How do I send a housewarming invitation online?

Pick a design from Greenvelope's housewarming collection or upload your own artwork, add your new address, the date and time, and any parking or entry notes, then import your guest list from a spreadsheet or your address book. Turn on RSVP tracking, add custom questions if you want them, and send by email or text message (in supported countries). Replies arrive in one place as guests answer, so you are not counting heads across a group chat.

When should I send housewarming party invitations?

Two to three weeks ahead works for a casual open house, and three to four weeks is safer if guests are traveling or the party falls on a holiday weekend. Set the RSVP deadline about a week before so you can plan food and drinks, then send a reminder to the guests who have not answered. Later than a week out and you will be chasing people individually.

How do I give guests my new address, parking and entry details?

Put the street address on the invitation itself and keep the practical notes with it: which door to use, where to park, the buzzer or gate code, and which floor you are on. Because the invitation lives online, you can update any of it after you send, so a change of parking plan does not mean a round of individual texts to everyone on the list.

What should a housewarming invitation say about gifts?

Most hosts either say nothing about gifts or add one short line, and that line decides what guests arrive with. "No gifts, just bring yourself" reads as genuine on the invitation itself rather than mentioned afterward, and if you are doing a potluck the invitation is where to ask: a custom question such as "What are you bringing?" collects the answers alongside the RSVPs instead of across a group chat.

How much do digital housewarming invitations cost?

Greenvelope invitations are a flat one-time price starting at $19, set by guest count, with no subscription required and no per-guest charges, so the cost per guest falls as your list grows. Annual memberships are available if you send several mailings a year, as long as each mailing is for a different event. There is no credit card required to start, so you can build your invitation and see the exact price before you pay.

How does Greenvelope calculate people?

Each person (with or without email) added to the mailing list counts as (1) person. For example, "The Smith Family" of John, Jill, Tim, and Lauren would count as (4) people.

What if I am unsure how many people I need?

In this case, we recommend purchasing a smaller package initially. You can then easily purchase additional people from within your mailing on an as needed basis.

Can I send in multiple batches?

Greenvelope allows you to resend invitations or send invitations to new contacts at any time.

What if I need multiple versions of my card?

The best way to set this up would be to have two different mailings. You will need to purchase a separate "single mailing" package for each version.

Do you offer RSVP tracking?

Yes! Greenvelope's robust RSVP tracking makes planning effortless. You can collect RSVPs, track plus ones, gather meal selections, send RSVP reminders, set up seating charts, and more.

Can I also send my invitations via text message?

In addition to email, you can send your Greenvelope invitations and cards via SMS text message, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, or a sharable link.

Do you offer digital thank you notes or save the dates?

Yes, in addition to our digital invitations and RSVP tracking, Greenvelope offers both save the dates and thank you notes. Each mailing type provides easy-to-use features, such as address collection on save the dates and individual customization for thank you notes.

What if I need to update my invitation after I've sent it?

You can do that! One of the many benefits of digital invitations is that you can add additional information, update your card, or quickly follow-up with guests with ease.

Can I send a sample to myself?

Yes! When you arrive at the 'Send' step after designing your mailing, your account information will automatically be added so you can easily send yourself a test and make sure everything looks exactly how you want it.

Our Help Center is always available to help guide you through the process and answer common questions. If you have additional questions, our in-house customer support team is available 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM PDT Monday - Thursday and 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM PDT Friday via support@greenvelope.com or 1-888-737-5635.
