitations is to be sent to a gadget (mobile, PC, tablet). There are several types of electronic invitations.
Electronic card : a colorful picture with calligraphic text indicating the place, time and names of the guests. It can be done in any text or graphics editor on your computer or mobile device. For design, images found on the Internet, photographs of the couple, and stylistic elements are used.
Photo collage : usually this is a specially prepared series of photographs in the Love Story format mixed with romantic pictures and inscriptions. Basic information is usually placed in the center of the composition on a text card in the form: “We are waiting for you at __ o’clock at __ address.”
Slideshow : wedding invitation in the format of a love story with a photo of the couple, interspersed with beautiful words set to a melody. The first or last slide is made informational (the time and place are indicated). In such wedding invitations, you can even insert a link to a map indicating the location of the celebration.
Video invitation : you can record a video message to guests yourself or hire an operator who will film and edit the necessary video. Here you can place: Love Story photographs, a personal message to the invitee, video clips from romantic moments in movies and cartoons, animated flashes, fireworks, music.
Wedding invitation as a website page : You can create a website dedicated to your wedding day. One of the pages of the site will be an invitation, a link to which is sent to guests. It contains all the information. And by going to the site, guests can watch videos and photos of you, watch videos of the preparation process, mark and comment on everything that is there.
After the wedding, in order not to send photos and videos to everyone, you can post them here, and everyone who has access will download the material.
A website can be made using available online designers, where ready-made design and filling templates are located.
Wedding Invitations - The most creative couples don't have to waste time designing templates and formatting headings. You can organize an online conference, bringing together family and friends to broadcast the good news live. Having recorded such a request, you can leave it available via a link for those who wish to view it again and clarify the date, time, and place.
GREENVELOPE
Save time, save trees, save money - this is exactly the main motto of the Greenvelope service. Over almost 10 years of existence, a full-fledged version has been developed for creating your own exclusive invitation and a simplified version for Email/SMS mailings in a smartphone application.
For lovers of everything eco-friendly, the Greenvelope website provides statistics on how their work saves the environment, which, of course, immediately encourages interaction with this service.

Compatibility with the style of the celebration
An electronic card for guests can be created to suit any wedding style; only the general design, font and images in the photographs of the newlyweds will change. For a wedding invitation in the classic version, a light background is chosen, with an image of two wedding rings, doves or hearts placed in the corner.
The desired text is created in the empty area; if desired, you can play with the font - add or remove shadows, apply a gradient, etc. If there is free space around the edges, choose a neutral pattern several tones darker than the background.
For a wedding in the style of the famous film, there are two options for creating an electronic card. You can place a romantic still frame from this picture or an image from its poster on it, correcting the date, time and place of the premiere to the details of your own celebration. If this seems too simple a solution, there is another option - dress in the style of the characters from the film, take a photo and make the photo the basis of the invitations, with text on top.
For all other styles, invitation cards are drawn up in the same way. A background of a suitable shade is taken as a basis, and images of elements characteristic of the theme are arranged in a space free from text. For example, for a wedding in vintage style, these are antiques; for retro, vinyl records, a typewriter or a car of the last century.
