What Is a Digital Wedding Invitation?

You surely have often encountered wedding invitations in digital form. Digital wedding invitations are online versions of physical invitations. In general, these invitations are more interactive, attractive, easy to make, and sustainable.

You can make online wedding invitations easily because you only need to do a few easy designs. In fact, some platforms provide templates you can choose from.

With just clicks, you can send the invitations to hundreds of contacts through social media and WhatsApp messages without printing anything. This means that it can be an eco-friendly effort to reduce disposable paper use.

Moreover, disposable paper can affect the environment significantly. For example, data from Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Sampah Nasional (SIPSN) revealed that in 2024, paper waste contributed to 11.21% of the national waste accumulation.

The sources of wasted paper include mill waste or wood mill waste, pre-consumer waste (e.g., envelopes, printer scraps), and post-consumer waste (e.g., used newspapers, used invitations, used packaging).

Therefore, by creating digital invitations, you can reduce demands on new paper and contribute to the waste percentage of disposable paper.

How Much Is a Digital Wedding Invitation?

Although digital wedding invitations do not require printing costs, it does not mean that they can be made for free. The cost of creating digital invitations will usually be used to pay for website hosting and all its features.

The cost is approximately IDR 50,000–IDR 500,000 based on the number of active periods of the invitation. This fee is used to pay for renting a capable server that supports the website, preventing it from going down when visited by many people. In addition, this fee also generally includes customization features and invitation designs that will be created.
