If you’re planning a wedding, then you know how much is involved. Big or small, ceremonies take coordination for the location, photographer, flowers, and of course, the invitations.
For an intimate wedding with just a few friends or family members, you may decide to forego the expense and hassle of physical invitations. But you can still send something beautiful to your guests in the form of digital invitations.
These mobile apps are simple, offer attractive options, and take the work out of physical wedding invitation ideas.
1. Wedding-Invitations
For a basic invitation where you choose the background and wording from a variety of options, take a look at Wedding-Invitations.
First, tap the Designs tab on the bottom and scroll through the lovely options. Once you pick one, the Wordings tab will automatically open. Then, review categories like Fall Wedding, Children Inviting, or Religious.
Once you have your design and wording, you can adjust the font style, color, and size in addition to editing the words. When you finish, just save or share your invitation with a tap.
Wedding-Invitations is free and does contain ads. However, they are only at the top or bottom of the screen rather than taking over in full screen like many others. Plus, if you are interested in the premium version which gives you many additional designs, there is an in-app purchase available.
