Can I send invitations via WhatsApp or text message?

Learn about your options for sharing wedding invitations beyond email.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: WedSites sends ecards via email, but you can share your website link or personalized RSVP links via WhatsApp or text manually.

Email is the primary method

WedSites is designed to send digital invitations via email because:
- Email allows tracking (opened, clicked, delivered)
- Personalized links work automatically
- Household names display correctly
- RSVP responses link to the right guest

Sharing via WhatsApp or SMS

While you can't send ecards directly through WhatsApp, you can:

Option 1: Share your website link
1. Copy your website URL
2. Paste it into WhatsApp or a text message
3. Send to your guests

Option 2: Share personalized RSVP links
1. Go to Guests and find the guest
2. Click on their name to view details
3. Copy their personalized RSVP link
4. Send via WhatsApp or text

Things to consider

When sharing links manually:
- You won't get tracking data (opens, clicks)
- Guests still need to look up their name to RSVP
- You'll need to send individually or in small groups
- The ecard design won't display in the message

Best approach for WhatsApp users

If many guests prefer WhatsApp:
1. Send the email invitation first (for tracking)
2. Follow up via WhatsApp with a reminder and link
3. Use your website's QR code on printed materials

Tips

  • Always include clear instructions with shared links
  • Test the links yourself before sending
  • Consider email for formal invitations, WhatsApp for reminders
  • Some guests may need both methods
