Weddings
Digital wedding invitations and RSVPs
A wedding is more than one party: the engagement party, the shower, the rehearsal dinner, the big day and the brunch after, each with its own guest list. letsparty sends each one as an invitation texted from your own phone or emailed, and every guest answers on their own link in any phone’s browser, with no app and no account. RSVPs come back by name, with meal choices, kids counted on their own and a live head count for the caterer.
Your whole wedding, one invite at a time
Most engagement parties happen within a few months of the proposal, with invitations out four to six weeks ahead. Save-the-dates go out six to eight months before the wedding, or eight to twelve for a destination wedding or a holiday weekend. The shower and the bachelor and bachelorette parties usually fall in the last three months before the wedding, each invited four to six weeks ahead (a little more for a trip). Wedding invitations go out six to eight weeks before the day, with an RSVP-by date three to four weeks out, and the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, after-party and farewell brunch invitations follow with them or soon after, so out-of-town guests can plan the whole weekend.
- 1 Engagement party Most engagement parties happen within a few months of the proposal, before wedding planning gets busy.
- 2 Save the dates Send save-the-dates six to eight months before the wedding, and eight to twelve months ahead for a destination wedding or a holiday weekend.
- 3 Bridal and couples showers Hold the shower two weeks to three months before the wedding.
- 4 Bachelorette party Plan it one to two months before the wedding, not the week of.
- 5 Bachelor party Plan it one to two months before the wedding, never the night before.
- 6 Rehearsal dinner Send rehearsal dinner invitations after the wedding invitations, about four to six weeks before the dinner, so the two don’t get mixed up.
- 7 Welcome party Send the welcome party invitation with the wedding invitation or right after it, six to eight weeks before the weekend, so travelers can plan their arrival.
- 8 Wedding invitations Send wedding invitations six to eight weeks before the wedding, and up to three months ahead for a destination wedding.
- 9 After-party Send the after-party invitation with the wedding invitation or a few weeks after, so guests can plan their night and their ride home.
- 10 Farewell brunch Send the brunch invitation with the wedding invitation or soon after, so travelers book flights that leave after it.
- 11 Reception only Send the invitation six to eight weeks before the reception, the same as a wedding invitation, with an RSVP-by date three to four weeks before.
What a wedding needs from an invitation
RSVPs by name, with meal choices
Each guest says who’s coming and picks a meal; kids are counted on their own, and plus-ones can be limited, turned off, or given to one guest at a time. How →
No app for your guests
Every household gets its own link, texted from your phone or emailed. It opens in any browser, greets them by name and takes their answer in a few taps. How →
A head count the venue can use
Set the room’s limit and late yeses join a waitlist; give the caterer a live link with the head count and meals, no names. How →
Every guest’s photos, together
A QR sign on each table puts everyone’s photos on one wall, with a slideshow for the reception screen. How →
Advice to keep
Guests leave a note for the two of you with their RSVP, and you print them all as a keepsake. How →
The registry, the hotel, what to wear
Buttons on each guest’s invite for the registry, the hotel block and your wedding website, and the dress code beside the date and place. How →
One invite for the whole weekend
The rehearsal dinner, the wedding and the brunch: each guest gets one link to the ones they’re invited to and answers each, from one text or email. How →
A wedding website
Your story, every event, travel, the registry and your questions answered, at letsparty.rsvp/your-names in your invitation’s look. Guests still RSVP on their own invites. How →
Every wedding party, ready to start
Pick the shower, the bachelor or bachelorette party, the rehearsal dinner or the big day, and it starts with the right words and settings. How →
An opening worth the moment
A wax-sealed letter, French doors, a velvet curtain: more than 30 ways for the invite to open, with music as it opens if you like. How →
A seating chart, and their table
Seat each household, the kids at their own table, print the chart and the A-to-Z list for the door, and each guest sees their table on their invite. How →
One look for the whole weekend
One tap puts every event’s invite and the wedding website in the same design; the QR signs and the seating chart print to match. How →
In English, Spanish or both
The invites, texts and emails in Spanish for the households who read it, and a switch on every invite for everyone else. How →
A wedding website in your invitation’s look
Here’s one for a made-up couple’s weekend: their story, three events, travel, the registry and the questions everyone asks.
The seating chart, from the same guest list
The RSVPs fill it: everyone who said yes, by name. Seat each household, put the kids at their own table, and print the chart for the venue and an A-to-Z list for the door. When it’s set, each guest sees their table on their own invite, and your wedding website can look it up by name behind its password.
For the abuelos too
Send the invitations in Spanish to the households who read it and in English to everyone else, from the same guest list. The envelope, the RSVP, the texts and the emails all change, and your own words can have a Spanish version for those households, with a first draft from the AI for you to check. Every guest can switch from the Aa button by their name on the invite.

See the Wedding planUsing Zola or The Knot?
Keep them for the registry if you like; letsparty makes the wedding website too. Zola’s help center says it doesn’t offer digital invitations, and The Knot sells paper ones with matching emails. letsparty sends the invitations themselves, texted from your phone or emailed, for the wedding and every party around it.

Questions couples ask
Are digital wedding invitations okay to send?
Yes. Digital invitations are widely accepted for weddings, and they make answering easy for everyone. If a few relatives would treasure a paper card, mail them one and send everyone else the digital invitation.
Can I send wedding invitations by text?
Yes. With letsparty, each invitation is texted from your own number, so guests recognize who it’s from, or emailed if you prefer. Each couple or family gets its own link with their names on it.
Do I need a wedding website to collect RSVPs?
No. Each guest’s invitation link is where they answer, by name, with their meal choice, and the answers add themselves up for you. If you’d like one anyway, letsparty makes a wedding website too: your story, every event, travel and the registry, and guests who can’t find their invite get it there by email.
Do guests need an app or an account to RSVP?
No. The invitation opens in any phone’s browser, greets them by name and takes their answer in a few taps, with a larger-text button for anyone who needs it.
