There was a time when we handed out invitations in person. We knocked on grandma’s door, sat down for coffee with the godparents, and as we handed over the envelope we said: we’d love you to be there. That gesture is still the most beautiful one we know. But in our fast-paced world there is less and less time for it – our loved ones are scattered across the country and the world, and our days are fuller than ever.
thisisyes was created so that invitations reach the people we cannot visit in person – and still mean just as much.
An online invitation is not about being impersonal
Many people assume that an online invitation is inevitably colder than paper. We believe the opposite. On paper there is one version for everyone; with us, every guest receives an envelope addressed to them by name. The greeting is theirs, the letter is for them.
That’s why we give you so many ways to make it your own: a texture that recalls the feel of fine paper, the colour of the envelope, the wax seal and its monogram, the mood of the lettering, the frame, the flowers, the tone of your photos, the music and the words. Not to make it complicated – but so that your invitation is exactly like you.
What we believe in
- The most personal. Every guest should feel that this letter was written for them – because it was.
- The most beautiful. Handmade paper, a lifelike wax seal that breaks as the envelope opens, calligraphy – crafted down to the smallest detail.
- The most heartfelt. The quiet moment of breaking the seal is the same flutter as opening an envelope addressed by hand.
- The simplest. Guests don’t install anything, and replying takes a single tap. Grandma will manage too.
- The most thoughtful. Guests without an e-mail address receive a personal link via Messenger or WhatsApp. No one is left out.
- The fairest. A one-off fee with no subscription. No ads, we never sell your data, and we look after your guests’ details as if they were our own.
Where your story begins
Every great celebration begins with a letter. A wedding, an engagement, a milestone birthday, a baby shower or a christening – each is the first chapter of a story you want to share with the people who matter. We help that first chapter reach everyone. Faster than the post, but with the same heart.
With love,
the thisisyes team
