I is for Invitation Cards – A to Z Challenge 2021
Do you like this wedding invitation card design?
Couples have a lot on their plate and the wedding invitation card is one huge part of that plate. Jo Dikhta hai, wohi bikta hai! This one-liner defines a lot for us Indians.
Couples maintain a separate budget for invitation cards and I’ve known a few who spent a lot just on getting a whacky design for their invitations.
Sending general invitation cards:
Sending a plain invitation card would not give that feeling. The card must have some whacky or classy design. I’ve seen some creatively designed wedding invitation cards. And yes, it’s because of the unique design, I still remember the wedding to date.
Change arrives in the Digital era:
But with the digital era gaining popularity, couples who don’t have time to travel to distant places just choose to call and send the wedding invitation card via any messenger platforms – WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.
While many don’t mind being invited via a text, many prefer being personally invited. Sending an invitation via text or call can signify that you are not that important.
What are my thoughts on the wedding invitation card?
Spending a lot on invitation cards does not make sense to me. Inviting them via text or personally inviting is a decision the couple reserves to take. In the end, I believe it’s all about the way and manner in which you invite your guests.
Even if you invite them via a phone call and send them the card via text, let them know how you expect their grace and blessings on your important day.
I’d like to end this post by asking you guys,
What do you prefer? Being invited personally or via a phone call/text?

I also don’t prefer wasting so much money on wedding cards. They are of no use later, either are kept lying, or given away in scrap, or sometimes used in crafts. In the present times of sustainable living, we need to make sure to save paper and save environment. A personal call or visit, digital card, all can serve the purpose of invitation too.
I know right. It’s not just saving cost. It saves time, environment, and what not!
Though the idea of using digital invites is noble, many a hearts would be broken by this idea. Specially in North India, people love the opulence and glamor of a wedding. The wedding cards are a part of that. But yes, it cost effective and good for the environment. No denying that.
Yes, this is a thought which will make a few happy and a few sad!
totally couldn’t agree more. Your thoughts and advice is very practical and something that I will be totally following soon 🙂
I am glad we are following what we preached!
I fully agree going all lavish on wedding cards doesn’t make sense. It is better to go digital, and invest that money at some other place.
I agree with you. Thank you so much for reading!
I am old school and still like paper invites. Especially simple artistic ones.
There is nothing wrong with that as well!
So in this lockdown my sister got married and as usual we designed Invitation cards for family and friends. But unfortunately most of them didnot receive the courier copy due to lockdown and keeping that in mind we created digital cads too and shared that with them. Also, called everyone , so I guess invitation card is important but digital mode with personal touch is also can be a great option
I could not have said it better! This is one way to be sure and extra cautious.
Invitation cards are an integral part of the wedding. The days of splurging on cards has gone, and one always design the best cards and send them virtually with a bit of personalization.
I know right. Also, you save on money, and the environment as well. Thanks for reading!
I really like a combination of wedding cards and personalised invites. I agree that it is important to save trees and not print thousands of cards but a few physical cards can make a huge impact.
I totally agree with you. That is the best thing to do!
