A wedding invitation that lives in one link
A digital wedding invitation is a web page made just for your wedding. Instead of printing cards and posting them, you send your guests a single link. When they tap it, the invitation opens on their phone with your names, the date, the venue, a map, your schedule and a short form where they can tell you whether they are coming.
Davetiyelink started in Turkey, where invitations are traditionally shared with large families and friend groups, often through WhatsApp. That is why everything is built around speed and clarity: guests should understand the essentials in a few seconds, and you should know your numbers without calling anyone.
What you can put in your invitation
- An opening worth tapping: many templates start with an animation – an envelope, a door, a wax seal or a curtain – before the invitation appears.
- Music: choose one of the ready-made instrumental tracks or add your own link, so the invitation has a sound of its own.
- Countdown: a timer shows how many days are left until the wedding.
- Venue and directions: the hall or garden, the full address and a map link that opens navigation directly. You can also add a note about parking.
- Schedule: times for the civil ceremony, the reception, dinner or the first dance.
- Gallery: a few photos of the two of you.
- RSVP form: guests answer "attending", "not attending" or "maybe" and say how many people are coming.
- Memory wall and guest book: wishes, photos and messages collected in one place.
- Photo collection by QR code: on the day, guests scan a code and upload their photos without installing an app.
You decide what to show. A short invitation with only names, date, venue and RSVP is perfectly fine – sometimes it is the best choice.
Why couples switch from paper
Real numbers instead of guesses. The venue, the caterer and the seating plan all ask the same question: how many people? With an RSVP panel you see who has replied, who has declined and the total headcount. On the Standard plan and above you can download the list as a CSV file and pass it straight to your venue.
One link that stays up to date. Plans change. The start time moves by half an hour, the venue adds a second entrance, the shuttle bus gets a new pickup point. You edit the details in your panel and the same link shows the new information. Nobody is left holding an outdated card.
It reaches people wherever they are. Relatives in another city or another country receive the invitation at the same moment as your neighbours. There is no postage, no delay and nothing lost in the mail.
Writing the invitation text
There is no single right way to word a wedding invitation. Some families prefer a formal text in the parents' names; many couples write a few warm lines in their own voice. A good rule: say who is getting married, when and where, and what you would like the guest to do – usually, to reply by a certain date.
If your guest list mixes languages, you can write the text in two languages one below the other. When you create the invitation you also choose the language of the guest interface – Turkish, English or German – so buttons such as RSVP, directions and the guest book appear in a language your guests understand.
Choosing a template
Davetiyelink has more than twenty wedding templates, from classic designs in ivory and gold to modern, minimal layouts. When you compare them, look past the colours and ask three questions:
- Can a guest read the date and venue at a glance on a small screen?
- Does the opening animation suit the mood of your wedding, or would a calm design fit better?
- Will your photos look good in this layout?
Every template uses your own texts, photos and music, and you can preview it before you share anything.
When to send it
As a rough guide, close family can hear the date as soon as it is set. Guests in the same city usually need three to four weeks' notice, guests travelling from other cities five to six weeks, and guests coming from abroad eight to ten weeks, so they can book flights and time off. Put a clear reply-by date in the invitation.
A week or so after sending, a friendly reminder to those who have not replied works well. About two weeks before the wedding you can ask for final confirmations, and two days before, a short message with the address and start time helps everyone arrive on time.
How to share it
Your invitation is a normal link. Send it in a WhatsApp message or a family group, by email or text message, or print a QR code on a small card for older relatives who prefer something in their hands. Guests do not need an account or an app; the invitation opens in their phone's browser.
On the day: keep the memories together
Weddings produce hundreds of photos spread across dozens of phones. With QR photo collection you place a code on the tables or at the entrance, and guests upload their pictures into your invitation. Together with the memory wall and guest book, you end up with one place that holds the photos and wishes from your day.
Pricing
You can start for free. The Starter plan costs 0 ₺ and covers up to 10 guests, which is enough to build your invitation and try every step. For a full wedding there are the Standard (1,000 ₺), Premium (2,500 ₺) and Corporate (5,000 ₺) plans. Prices are in Turkish lira and are the same wherever you live.
