What does an e-invite look like?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

An e-invite is a digital version of a paper invitation, sent by email or a private link. It can be a simple card, an animated design, or a short video, and it usually includes the same details as a printed one.

An e-invite looks however you want it to look, but most are designed like a traditional wedding invitation card, just on a screen. You might see a single image with your wording, a scrollable page with several sections, or a short animated clip that plays like a mini film. The key parts are the same as a paper invite: your names, the date and time, the venue, and a way to reply. Many e-invites also include a map, a link to your wedding website, and a button for guests to RSVP online. You can add photos of you as a couple, a countdown timer, or a note about your gift list. Some couples choose a design that matches their colour scheme and theme, while others go for something playful or elegant. The format is flexible, so think about what your guests will find easy to read on a phone or computer. Keep the text clear and the design simple, and check how it looks on different devices before you send it. You can send e-invites as an attachment, or use a service that hosts your invite on a private page. Either way, your guests will appreciate a clear, friendly invitation that gives them all the practical details at a glance.
