Invitations Set the Tone — But How You Send Them Says Even More

In India, wedding invitations have long been cherished as a symbol of respect, warmth, and tradition. For generations, families have carefully selected card designs, ink colors, and envelope textures, hand-delivering them with boxes of sweets. But today, couples are asking an important question:

Do we still need physical wedding cards? Or is it time to go digital?

With changing lifestyles, global guest lists, and tighter timelines, digital wedding invites are quickly gaining popularity — especially among modern Indian couples.

Let’s explore both options and help you decide what works best for your big day.

Option 1: Traditional Paper Invites

✨ Pros:

  • Timeless and tangible — beautiful keepsakes for close family

  • Valued deeply by elders and guests from older generations

  • Culturally rich, with embossed gold, foil, and handmade artistry

⚠️ Cons:

  • Costly — custom printing, courier charges, packaging add up

  • Time-intensive — design, proofing, and printing can take weeks

  • Difficult to track RSVPs — requires phone follow-ups or manual tracking

  • Not sustainable — significant paper and plastic waste

Option 2: Digital Wedding Invites

✨ Pros:

  • Instant and shareable — send via WhatsApp, SMS, or email

  • Eco-friendly — reduce paper waste and carbon footprint

  • Cost-effective — no printing or courier costs

  • Integrates with RSVP tracking — With Bliss lets guests RSVP per function directly through your invite

  • Easily updated — change event times, venues, or dress codes without reprinting anything

⚠️ Cons:

  • May feel less personal to older guests

  • Requires digital literacy (though WhatsApp links are easy to use)

  • Not a physical keepsake — unless you create a printed version separately

Etiquette Tip: Do Both

Many modern couples are choosing a hybrid approach:

  • Send paper invites to elders, grandparents, or close relatives who value the gesture

  • Use digital invites for friends, extended family, or international guests

  • Use Bliss to unify the experience — even paper invite recipients can visit your website to RSVP

  • Want something quick, elegant, and easy to share? Go digital.

  • Looking to honor tradition and impress elders? Opt for a few curated paper cards.
