Digital vs paper invitations
Cost, speed, RSVP tracking and keepsake value compared. Which one suits which guests?
The short answer
Digital invitations cost less, go out the same day and collect replies for you. Paper invitations are something guests can keep, and some older relatives still see them as more formal. Many couples use both: paper for close family, digital for everyone else.
Cost
Paper invitations cost more with every guest: printing, envelopes, extras and postage. A digital invitation is one link sent to everyone. On Sunviter the price does not depend on the number of guests.
Speed and delivery
Paper needs printing time and delivery by hand or post. A digital invitation can go out on WhatsApp, by text or by email the day it is ready, and guests abroad get it just as fast.
RSVP tracking
With paper, replies come in one by one and go onto a list by hand. With digital, guests fill in a form and the replies collect in one place.
In short
