With prices rising across the United States planning a wedding can be even more difficult than usual. Especially, if you are trying to stick to a budget. The cost of paper, shipping, and stamps have all increased. Thankfully, with the internet, online invitations are a way to easily cut costs!
What are virtual invitations?
Virtual wedding invitations are just like normal wedding invites. However, they save you and your family a lot of time and effort. For one, virtual wedding invites don’t involve any packaging or shipping time. Your invite can be sent in a matter of seconds to your guest and you don’t have to worry about it getting lost in the mail or sent to the wrong address. Secondly, wedding invites are completely free, unless you decide to purchase an invite template from an online source such as Etsy. Even then, you are cutting your cost drastically by not having to pay for stamps, paper, or printing. Thirdly, wedding invites are easily accessible for your guest, and most wedding websites allow you to keep your reservation list on the site, allowing your guest to receive the invitation, click the link, and RSVP in a matter of minutes.
How do virtual invitations work?
Online wedding invites are simple and easy. First, you design and create your wedding invite. You can purchase and buy templates for invites on Etsy or other websites, or you can make your own on design sites such as Canva. Then all you have to do is pick how you want to send your invites. This can be done through email, text message, or even a social media post.
