Hello everyone! 😀
My co-founders( Harikrishnan P & Manu Mohanan M ) and I started invyt.in , a platform that lets users create a beautiful one page invitation website within minutes to invite and involve guests in their celebrations !
Internet has made its impact on almost all aspects of our society. Almost !
It all started when we got this Whatsapp message.
It was a picture of a wedding invitation card.
begging us to ask ourselves the questions:
Isn’t there a better way to invite people to weddings, digitally ?
What has the invitation industry been up to in the last 50 years ?
Sure, it serves the physical needs but considering how much time each of us spends online, doesn’t it make more sense for invitations to be also made available digitally ?
For the most part, we receive pictures of the invitation card via Whatsapp when people wish to invite us by digital means. Even the most tech savvy of the lot use tools like Canva to create a poster and use it as a ‘Save the Date’ digital card.
Super easy! Job done, right ? Think again !
Have you thought about how it is for the guests ? What can they do with a mere picture ? Can they even copy the location or literally, even Save the date on their phones ?
Let’s go back to the important question.
Why do we print invitation cards in the first place ? Can we not call each of the recipients and do away with the cards altogether ? After all, the message has been conveyed, right ?
Of course not !
It’s not just about conveying information. It’s all about the experience!
Invitations create the first impression of the marriage to the guests.
When you take a picture of your physical invitation card and send it , it is a real turnoff. In fact, people would rather receive the physical card.
Now obviously, if you decided to send them a picture of the card instead of the actual card, there’s a reason. It could be that you don’t have their address or that it would take a long time to get there or maybe its not worth the spend.
Physical cards are great ! The very act of giving one is most often, enjoyable and conveys a human touch. Undoubtedly, it is a necessary part of Indian Weddings.
But is it enough ? We all spend at least 20% of our day in front of a screen. We love catching up with friends and family via Facebook, Instagram , Whatsapp, Telegram etc
And here is the deal. If you are reading this, you are LITERATE. You have ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. You have an UNDERSTANDING of WEBSITES. In other words, you DON’T NEED A CARD to be sent to you. Turns out that 80% of your guests are like you !
You have a choice between Physical cards and digital experience
With digital invitations , guests will surely be able to give you a faster response, engage better and enjoy way more than a conventional physical card.
Still not sure ? How about a quick test to see which one fits you better !
Which among the following choices do you prefer ?
- Seeing just a couple of names Or Names with Pictures ?
2. Receiving location written on a piece of paper Or in the form of a Google map ?
3. Filling an RSVP letter and posting it back Or Filling a form and sending it within seconds ?
4. Waiting endlessly for an album that you may never get to see Or Seeing all pictures, videos and everything related to the wedding in one place, at any time from anywhere ?
5. Holding on to your thoughts Or Letting them know about it making the couple’s day more special ?
6. Receiving a card that you may not have access to at a time of need Or something that you can access any time from anywhere ?
If you picked the 2nd option in the above cases, then You prefer digital invitations over physical ones, even if you didn’t know it ! Your guests also feel the same way.
How awesome would it be if a couple could share their wedding information in a beautiful way, make it more convenient and enjoyable for their guests as shown above, right ?
It must take a lot of time, money and effort, you say?
Nope ! It takes less than 10 minutes, is completely FREE and doesn’t require you to rely on anyone else to create or manage the website !
You can head over to www.invyt.in right now and create your very own wedding website(called Invyt) within minutes, that you can use to invite and involve guests to your celebrations.
Now you must be thinking — Hold up. So I agree that digital invitations are cool and everything but people still expect a physical invitation card on a wedding. Also, not everyone is comfortable with going online for the invitation and the details. So I am going to have to print the physical cards anyway 🤷🏻
Guess what ? We completely understand that. That’s why, we have just the thing for you !
Invyt is not just about digital invitations. It’s about the whole invitation experience and we are all about ensuring that !
How do we do that ?
- We start by crafting a unique wedding logo, designed just for you.
2. Next, we work with you to make a completely customized invitation card that’s not only pretty and modern but also super convenient
3. and the QR code/link takes the guest to the stunning wedding website — the one stop destination for your guests to find out everything about your wedding. A countdown timer, venue location on map, RSVP, send and view Best wishes , view pictures and videos from before, during and after the wedding.
4. A memorable thank you card with the website QR code , so the guests not only leave with wonderful memories but also with the promise of access to the snaps from the wedding
Are you a bride or groom to be? Ready to take your guests’ experience to the next level?
Maybe you know someone who is getting married soon ? From our couples, we have heard that being gifted an Invyt wedding website on their wedding was one of the best gifts they received !
