It all starts with the wedding invitation and when there are no dearth of designs to choose from, how do you decide which one to choose? Not to forget that separate invitations are needed for each function because there are individual guest lists for each ceremony. It’s not surprising then that Indian couples are more than willing to explore the many options that paperless wedding invitations give them. We could go on and on about the many advantages of going paperless or digital- for starters, it’s a great way to keep costs low, secondly, you don’t have to worry about whether the invitation has reached the guest or not and thirdly, you get to design and customise your card the way you want.
If you would like to explore the idea of paperless wedding invitations, then here are the top 4 wedding invitation websites you need to check out today:
DesiEvite
We loved the fact that one can browse through a wide range of designs and choose to customise the cards in a regional language too. Plus, you get to upload an image of your choice on DesiEvite, design the envelope you want and even pick out specific icons for you and your better half. Add any text that you want to your design and share your invitation card with your friends and family on Facebook, Google Plus, Pinterest or even Twitter. Simply send this invitation to your guests and you don’t have to worry about whether they will turn up for your special day or not. Try their ‘Premium’ section for more exclusive designs.
Yoovite
If you thought that Yoovite was only meant for birthday party invitations, then you couldn’t be more wrong. They’re quite popular with couples who prefer a greener touch to their weddings too. Here’s how it works- You sign up on the site. Next, you select a theme and add your event details such as the venue, date, time etc. With a Google Maps integration feature included, your guests wont struggle to find the venue. After this, add the email addresses of your guests from your email address book, preview the card and hit ‘Send’. As soon as the invitation hits their inbox, they will get an SMS and email alert. The second they RSVP for your function, you get a notification too. In fact, it’s the easy to use RSVP feature in Yoovite that makes paperless wedding invitations this fun!

Invity
Not satisfied with merely sending paperless wedding invitations? Then, let Invity make all your wedding dreams come true. By registering on their website for free (they have great packages to offer which include plenty of feature upgrades), you get to include guests from anywhere in the world to be a part of your wedding story. From changing the theme of your wedding website whenever you feel like it, to sending invitations, to adding a photo gallery and keeping guests updated with titbits to sharing your love story; you can do all this and more with Invity. Reminders and sms alerts are other welcome features too.
InviteIndia
Quite similar to Invity in terms of features, what we liked the most about InviteIndia was that the registration is free and users can choose from three affordable packages to access a number of exclusive features. Those who register for the Platinum package which can be purchased at Rs 600/- can access and update their wedding website for a whole year. We also liked the fact that users can create three wedding invitations together by using any of the sample templates (yes you can also add music if you want) and these can be emailed depending upon which guest you want to invite for a specific ceremony.
