Frequently asked questions
- Should we send a wedding invitation video or a website link?
- Many families send both. A video is great for WhatsApp Status; the link carries Google Maps directions and RSVP. If a timing changes, a video has to be re-edited, while we update the website on the same link.
- Can a wedding website invitation also play celebratory music?
- Yes. Background music can be switched on for your invitation, so it plays when guests open it.
