More couples now send their wedding invitations on WhatsApp, alongside printed cards or instead of them. A digital invitation reaches every guest instantly, costs nothing to deliver, and can carry far more than paper: music, movement, maps and the full programme of events.
The two most popular formats are the animated video invitation and the flip-book e-card. Both can look beautiful; they simply suit different needs.
The video invitation
A video invitation is a short animated film, usually set to music, that reveals the couple's names, the date and the venue. It works best when you want a strong first impression — something guests watch, enjoy and forward to family.
Choose a video invitation if you want:
- An emotional, cinematic reveal with music
- One clear message for every guest
- Something easy to share and play on any phone
The flip-book e-card
A flip-book e-card turns its pages like a real wedding card, right on the phone. Each page can hold a different function — Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, the wedding and the reception — with its own time and venue.
Choose a flip-book if you want:
- Room for several functions and their details
- The feel of a traditional card, page by page
- A format guests can come back to when they need a time or an address
Can you have both?
Yes. Many families send a short video to announce the wedding, then a flip-book with the full schedule. Designed together, the two feel like a matching set.
Before you start
- Finalise names, dates and venues before design begins; changes later take time.
- Decide the languages, for example Hindi and English.
- Gather any photos, family names or blessings you want included.
- Start early, so guests receive the invitation well before the first function.
