Wedding invitations are the prelude to the celebrations that you envision. They are the first step in getting the festivities kickstarted. While we all love printed invitations – with box sets and lovely origami invites, the world is going digital. With gorgeous e-invites and video invitation cards that have entered the wedding market, there is no limit to what you can do with e-invites. From personalised caricatures on your wedding invite to drone-shot video footage, the creativity with these invites is so much fun!
But we also understand that not everyone will be okay with e-invites. Some might find them impersonal – shaadi ka card bhi nahi diya! – and while some may not be that tech-savvy. So how do you navigate these waters? Are e-invites too impersonal or do they suffice? Let’s find out!
Personalize Them!
The biggest issue in e-invites for guests are that they are not personal, so let’s personalise them! Once you send an e-invite, follow it up with a call or a gift, ensuring that the guest feels special enough. If it’s a really close relative, you can also drop in for a visit with some sweets and gifts. This will add that extra layer of personalisation for the people who may feel left out. WedMeGood’s e-invites make it as easy as it can be- allowing you to design your own static or video invites in 10 mins or less!
Use Them For The Engagement Invite
If you are not sure what the response will be, have an e-save the date invite or engagement e-invite. This will help you gauge the reactions and you can pick what you want to do for the wedding e-invite accordingly.

Add The Eco-Friendly Angle
Guests are more prone to accept change better when they know the reasoning behind it. If you can share how you feel about making an eco-friendly decision for your wedding invitation, by going digital, there are less chances of people being less accepting! E-invites are the more sustainable choice for sure.
Rope In The Younger Generation!
If all fails, rope in your cousins and friends to ensure that they voice their opinions on how cool and creative these e-vites are. Chances are that listening to their own children and grandchildren may be easier than you!
