Before you press send
Call the elders first
Many families still invite the elders by phone or in person. Send the link after the call, so it arrives as a keepsake of the invitation, not instead of it.
One family, one message
A message with their own name feels like an invitation; a forward in a group feels like news. Send each family its own.
Put the link last, on its own line
WhatsApp then shows the invitation's picture above your words.
Send it four to six weeks before
Earlier for family abroad, who need to book travel — and a short reminder a few days before helps everyone.
Keep the message short
The invitation carries the dates, venues, maps and what to wear, so the message only needs to say who, when and where — and that you would love them there.
A link worth sending
With Invitetale, every family gets its own invitation — opening with their name on it, in a design drawn from your tradition’s own art — and its own message, ready for WhatsApp.

Questions families ask
Is it all right to send a wedding invitation on WhatsApp?
Yes. Most families now send their invitations on WhatsApp, often after a call to the elders. A message with the family's own name and a proper invitation link feels personal, not like a forward.
What should a wedding invitation message say?
Who is getting married, the date and the city, the link to the invitation, and a warm line asking them to come. The invitation itself carries the venues, the times, the maps and what to wear.
When should we send it?
Four to six weeks before the wedding, earlier for family who need to travel, and a short reminder a few days before.
Can each family get its own link?
With Invitetale, yes. Add each family once and each gets its own link that greets them by name, with your message ready to send on WhatsApp — and you can see who has opened it. It is free to try; ₹1,999 once when you send it.
