Ecards are always current

When guests click the link in their email, they see the current version of your ecard, not the version from when you sent the email. This means:

You can fix mistakes. If you spot a typo after sending, just edit it. Everyone who clicks the link going forward will see the corrected version.

You can update details. If venue details or timing changes, update your ecard and guests will see the new information.

Be mindful of changes. Since content isn't locked at the time of sending, any changes you make will be visible to all guests. Double-check before editing if you've already sent emails.

Tips

Be thorough. Unlike save the dates, invitations should include all the essential details: who, what, when, where, and how to respond.

Host line sets the tone. "Together with their families" is traditional. You can change it to just your names, your parents' names, or skip it entirely.

Include RSVP instructions. Tell guests how to RSVP, especially if you're using the online RSVP feature.

Preview after changes. If you edit your invitation after sending emails, preview it again to make sure everything looks right for guests who haven't viewed it yet.
