How do you send engagement party invitations online?

Pick an engagement design and customize the colors, fonts, photos, and envelope liner. Add the party details, then build your guest list by importing a spreadsheet, pulling contacts from your email, or typing names in. Turn on RSVP tracking and add any custom questions you need. Send a test to yourself, then send by email or text message (in supported countries) and watch responses arrive on your dashboard.

How far in advance should you send engagement party invitations?

Send four to six weeks ahead for a party close to home, and two to three months when guests are traveling or the date falls near a holiday. Most couples hold the party within a few months of the proposal. Sending late is the main reason people decline, and it also delays the wedding save the date, which usually follows soon after.

Who should be invited to an engagement party?

The usual rule is that anyone invited to the engagement party should also be invited to the wedding, so start from the wedding list rather than building a separate one. That is easier digitally: the guest list you build here stays in your address book, so you can reuse it for save the dates, the wedding invitation, and thank you notes instead of retyping it each time.

Can we use our engagement photos on the invitation?

Yes. Add your own photos to a designer template and adjust the layout, colors, and fonts around them, or upload a finished card of your own as a .jpg, .png, or PDF. Either way it arrives inside the animated envelope with background music, and guests can send congratulations back through built-in messaging.

How much do digital engagement party invitations cost?

Greenvelope is a paid, ad-free platform with a flat one-time price starting at $19, set by the number of people you are sending to, with no subscription required and no per-guest charges. Annual memberships are available if you are sending several mailings across the wedding year. You can build and preview a card and send to up to 10 people in trial mode before you pay.

How does Greenvelope calculate people?

Each person (with or without email) added to the mailing list counts as (1) person. For example, "The Smith Family" of John, Jill, Tim, and Lauren would count as (4) people.

What if I am unsure how many people I need?

In this case, we recommend purchasing a smaller package initially. You can then easily purchase additional people from within your mailing on an as needed basis.

Can I send in multiple batches?

Greenvelope allows you to resend invitations or send invitations to new contacts at any time.

What if I need multiple versions of my card?

The best way to set this up would be to have two different mailings. You will need to purchase a separate "single mailing" package for each version.

Do you offer RSVP tracking?

Yes! Greenvelope's robust RSVP tracking makes planning effortless. You can collect RSVPs, track plus ones, gather meal selections, send RSVP reminders, set up seating charts, and more.

Can I also send my invitations via text message?

In addition to email, you can send your Greenvelope invitations and cards via SMS text message, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, or a sharable link.

Do you offer digital thank you notes or save the dates?

Yes, in addition to our digital invitations and RSVP tracking, Greenvelope offers both save the dates and thank you notes. Each mailing type provides easy-to-use features, such as address collection on save the dates and individual customization for thank you notes.

What if I need to update my invitation after I've sent it?

You can do that! One of the many benefits of digital invitations is that you can add additional information, update your card, or quickly follow-up with guests with ease.

Can I send a sample to myself?

Yes! When you arrive at the 'Send' step after designing your mailing, your account information will automatically be added so you can easily send yourself a test and make sure everything looks exactly how you want it.

Our Help Center is always available to help guide you through the process and answer common questions. If you have additional questions, our in-house customer support team is available 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM PDT Monday - Thursday and 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM PDT Friday via support@greenvelope.com or 1-888-737-5635.
