A maid of honor gift they feel every day until the wedding
Not another set of towels. Give them a digital invitation and take on the part that wears them out most: inviting the guests and collecting the replies. You order it, you send it, and the answers come back to you.
A classic gift against an invitation
Towels, vases and ornaments with their names on them arrive several times over. An invitation arrives once, and they work in it for months.
| A classic gift | The invitation as a giftfrom $49, once | |
|---|---|---|
| How much use they get from it | It sits in a cupboard until they move house | They work in it every week until the wedding |
| How much work it takes off them | None, a gift is a thing | Inviting the guests and the whole record of replies |
| When they notice it | On the day, in a pile with everything else | Months earlier, when the stress is at its worst |
| Will they remember it a year on | Rarely | The invitation stays as a keepsake at its own link |
| Any risk of a duplicate | Yes, towels and vases arrive several times over | No, there is only one invitation |
| Price | $40 – $120 for a decent gift | $49 for the basic plan, $99 and $149 above it |
A gift that also gives you a role in the planning
The maid of honor takes on part of the work anyway: the bachelorette party, the morning of, a hundred small things on the day. This is the only gift that gives you that role straight away, on the part that exhausts the couple most.
- The account is yours, so you send the link to the guests
- Replies, guest names and allergies land on your screen
- Whoever is silent gets a reminder in one tap
- What you hand the couple is a finished list, not a task
If at some point they want to take it all over, you simply hand them the sign-in details and they change the password, and the invitation and every reply stay exactly as they were.
What it looks like in practice
From the idea to a link you have sent, with no designer, no printer and no waiting.
You build the invitation with their names
All you need is their names, the date and the place. It takes about fifteen minutes and you pay nothing until you publish it.
You show them, and choose a design together
You open the preview on your phone and flip through all 35 designs with their real details in them. The surprise stays a surprise, the choice is theirs.
You pay and publish
Once, with no subscription. The invitation gets its own link, which works on any phone, with no app and no sign-up for your guests.
You send the link to the guests
One message by text or WhatsApp. A guest opens it in their browser, with no app and no account.
The replies come to you
Who is coming, how many of them, who is silent, who is vegetarian. What you hand the couple is a finished list, not a task.
With the invitation comes the whole business of the guests
Everything listed is already in the $49 basic plan. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
One form instead of a hundred messages
A guest taps, enters the names of their party and any allergies. No more “let me know by Friday” in five group chats.
A guest list that fills itself
Every reply lands in the table. The number for the venue is always right, with nothing copied out.
A reminder for whoever is silent
There is always a third of them. One tap opens WhatsApp with the message and the link already written.
The interactive floor plan
Guests are dragged onto tables with a mouse, and the capacity counts itself.
The budget calculator
Per-person items are multiplied by the confirmed head count and drawn into a chart.
The schedule and the maps
Ceremony, reception and accommodation, each with its own time, address and map.
Three lines you can send exactly as they are
It is an unusual gift, so it is worth announcing in one message. Pick the tone that sounds like you.
Before you surprise them
What does a gift like that cost?
The basic plan is $49, the higher ones $99 and $149, all paid once with no subscription. The basic plan already carries the RSVP form, the guest list, reminders, the interactive floor plan, the budget calculator and the data export for the caterer and the DJ, so it is a complete gift on its own. The higher plans add unlimited guests and digital thank-you cards, and Luxury adds a design drawn to their wishes and the QR photo album.
Can I pay for it and let the couple run it themselves?
You can, but then one of them should build the invitation, because the account belongs to whoever opened it and cannot be moved to another address. If you want to keep it in your hands, you open the account and you handle the replies; if they would rather do it themselves, they open it and you pay for the plan when they reach the payment.
When is the best time for a gift like this?
Five to seven months before the wedding. By then the date and the venue are settled but the invitations have not been ordered yet. Leave it too late and the couple has usually already paid a printer. The invitation itself goes out to guests around ten weeks before.
What if they have already ordered printed invitations?
That is no problem; plenty of couples do both: printed ones for grandparents and as a keepsake, digital for everyone else, because that is what carries the RSVP, the maps and the schedule. Your gift is then the part that takes work off them, rather than another piece of paper.
Is it enough as a maid of honor gift?
The wedding party usually gives both a gift and money, so this most often goes alongside, but as the gift they remember. If you want it to go a step further, the Premium and Luxury plans come with a digital thank-you card in the same design.
Do I need details from them in advance?
For a first draft you only need their names, the date and the place. Everything else is filled in later. If you want it to be a complete surprise, build the invitation with what you know and show it to them; the schedule, the photographs and the wording change in a minute.
Build it tonight, show them tomorrow
Enter their names and the date, flip through 35 designs and see how the invitation looks on a phone. You pay only when you decide to publish it.
