What to Consider When Sending Virtual Invites
Sending virtual wedding invitations has a few key differences in the overall process. If you are sending virtual invites, make sure you instruct your guests how you would like them to RSVP. You can either collect RSVPs through your wedding website, via email or ask that your guests send a text to let you know if they will be attending, and whether that will be in-person or virtually via LoveStream.
Wording for Virtual Wedding Invitations
Remember three key things about your virtual wedding invitations. First, make sure it’s clear to guests that they are not being asked to attend the wedding in-person. It’s bad enough when guests bring plus-ones without asking. Can you imagine if a bunch of guests showed up that you hadn’t accounted for? It could make things super stressful.
Secondly, make sure to specify the time zone when talking about when the wedding is happening. If you’re getting married in New York at 5:00pm, your west coast guests will need to tune in at 2:00.
Finally, make sure guests know where to watch your wedding live stream. If you don’t yet have the link to where guests can watch, let them know that you’ll follow up with an email before the wedding.
