The Gazette

The Gazette in detail

Your photograph is rendered automatically in black and white with a faint halftone, as though printed on newsprint, which is why almost any picture works here. The text breaks into columns with newspaper-style subheadings, and the schedule reads like a listings section. The details are handled seriously, so the joke never turns cheap.

Right for you if…

• You like invitations with a sense of humor
• You want guests to forward it on because it made them laugh
• You have a photograph that looks good in black and white
• The wedding has a relaxed, informal tone

What this design includes

Whatever the design, every digital wedding invitation carries the same content here, and only the look changes:

• Online RSVP: who is coming, how many with them and their names, allergies, a song request and a note to the couple
• Schedule of the day: from welcome drinks to dinner, each with its own time and venue
• Calendar and maps: buttons for Google and Apple Calendar, and directions to every venue
• Your photographs: this design is built around them; you can add up to two
• A countdown to the big day, and an occasion line under your names
• One link to send by text or WhatsApp, and any change is visible to every guest straight away

How to build this invitation

You put the invitation together for free and watch it come together as you type, and you pay only when you want to publish it and send it to your guests. The whole thing takes about ten minutes:

1. Enter your names, the date, and the time and venue of each event
2. Pick The Gazette (or any of the 35 designs, since you can change your mind)
3. Add your photographs and a note to your guests
4. Publish and share the link, and the replies land on your dashboard

Every plan includes all 35 designs, so which one you choose does not affect the price. The differences are set out on the pricing page. Not sure which design to go for? This helps: how to choose a digital invitation.
