What this invitation does for you

Hosted by the family

The invitation says who is hosting, the replies come to them, and the couple gets to enjoy the day instead of organizing it.

Guests of every age

No app and no account. For the few guests who are offline, call them and add their answers to the list yourself.

Fifty years in one picture

The wedding photo from 50 years ago, a recent one, gold where it belongs. The design is made for this couple.

A seating plan for the meal

Seat the family by branch, with the couple's oldest friends close to them. Change it in a minute when a reply changes.

Frequently asked questions

Who hosts a 50th anniversary party?

Traditionally the couple's children, often with the grandchildren. The invitation names the hosts at the end: "Hosted by their children, Susan, Mark and Ellen."

What about older guests who do not use smartphones?

The link opens on any phone or computer, with no app or account, so many older guests reply themselves. For anyone offline, call them or send a card, and add their answers to the list yourself.

Is it OK to say no gifts?

Yes, and for a golden anniversary it is common. End with "No gifts, please" or "Your presence is the only gift they wish for."

Can the invitation include old photos?

Yes. The design is made for the couple, so the wedding photo and a recent one can be part of it. Send good-quality scans with your inquiry.

How much does it cost?

$49 once per event for up to 150 guests, with no subscription and no charge per guest. The design is made for your occasion, and you see it finished before you pay anything.
