Announce it before the cards go out
Tell family groups and close friends that the invitations will come digitally, and from which number. A guest who is expecting the card opens it; a guest who is surprised by an unknown link may ignore it.
Make every card personal
Put the guest's own name on the card. A personal card feels like an invitation, not a broadcast, and it lets you control exactly who is invited.
Include everything guests need
A good digital wedding card answers every question a guest would otherwise phone you about:
- The couple's names and the hosting families
- Date, time and the order of events (church or mosque, then reception)
- Venue with a map link
- Dress code, if there is one
- How to RSVP, and by when
- That the card is the entry pass and should be shown at the gate
Send it from a familiar number
Cards sent from a family member's or committee member's number are trusted far more than cards from a number guests don't recognise. Add a short personal message above the link.
Do not forget guests without smartphones
Older relatives may use basic phones. Send them the key details by SMS, and keep their names on the guest list so ushers can find them by name or phone number at the gate.
Use the card at the gate
When each card carries a unique QR code, ushers can scan guests in from their own phones. Gate-crashers are stopped, a card cannot be used twice, and you can see who has arrived.
Tukiohub does all of this: you design the card once, every guest gets a personal card with their own QR code to share on WhatsApp or SMS, RSVPs come back into your guest list, and ushers scan the same card on the day.
