10 reasons to use online invitations

Let us give you 10 reasons why online wedding invitations just works better.

In the past we were all accustomed to receiving invitations in the mail or by hand. Some people do consider that hand-delivered invitations give you a chance to catch up with your family and friends, not realizing that when you start to plan your wedding you just don’t have enough time.

1) Save time and money For starters the costs is dramatically downsized. Printing a multitude of wedding invitations is quite expensive and so time consuming.


So let’s look at what it takes to create and send printed invitations:


Step 1: First you need to choose a design, then the designer needs to customize your invitation to fit your wedding theme and amount of information.


Step 2: On completion you need to drive to the printing company to see how your printed invitation looks. IF you are happy with the design and information, the invitations need to be send to the printing line and hopefully not back to the designers to fix any errors.


Step 3: Within a few days you now have to drive back to the printer to pick up your printed invitations.


Step 4: From there each one must be placed in an envelope with a stamp that needs to be taken to the post office where they are posted to your individual guests with your biggest worry being that they might get lost in the post.


Step 5: For the close friends and family you have to drive to each ones’ house or work to deliver their wedding invitation by hand.


Question is: How much time and money has been wasted?


With online wedding invitations, you do not have to worry or waste time with misprints or badly bundle cut invitations.


You can create your own wedding invitation, update your guest manager and invite your entire guest list to your wedding whilst having a coffee on your favorite comfy couch, in your pajamas, without leaving your home.
