Welcome
A digital wedding invitation is a private wedding website your guests open from one link, usually on WhatsApp. Everything they need is in one place: the date, the times, the venue and map, the dress code, where to stay, gifts and the RSVP.
Guests can check the details on their phone whenever they need them, right up to the morning of the wedding. You don't chase anyone for replies, because every RSVP goes straight to your inbox and is collated live in your own Google Sheet. Granny included.
Guests can even request the songs that get them dancing, so your playlist sorts itself out. Add photo sharing, and a QR code on your site gathers everyone's photos from the day into one album.
My story
Getting engaged is pure joy: big dreams, joy bubbling out of every pore, and of course, a long list of things to organise. I started Digital Wedding Invitation simply because I love how easily a website lets a couple share that magical part of their journey with everyone they love, and how this process can simplify just one of the things that sits on that long list of things to do for the wedding!
I also love it when technology makes life simpler. One website tells your story, collects your RSVPs, meal choices and even song requests, costs far less than printed invitations (and removes the hassle of delivering said invitations!), and lets guests find the details whenever they need them.
I'm based in Makhanda in the Eastern Cape and I work with couples all over South Africa. You deal with me from first message to go-live. You send your story and photos, and I take care of the rest.

The samples
Each sample site is designed around its couple's engagement photos, so no two look alike. Open one on your phone, the way your guests will.
The packages
One fixed price, however many guests you invite. No monthly fees, no per-guest costs. Every package takes the website, the hosting and the RSVPs off your plate.

FAQs
A digital wedding invitation is a private wedding website that replaces the printed invitation. Guests open one link, usually sent on WhatsApp, and find everything in one place: the date, times, venue and map, dress code, where to stay, gifts, and an RSVP form. Their replies go straight into your own Google Sheet.
My packages are Essentials at R1,950, Classic at R2,500 and Signature at R3,000. Every package includes the design, the build, hosting for one year and RSVPs into your Google Sheet. There is no monthly fee and no cost per guest.
Printed invitations are charged per guest for printing, envelopes and postage, and every change means a reprint. A wedding website is one fixed price however many guests you invite, it can be updated at any time, RSVPs are collected for you, and guests can check the details on their phone whenever they need them.
There is also no printing and no posting, so it's the greener choice.
Guests fill in the RSVP form on your website. Each reply goes straight to your inbox and is collated live in your own Google Sheet, with names and attendance, plus meal choices on Classic and Signature. You can open the sheet on your phone at any time to see who's coming.
A 50% deposit starts the work. The remaining 50% is due within 48 hours of your site going live.
Your site goes live within one week of your complete brief. A complete brief is the brief document, your photos, your copy and your wedding details. The week starts once everything is in.
One year from the day it goes live. If you'd like to keep it longer, you can add a second year. Many couples turn their site into a thank-you page with a link to the wedding photos, so the link guests already have keeps working after the big day.
On Classic and Signature, the first year of your own .co.za domain is included. If you keep your site for a second year, the domain renewal is billed at cost. Essentials uses a free wedding-invite.co.za address, so there's nothing to renew.
Your site won't show up on Google or any other search engine, so nobody will come across it by searching. Anyone with the link can open it, though, so share it only with the people you're inviting. Your RSVP sheet is shared only with you.
The briefing document I'll send you, your favourite photos, a few words about your story, and your wedding details: dates, times, venues, dress code and RSVP deadline. Depending on your package, add links to accommodation or your registry. You'll also need a Gmail address so I can share your RSVP sheet with you.
You're welcome to send examples of wedding sites you love. I'll never copy one, but they help me understand your taste. Otherwise, I'll design your site around your photos or your wedding colours.
Once you've seen your site, send me all your changes together in one message and I'll make them. Essentials includes one round of changes, Classic two and Signature three. Signature also includes updates right up to the wedding day.
