4 websites for sending paperless wedding invitations

Getting ready to send out your wedding invitations?

There are two ways to do this: via traditional postal wedding invitations or via e-vites and wedding websites. And of course, there are pros and cons to both methods of sending wedding invites.

If you’re thinking about setting up a wedding website, and sending wedding invitations via email, let’s look at some of the most popular sites used by couples.

Reasons to Use E-Invites

• Reduce Paper Admin: Paperless online invites and wedding websites are a great option, especially for anyone planning from abroad or those who just cant with the paper admin.
• Easy Update Management: Going online can be really handy for managing and notifying guests of last minute changes or venue updates etc.
• Cost Saving: Not only are websites so much easier to manage than a bevvy of post, using a wedding website or sending e-vites can remove (a lot) of cost from the wedding planning process.
• Planning From Abroad: Wedding websites and online wedding invite management tools are perfect for anyone with guests living abroad and let’s be real – who has everyone’s current and up to date address? Not us anyway!
• Sustainability: Websites and e-vites are also perfect for eco-conscious couples, looking for a more sustainable way of sending wedding invitations.
