Wedding invitations make the first impression on the guests about the marriage. There was a
time when creating the invitations was limited to choosing the design and the rest was left to
the printer s discretion. But those traditional invitations, which merely listed the venue, timing
and some wishes, are passe now. Apart from using technology, the young breed of couples
ensures getting as creative as possible.
From websites to presentations and emails, the World Wide Web has given the newlyweds the
right platform to innovate on. Not only does it act as a perfect invitation platform for the guests
but also gives them space to put up a whole profile of the groom and the bride. Talking about
the benefits of email invitations, Niti Sharma who recently got married, shares, My fiance and
I spent a lot of time thinking about the invitations. Coming from the creative field, we both
wanted something different. Finally we settled for a presentation made by both of us. It included
everything about us; how we met, how our relationship grew and how we finally convinced our
parents for marriage. It earned us accolades from both family and friends.
Another innovation that is fast catching up is invitation through websites. Rubi Taj, Sr. Manager.
HR and Operations, Wserve Technologies Pvt. Ltd., who has created many such websites, feels
that making a website ensures having your own personal space on the Internet just for that
special day. She adds, Wedding websites are getting popular day by day. It is considered quite
fashionable but is usually for a short time. Usually wedding websites include the story behind
the wedding, pictures (pre- and post- wedding)., testimonials by close friends and family.
Some even publish their wedding card on their website. Even the map and location of the
wedding are displayed on these websites which makes it easier for guests. The domain name
itself is a very interesting thing as the name of the bride and groom is usually selected as the
domain name and the website s URL is printed on the wedding card at times so that friends and
family can check their latest pictures (wedding and honeymoon) directly on their website. Even
though we have so many options of doing the same through social networking sites, having your
own wedding website has its own charm.
These relate to each phase of life and have a lot of pictures to update friends and family. Nitin
Saini and Shweta Gehlot share their story, We started our website a few months before our
marriage. The idea was to have an online presence of ourselves and our marriage. Both of us
have big and diverse friends groups and a number of them had neve attended a North Indian
wedding. So that was the start and we came up with this wedding site. We stepped into the
world of married life in February 2009, and the fun is still going on. Our website has grown big
enough to be more than just a marriage website as now it has all the pictures of our baby too.
This is a one-stop place for family and friends to connect now.
While innovation is at its peak, there are some who prefer to stick to their privacy. Still they take
the help of the net to invite their guests. Emails have fast become one of the modes of inviting
friends. The lack of formalities involved and the option of getting an immediate reply makes it
convenient to estimate the number of guests. It was very difficult for us to personally go and
invite all our friends and colleagues so we opted for emails. We got our wedding card scanned
and mailed it to all the guests. The acknowledgments received helped to estimate the number
of guests and make the arrangement accordingly, share Ramya Kaushik, a marketing executive.
Indeed, creativity has limits and with Internet becoming an essential in everybody s life, marriage
invitations have become a lot easy and innovative too.​
