1

Choose Your Wedding Theme

5 minutes

Start by deciding on the overall style and theme for your wedding invitations.

What to do:

  • Consider your wedding venue (beach, garden, church, etc.)
  • Choose a color palette (2-3 main colors work best)
  • Decide on formality level (elegant, casual, rustic, modern)
  • Think about seasonal elements if relevant
💡

Pro Tip:

Your invitation sets the tone for your entire wedding, so choose a style that reflects both your personalities.

2

Select or Create Your Design

10 minutes

Browse our template gallery or use AI to create a completely custom design.

What to do:

  • Browse 300+ wedding templates by style and theme
  • Use AI by describing your vision (e.g., 'elegant garden wedding with rose gold')
  • Consider matching save-the-dates if you haven't sent them yet
  • Think about coordinating thank you cards for later
💡

Pro Tip:

AI can understand natural language - describe your dream invitation and let it create something unique!

3

Add Your Wedding Details

5 minutes

Include all the essential information your guests need to know.

What to do:

  • Full names of both partners
  • Wedding date and time (be specific about ceremony vs reception)
  • Venue name and full address
  • Dress code if applicable
  • Registry information or gift preferences
  • Contact info for questions
💡

Pro Tip:

Double-check all dates, times, and addresses. Consider time zones if you have out-of-town guests.

Customize the Design

15 minutes

Make the invitation uniquely yours with personal touches and adjustments.

What to do:

  • Upload engagement photos or venue photos
  • Adjust colors to match your exact wedding palette
  • Choose fonts that match your style
  • Add personal quotes, lyrics, or meaningful text
  • Include cultural or religious elements if important
💡

Pro Tip:

Less is often more - keep text readable and don't overcrowd the design with too many elements.

5

Set Up RSVP Tracking

10 minutes

Configure how guests will respond and what information you need from them.

What to do:

  • Set RSVP deadline (typically 3-4 weeks before wedding)
  • Add meal choice options if having a plated dinner
  • Include dietary restriction fields
  • Ask for guest names (for place cards)
  • Add plus-one restrictions if applicable
  • Include transportation or accommodation questions
💡

Pro Tip:

Make RSVPing as easy as possible - the simpler the process, the more responses you'll get on time.

6

Send Your Invitations

5 minutes

Share your beautiful invitations and start tracking responses.

What to do:

  • Send 6-8 weeks before the wedding date
  • Use email for most guests, text for close friends/family
  • Include a personal message when sending
  • Set up automatic reminders for non-responders
  • Monitor responses in your dashboard
  • Export guest list when planning is needed
💡

Pro Tip:

Send yourself a test invitation first to make sure everything looks perfect on different devices.
