Creating a wedding invitation online is faster than most couples expect: you can have a living invitation — with your names, your date, a schedule and an RSVP form — ready the same evening. There’s nothing to install, guests don’t need an app, and building the draft is free; you only pay when you publish. Here’s exactly how it works, step by step.
What you’ll need before you start
Nothing is mandatory to begin — you can fill the rest in later — but having these at hand makes it a five-minute job:
- Your two names and the wedding date.
- The venue (name and address) — for the ceremony and, if different, the reception.
- A rough schedule: ceremony time, reception, anything else you want guests to know (parking, dress code, shuttle).
- A way to reach your guests — a chat group, phone numbers or emails. You send one link; there’s no printing or postage.
How to create a wedding invitation online: step by step
- Start a free draft. Open the editor and enter your names and date. Your invitation gets its own address right away (for example ana-and-luka.sealdate.com), free of charge.
- Add your details. Fill in the venue, the schedule and a short welcome message in a simple form — no design skills needed. Everything updates in a live preview as you type.
- Choose the look (and music). Pick a colour palette and heading style, and optionally add a song that plays when the envelope opens. The free palettes already look finished.
- Set up the RSVP. Turn on the reply form so guests confirm attendance and plus-ones right on the invitation. You’ll see every answer collected in one place — no spreadsheet to keep by hand.
- Preview on your phone. Open the draft on your own phone exactly as a guest will see it: the envelope with the seal, the schedule with maps, the RSVP. Tweak anything you like.
- Publish and share the link. When it’s ready, publish once (€59) and send the link — or a QR code — to your guests through chat, email or your wedding website. That’s it: the invitation is live.
Why couples choose a digital invitation
- One price, any number of guests. A digital invitation on sealdate costs €59 one-time and includes unlimited guests with RSVPs. Inviting 60 or 160 people costs exactly the same — no per-piece printing or postage.
- RSVPs without the phone marathon. Guests reply with a tap; you watch the headcount, plus-ones and messages grow in one guest overview, with an export to Excel when you need it.
- Change anything after sending. A new time or venue isn’t a disaster — edit once and every guest sees the new version instantly, under the same link.
- Guests need no app or account. They open a link in their browser and reply. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for.
- Reaches everyone, everywhere. The link arrives in a second — guests abroad included — and the invitation can be in English as easily as your own language.
- An experience paper can’t match. An envelope that opens by breaking the seal, your music, a schedule with maps — guests remember it and pass it on.
What about paper invitations?
Paper still has its place — for the most formal weddings, for the witnesses and parents, or for the oldest guests without a smartphone. Many couples combine the two: a few printed cards for protocol, a digital invitation with RSVP for everyone else. If you’re weighing it up, see our honest comparison of digital vs paper invitations.
How much does it cost?
Building and previewing the draft is free — you only pay to publish. One invitation is €59 one-time (not a subscription), includes unlimited guests and RSVPs, and stays live until the wedding plus 30 days. The only optional extras are a song and a custom domain.
The fastest way to decide is to see one: open the demo invitation on your phone. If that’s the experience you want for your guests, an invitation with your names can be online tonight.
Frequently asked questions
- Do my guests need an app or an account?
- No. Guests open a link in their normal browser and reply to the RSVP there — nothing to download and no sign-up.
- Can I change the invitation after I’ve sent it?
- Yes. Edit any detail — even the date or venue — and every guest sees the updated version instantly, under the same link.
- How many guests can I invite?
- As many as you like. One invitation is €59 one-time and includes an unlimited number of guests and RSVPs, so the price is the same for 60 or 160 people.
- Is it really free to start?
- Yes. Building and previewing the draft costs nothing; you only pay the one-time fee when you decide to publish.
- Can the invitation be in another language?
- Yes. You can write the invitation in English or your own language, which is ideal when you have guests from abroad.
