Beach and destination wedding invitations
For a wedding your guests have to book a flight to reach.
A destination invitation is doing something no other invitation has to do: it is asking people to spend money and take time off. That changes what belongs on it. The picture sells the place, but the part that actually earns the yes is underneath: how many days, which airport, roughly what a room costs, and when you need to know by. Guests who can answer those four questions in one sitting reply; guests who have to write and ask put it off.
It is also the clearest case for sending a link rather than a card. Destination details change: the hotel block opens, a shuttle gets added, a welcome dinner moves an hour. With a digital invitation the address stays the same and the page updates, so nobody is working from an old version, and the save-the-date can go out early, long before any of that is settled.
Every beach & destination design
Each one opens as a live invitation you can scroll through, the same page your guests would see. Every plan includes all 35 designs, so the design you pick does not change the price.
Getting a beach & destination invitation right
Send it early. Much earlier
Six to eight weeks is the rule for a wedding at home. For a destination wedding, guests need eight to twelve months for a save-the-date and three months for the invitation itself. Our free save-the-date link is built for exactly this: names, date and a countdown, live before you have booked anything else.
Answer the money question without being asked
A line such as "rooms at the hotel from about $140 a night, block held until March 12" does more for attendance than any amount of design. Guests are not deciding whether they like you; they are deciding whether they can afford three days in June.
Pin the venue, not the town
Foreign addresses confuse maps apps. Every design here takes a maps link or coordinates rather than a typed address, so the pin lands on the actual gate and not in the middle of the nearest village.
What every one of these includes
The look is the only thing that changes between designs. Every digital wedding invitation we make carries the same working parts:
- Online RSVP: who is coming, how many with them and their names, allergies, a song request and a note to you
- Schedule of the day: two to four events, each with its own time and venue
- Calendar and maps: Google and Apple Calendar buttons, and directions to every venue
- One link to send by text or WhatsApp: change a detail and every guest sees the new version without anything being resent
Questions about beach & destination invitations
How far ahead should a destination wedding invitation go out?
Send a save-the-date eight to twelve months ahead so guests can book flights at a sensible price, and the full invitation about three months before the day. Set the RSVP deadline earlier than you would at home (six to eight weeks out), because guests are committing to travel, not an afternoon.
What has to be on a destination invitation that a normal one does not?
The nearest airport, the number of days you are expecting people for, an idea of accommodation cost and how to book it, and anything you are organizing between events: a welcome dinner, a shuttle, a group boat. Everything else is the same.
Can guests add the dates to their calendar in another time zone?
Yes. The calendar buttons on the invitation carry the event's own time zone, so a guest adding it in New York sees the correct local time for a ceremony in Italy rather than a nine-hour mistake.
