Pretty soon, we’ll be embarking on a new decade, and 2020 is sure to be more digital than ever. In this high-tech era, more and more brides are choosing to send online invitations instead of paper wedding stationery. The benefits are numerous. First and foremost, the average cost of physical wedding invitations is between $5,000 and $8,000.

Digital invitations can clear a massive portion of your budget. Greenvelope’s customizable designs, for example, start at $39 and include tracking. This convenience factor saves both time and hassle. No licking envelopes, no writing addresses in your best cursive (and tossing them when you make a mistake), and no depending on the unreliable USPS. Rather than filling out an RSVP card to send back, guests can easily respond online and your invitation service will keep track for you.

There’s the eco-friendly aspect, as well. (No trees were killed in the making of these invitations.) And like traditional print invitations, online invitations can reflect your wedding theme and color palette. These unique wedding invitation ideas feature digital designs that jump off the screen — and are so realistic you can practically feel the cardstock.

Wedding invitations should be a reflection of your personal style as a couple. If your dream home together involves sleek marble countertops, muted colors, and a minimal design scheme, chances are your big day will match with a minimalist wedding style — where contemporary designs marry clean lines and graphic styling. (See what we did there?)

Simple wedding invitations are the perfect way to set the tone for your classic and understated ceremony. If you’re sending paper invitations, simple online invitations make a great counterpart. Thoughtfully designed evites are an ideal way to welcome guests on their own, or to track RSVPs as a supplement to traditional wedding invites. Your invitation may also inspire wedding programs or rehearsal dinner invitations in a similarly understated vibe. Get inspired with these minimal invitation ideas, designed for the thoroughly modern couple.

All-in-one wedding invitations are designed to make wedding planning easier. These cleverly designed invitations include the invite and RSVP all in one, uncomplicated package. You can find traditional paper all-in-one wedding invitations, but for the most convenience, digital all-in-ones reign supreme.

With digital wedding invitations, you don’t have to keep track of dozens or hundreds of RSVP postcards. You’ll save money on postage, and you don’t have to worry about response cards going missing if guests make a mistake on the return address. (In fact, you don’t even have to include a return address.)

With digital all-in-one wedding invitations, you get the benefits of both a wedding invitation and a wedding website. You have access to features like RSVP tracking and guest list management, so you can rest easy knowing that everything is taken care of. Your guests will be able to RSVP quickly and access all the information they need, and you’ll be reducing paper waste from all those paper invitations you’d usually send.

Is there anything dreamier than a beach-themed wedding? You’ve sent the engagement announcements and hosted a beachy bridal shower. Now it’s time for the big party invitations. Whether your affair is oceanside or simply nautically inspired, the right beach wedding invitations will put you on track for an unforgettable day.

Every bride knows that keeping track of the guest list is one of the hardest tasks. If you’re having a low-key destination wedding or an intimate celebration, online invitations are just as beautiful as paper invites. They can also save you a ton of cash. That’s more room in your budget for tropical cocktails!

If printed invitations are important to you, consider a supplemental evite. This can help organize your RSVPs and save you money on response cards — think 50 cents per stamp, plus all the added paper. Pick a design that complements your printed wedding stationery, or even upload your own design that perfectly matches. Whichever you choose, we’ve broken down the best beach invitations. Browse designs from classic to unconventional with every starfish and sand dollar in between.

Congratulations, you’ve picked a wedding date! Before you go too far down the rabbit hole that is wedding planning, you need to let your friends and family know when the big day is so they can mark their calendars. Giving your guests a heads up as far in advance as possible is crucial to making sure everyone has enough time to plan their schedules and share in your special day.

Save the date cards are generally more informal than the wedding invitation itself, but they do set the tone for your wedding. As a precursor to the actual invitation, choose a design that matches and complements your wedding theme. Whether you’re going for a casual beach vibe or want to customize the invite with an engagement photo, here are some unique save the date ideas to match your wedding.

From engagement parties to bridal showers, there’s a lot going on before you even get to the big day. The rehearsal dinner doesn’t always get the same level of attention as some of the other wedding events, but it’s actually a great opportunity for the bride and groom to show off their unique style and get a little creative.

The rehearsal dinner or party is also a good way for family and close friends to get to know each other in a more intimate and relaxed setting before the craziness of the main event. Even if you’re having a more traditional wedding, the rehearsal dinner is your chance to explore more casual party themes — with fun and unique rehearsal dinner invites to match.

From outdoor picnics to formal dinners, we have all the rehearsal dinner invitations you need to throw the best pre-wedding party. And with convenient RSVP tracking and a feature-rich details page that includes information like Google Map locations, calendar links, and dress codes, you can send beautiful wedding rehearsal dinner invitations without any hassle. read more…
