Digital or paper wedding invitations?
It depends on what you want your invitation to do. Paper is something to keep and hold, and it needs no smartphone. A digital invitation reaches any country the same day, collects every guest’s RSVP and gives you the caterer’s spreadsheet; with Complete, it costs €1.50 per guest for a 100-guest wedding. And the two work well together: digital for everyone, and a printed card with a QR code for their link for anyone who wants something to hold.
What paper does better
- It’s a keepsake. A card goes in a drawer or the wedding album; a link doesn’t.
- Anyone who opens the envelope can read it, including people who don’t have a smartphone or can’t open a link.
- You can touch it: the weight of the card, raised ink, a sealed envelope. On a screen the envelope opens with its wax seal, but it weighs nothing.
- It can be handed over in person.
What digital does better
- It arrives in seconds, in any country. Each family’s link goes out on WhatsApp with the message already written, or you copy it and send it however you like.
- It collects the RSVPs: one person replies for their whole family, with each person’s meal, allergies, high chair for the children and seat on the coach.
- It tells you who is still to reply: your dashboard shows who has replied, who hasn’t and who hasn’t even opened their link, and the caterer’s spreadsheet is one button away.
- It can be updated: if a time or an address changes, you change it in the editor and anyone who opens it afterwards sees the new one.
- With Complete, each family opens it in the language you set for them, with your own wording in each one.
What digital costs per guest, and the postage for paper
You pay for our invitation once per wedding, VAT included, and sending it costs nothing: the more guests you have, the less it costs per guest. This is what each plan works out at per guest, with today’s cheapest template:
| Plan | 50 guests | 100 guests | 150 guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential€99 in total | €1.98 | €0.99 | €0.66 |
| Complete€150 in total | €3 | €1.50 | €1 |
| Turnkey€270 in total | €5.40 | €2.70 | €1.80 |
All three plans include unlimited guests.
With paper, you pay per envelope
You pay for a paper invitation when it’s printed, and if it goes by post you also pay for the stamp. The cost of printing depends on the paper, the size, the finish and how many you order, so no single figure fits them all: ask for a quote. What does have a published price is the postage on each envelope:
| Sent from | Destination | Postage |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | The same country | €0.96Standard-size letter up to 20 gCorreos |
| Spain | The same country | €1.15Up to 50 g, or a square or large envelope that isn’t standard sizeCorreos |
| Spain | Another European country | €2Standard-size letter up to 20 gCorreos |
| Spain | United States, Canada and Australia | €2.65Standard-size letter up to 20 gCorreos |
| France | The same country | €1.52Letter up to 20 gLa Poste |
| France | Any other country | €2.25Letter up to 20 gLa Poste |
A thick card or a double envelope weighs more and may move up a band. Invitations handed over in person need no stamp.
Both at once
Send the digital invitation to everyone and, for anyone who wants something to hold (grandparents, anyone without a smartphone), add a printed card with a QR code for their link. Scanning it opens their family’s invitation, and from there whoever has the card, or a grandchild on their behalf, can reply.
We don’t print that card for you, but it doesn’t take long:
- In “Invitaciones” (Invitations), copy that family’s link.
- Turn it into a QR code with any QR code generator.
- Print it on a card with the date and the venue, and hand it over or post it.
That QR code is their link: anyone who scans it opens their invitation and can reply for them. Give the card to that family and nobody else, as you would the link itself.
What you lose and what you gain
With a digital invitation you lose the keepsake, because nobody keeps a link in a drawer, and anyone without a smartphone needs it on paper. That is what the card is for, with the date, the venue and a QR code for their link for whoever helps them reply. And if they ring you with their answer, ask a relative to reply with them from their link.
You gain everything that happens after it goes out: the replies in one place, each person’s meal and allergies, who still hasn’t answered and the caterer’s spreadsheet without copying anything by hand.
What each plan includes is on the pricing page.
