How to Make a Digital Wedding Invitation: 8 Steps (Free)

This guide follows the actual steps of the Imbitasyon Ko builder, which you can use on a phone or a laptop. It marks what is required and what is optional, so you can publish with the bare minimum and add the rest later, and it shows where the Free plan stops.

Have this ready first

Only the first three rows are needed to publish. The rest can be added later, even after you share the link.

What	Where it goes	Needed to publish?
Groom's and bride's nicknames	Names step	Yes
Event date and venue name	Date, time and location step	Yes, at least one event
A theme	Theme step	Yes, one your plan allows
Time and full address	Same event	No
Google Maps link	Same event	No (guests get a map search from the venue name and address if you skip it)
Sponsors and wedding party	Entourage step	No
Dress code and motif colors	Entourage step	No
Cover photo and gallery photos	Cover and Photos steps	No
Guest names and phone numbers	Manage Guests	No

Step 1: Enter your names and pick a theme

Open /create. Enter the groom's and bride's nicknames, then choose a theme. You do not sign in yet, and nothing is saved on the server until you do. The picker first shows only the free themes; tap Show all 30 themes to preview the rest. Standard themes need a Standard plan or higher when you publish, but you can design with any of them. See how to choose a wedding invitation theme or browse the themes page.

Theme category	Suits
Catholic Elegant	Church ceremonies and formal receptions
Rustic & Boho	Garden or countryside weddings
Beach & Destination	Coastal or resort venues
Filipiniana	Heritage and Filipiniana-inspired weddings
Garden Floral	Outdoor, floral celebrations
Modern Minimal	Simple, contemporary looks

Step 2: Sign in to save

Sign in with Google, or ask for a 6-digit code by email. The code is valid for 10 minutes; check Spam or Promotions if it does not arrive. Your invitation is created and opens in the editor with your names and theme already filled in.

Step 3: Add the date, time and venue

The editor has ten steps, in the order a guest reads the invitation. Start with Date, time & location: the event name, date, start time, venue name and address. Adding a Google Maps link is optional; how to add a Google Maps location shows how. Add a second event for a separate reception.

Editor step	What it holds	Required?
Names & photos	Both nicknames	Yes
Date, time & location	Events, venues, map	Yes
Entourage	Sponsors, wedding party, dress code	No
Cover & greeting	Cover photo, opening style, greeting	No
Photos	Gallery	No
Love story	Timeline of your relationship	No
Music, live & gifts	Music, livestream link, gift details	No
Family & closing	Co-hosting family, closing message	No
Theme, colors & fonts	Look of the invitation	No
Publish & share	Address, publish, links	Yes

Step 4: Add your entourage and dress code

The Entourage step lists your principal sponsors and wedding party under standard role names, plus motif colors (up to 6) and a dress code note. On Free, the published page shows the first 10 entourage names; you can enter more, and all are shown on Standard and Premium. Use the role names from our entourage roles guide.

Step 5: Add photos and the opening

In Cover & greeting, upload a cover photo and pick the opening style: Catholic, Christian, Civil or Islamic. Wording for each is in our wedding invitation wording examples. The gallery is separate from the cover: Free allows 2 gallery photos, Standard 15 and Premium 30.

If you have a wedding monogram, keep it off the cover: the cover photo shows at half opacity under a fade. Our wedding monogram guide covers where it works better.

Step 6: Preview on your phone

The editor shows a live preview beside the form, with a full-screen option. Before you publish, there is also a private preview link for you and family; do not send that one to guests. Check that the map opens, the names are spelled correctly and the layout fits a small screen.

Step 7: Publish

Choose the invitation address (lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, 3 to 40 characters), then publish. The address can be changed only once after publishing; links you already sent to the old address redirect to the new one, but printed QR codes keep the old address, so settle it before printing. Publishing needs both names, one event with a date and venue, and a theme your plan allows. If a theme is locked, the editor tells you to pick a free theme or upgrade.

Step 8: Share and track RSVPs

On the Publish & share step, tap Share invitation to open your phone's share sheet, or copy the link. You can also copy a ready-made message to paste into Messenger, Viber or SMS. Guests need no app or account, and they can RSVP and send wishes on the page. Meta's ad data shows Messenger reaching 65.8 million people in the Philippines in late 2025, reports DataReportal, so it is a natural place to send the link.

To see who opened it, open Manage Guests, add names one by one, many at once (one per line) or import a CSV, then send each guest a personal link one at a time by SMS, Viber or WhatsApp. More on wording and timing: how to share your digital invitation and when to send wedding invitations.

Which plan do you need?

All plans are one-time payments per invitation, and every plan, Free included, stays online with no time limit. Details: free digital wedding invitations and pricing.

Free	₱0	6	20	2	10
Standard	₱499	30	Unlimited	15	All

Builder or design tool?

	Builder (this guide)	Design tool (a graphic)
What guests get	A live web page from one link	An image or PDF you send
RSVP	Built in	Set up separately
Fixing a mistake	Edit; the link stays the same	Re-export and resend

If you would rather design a graphic, see the Canva wedding invitation guide. To decide between a link and a card, read digital vs printed wedding invitations. If you are weighing a full multi-page wedding website instead, our wedding website guide compares what each kind of tool covers.

Before you send it

• Open the invitation on a phone and tap the map.
• Read every name and date aloud once; use the proofreading checklist.
• Skim the 21 invitation mistakes to avoid, especially the three with no clean undo.
• Send the link with a short personal message.
• Check RSVPs each week instead of waiting for the last week.

Start with the names, one event and a theme. Everything else can wait until after the link is out.
