Online wedding invitations: how they work and why they beat paper

Онлайн покана за сватба на телефон: плик, програма на деня и бутон „Потвърди“

In a digital world, paper invitations are for your closest circle — grandparents, godparents, the people you hand them to in person. We make those too, but the easiest and fastest way is a digital invitation: a single link you send on Viber, WhatsApp or Messenger that opens on any phone.

Here is one we made for Steliana and Vasil’s wedding. Tap the image or the button to see it live.

What the invitation looks like

  1. An envelope that opens by itself. Guests open the link and see an envelope saying “You are invited!”. A second later it opens.
  2. A video invitation. The couple’s names, the date and the programme of the day — church, civil ceremony and restaurant, each with its time.
  3. An RSVP button. Guests confirm with a single tap, without calling or writing messages.

RSVPs and guest statistics for the couple

In the demo the RSVP button only shows a tick. In the real invitation guests type their name and choose when they will come — for the whole day or only the church, the ceremony or the restaurant. They can also add how many people are coming and where they are travelling from.

The couple sees everything in one place:

  • who has confirmed and who has not replied yet;
  • how many people to expect at each part of the day;
  • where guests are coming from — handy for transport and hotels;
  • a list ready for the restaurant and the seating plan.

No more “Are you coming?” calls a week before the wedding. The answers collect themselves.

How it works: a domain for one year, no subscription

  1. We register a domain valid for one year — for example with your names.
  2. We build the invitation in the style of your wedding: text, video, programme and a map to the venue.
  3. You simply send the link to friends and family — on Viber, WhatsApp, Messenger or by email.
  4. You follow the RSVPs as guests reply.
  5. After a year the domain expires, the site goes offline and you pay nothing more for the domain. No monthly fees, no subscriptions.

Why we recommend a domain other than .bg

For online invitations we advise against a .bg domain. Registering a .bg makes the invitation more expensive and the process more complicated for no good reason, and that makes no sense for a site that lives for a year. A .com or .eu domain is registered in minutes and costs less. If you still want a .bg, we will make it happen!

Designed for phones first

Almost every guest opens the invitation on a phone, so we design it for the small screen first — just as every site we build starts on a phone. The video is compressed so it starts quickly even on mobile data, because every second of loading matters.

Labels, cards and more surprises in the same style

Besides the invitation, the couple asked for a few extras: labels for the bride’s and groom’s bottles, a label for the wedding rakia, a map of the wedding day, a “Godparents’ home” sign, cards and a challenge for the guests — a video greeting for the couple.

Labels for the bride’s and groom’s bottles and the wedding rakia.

The bride’s and groom’s labels wrap all the way around the bottle.

What about paper invitations?

We make those too — in the same style as the online invitation, for the people you want to hand one to in person. Everything then looks like one set: from the envelope on grandma’s table to the link on your colleagues’ phones.

Frequently asked questions

Do guests need to install anything?

No. The invitation is a regular website and opens in the browser of any phone or computer.

How long does the online invitation stay up?

One year — as long as the domain is registered. Then it expires and you pay nothing more.

Can we change something after sending the link?

Yes. The link stays the same, and changes — a new time, address or photo — show up immediately.

Shoppers know where the cart, the search and the Buy button live. When a one-of-a-kind design helps — and when it costs you orders.

Mobile first: why every site we build starts on a phone

Most visits now come from a phone. That is why we design for the small screen first — and why it makes the site better everywhere.
