An invitation that does the hosting for you

We sent one link on WhatsApp and that was the whole invitation. Half the replies came back the same evening.

I stopped chasing people. Replies arrived on their own and I could see who was still missing without writing a message.

Our families are split between Milan and London. Everyone opened the same page in their own language.

We put the QR poster by the door. Guests scanned it all evening and the photos were waiting for us the next morning.

The photo wall was the part we did not expect to care about. By midnight there were four hundred pictures in it.

It took one evening to put together, and my mother, who installs nothing, opened it on the first try.

One price, paid once. No subscription and no charge per guest, which is rarer than it should be.

I moved the date twice and everyone who had already answered simply saw the new one.

We knew the date long before we knew anything else, so we sent that first and kept the rest for later.

The RSVP asked about food and children, so the caterer had real numbers three weeks out instead of a guess.

It looked like something we had made ourselves, not a template. Two people asked who designed it.

The guestbook filled up while I was busy talking to people. I read all of it the next morning.
