Online or paper invitations?

You don’t necessarily have to choose. Here’s an honest comparison of the two, when each works best – and how to combine them.

The power of paper

A printed invitation has weight: you can hold it, put it on the fridge and keep it as a memento. Many older relatives still consider it the real thing – and they have a point.

What online invitations do better

  • They reach everyone. Friends abroad and relatives in other cities receive it instantly, with no postage.
  • One-tap replies. No chasing answers by phone: numbers and companions – and from the Yes package, menu choices – appear in your account.
  • Living content. Maps, schedule, countdown, photos – and if something changes, everyone sees the update at the same link.
  • Cost. A printed invitation with envelope and postage costs around HUF 500–1,500 apiece. Online, your whole guest list is covered by one package.
  • Sustainability. No paper, no printing, no shipping.

Can an online invitation feel personal?

Yes – if it’s a letter addressed by name rather than a group message. With us, every guest receives a wax-sealed envelope addressed to them, which opens on screen just like a real letter. The paper texture, the seal, the lettering and the photos all tell your story.

The best of both

Many couples combine the two: a few beautiful printed invitations handed to grandparents and close family, and online invitations for everyone else. Everyone replies in the same place – you can even print the link on the paper invitations.
