Weddings are among the most beautiful moments that two partners may experience in their lives. And everything matters to make the day remarkable. There has been a norm of sending wedding invitations made of paper for many years but e-vites are the latest trends. Not only they are environment-friendly and cost-effective but they also provide unparalleled convenience and flexibility. As I have established today, anyone can make gorgeous electronic wedding invites that will suit personal tastes and wedding themes. This guide will help you to understand how to get through the creation of lovely and easily memorable e-vites.

Why Choose Electronic Wedding Invitations?

That’s why it’s necessary to discuss the advantages of electronic wedding invitations before getting to how it is done. First of all, using e-vites saves time and effort. You can invite all your guests and get their responses as quickly as it takes to make a few clicks. Rather than waiting for the mail to arrive, the unknown to be discovered or lost in a threadbare envelope, there is no time for such amenities.

Also, electronic invitations are an environment-friendly option. Paper invitation is normally done in sets where there are several papers, envelopes, and printing papers all of which go to waste. Paper e-invitations have saved us the time for printing the cards which are expensive and bad for the environment.

Last but not least, the use of electronic wedding invitations is inexpensive. It means that you are not required to spend money on printing, or postage. Or other materials outside your normal working supplies.

Choosing the Right Platform

The first step in producing eye-catching electronic invitations for your wedding is to ensure you choose the right platform to use. Wedding e-invitations are popular with numerous services focused on designing such invitations. Options are easily available on the Internet. Several sites that people use are Paperless Post, Green Elope, and Evite among others.

When selecting the platform, one needs to take into consideration the cost constraints and style. While some services provide those templates free of charge, there are others with premium templates. You can access it for a fee. It is recommended to choose software that lets you change font types, colors, and structure according to the wedding theme.

Besides, it should be claimed that the possibility of choosing the platform’s main function in detail. That provides design flexibility, as well as the availability of features for tracking responses to invitations. Also for the list of guests, and sending updates or reminders to them. 

Designing Your Invitation

This is where it begins to get fun. It is fun designing your electronic wedding invitation. The wonderful thing about e-invitations is that there are no constraints to what you can come up with. While general invitations may be restricted by the cost of printing, paper type, color, and other things. But with e-vites, you can create great fun with color combinations, fonts, motions, and even music.

First, you should decide on a design for your invitation that suits the mood and theme of the wedding you are having. No matter if you are having a cocktail event, or this can be an official black-tie event. To avoid any distraction from their message, professionals should go with a traditional layout. Choose smooth and fancy lettering and reserved soft colors. If, for instance, your wedding is not very formal or elegant, it is desirable to have a light eccentric style with elements of nature.

Writing the Perfect Message

For as much as the appearance of the invite, the words written in an electronic invitation are equally as significant. Make sure your word choice best matches the overall mood of your wedding you have planned appropriately. For formal weddings, there are some of the words that should be used. These words include; “You are cordially requested” or “It is a pleasure to invite you”. In case the occasion is informal, say things like ‘Come prepare to be loved’ or ‘Get ready to party with us’ ‘.

Make sure your message is a complete one and covers all that has been set, for instance, date, time, place, and dress code if any. Another plus, with e-vites, you can also provide links to your website, where your registry is. Or even a map of the location. Such technologies help save space in newspapers by providing easy access to more information for guests. 

Sending and Tracking Your Invitations

Another reason why electronic wedding invitations are preferred is that they make tracking RSVPs a very easy process. After you have set your design and your message, share the invitation to the guest list through the use of a text or email. There are lots of tools to choose from in which you’re able to input more complex details in the invitation for each guest.

Again, most e-vite services feature a tracking system. That helps you know who has opened the invitation, and who has RSVP. And whether there are people who may need a follow-up. This renders unnecessary the need to check for responses by eye. Which in turn helps when organizing the responses as your big day comes.

Follow-Up and Thank-You Notes

When using electronic invitations do not forget to follow up with your guests as deemed necessary. So when someone has not responded by the time the RSVP date is up, try to use the platform to kindly remind them. The advantage of e-vites is that they eliminate this barrier. Because you are always able to communicate with the guests instantly.

Conclusion

Designing a nice-looking e-invite for the wedding is one entertaining way of organizing the special occasion. From their flexibility in choices, simplicity, and non-harming nature to the environment, e-vites are best. They are steadily becoming the favorite amongst the couples of today. Selecting the correct platform, creating custom invites, and utilizing technology to track the responses make your job easy. And it and make a style statement.
