Your wedding invites are the first part of your wedding that guests will get a taste of, and will set the tone for your weddings and set their expectations.
Going paperless with your wedding invites is a great way to save money and help the environment, and online invites can be more romantic, personal and completely unique.
We think email wedding invites are a great thing to consider, and we’ve put together the benefits of using these.
Benefits of Email Wedding Invites
1. Lower Cost
Did you know that the average cost to send out physical invites is around £5,000? Compare that to the average cost of online costs, at only £1,000, that’s a lot of money that you can put elsewhere for the wedding. This is because you’re saving money on the materials and wedding stationary, as well as stamps.
2. Less Hassle
Planning a wedding is already a time-heavy task, and going digital with your invites can save even more time. You won’t have to spend hours tediously writing out addresses (or re-writing them if you make a mistake!), and you won’t have the task of getting invitations out to mail. Instead, you can work on your invitations creative online, add in fields to pull in guests names automatically – and hey presto you’re ready to send these out!
3. Consistent Design
With email invites, it’s easy to make your save-the-dates, invites and website have the same design, keeping it aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and helping to build excitement for your wedding guests.
4. Easy for Guests to Fill in
One of the main benefits of email invites is that they are easy to fill in for guests – meaning that they will get back to your quicker – saving you time and effort of having to follow up with people. This is because, unlike physical invites where guests have to fill out information and mail it back to you, email invites allow guests to immediately click yes or no, and this response will come back to you instantly.
5. Additional Information
Physical invites are usually fairly small, meaning you only have a certain amount of space to fill with information. However, with email invites you can easily direct guests straight to your wedding website where you can give them more information.
And for older guests?
We understand that some people won’t have access to an email, but there’s nothing to say that you need to have just email invites. Instead, these can complement physical invites that can be sent to those guests who may not be as tech-savvy as everybody else.
