Your invitation isn't a card. It's a page that opens.
Your guests tap once and the doors swing open: your names, your photo, the countdown to the day. The save-the-date goes out for free – as a link for the family chat or a QR code on a printed card. Once everything is settled, you add the full invitation at the very same address: venue, schedule, dress code, seating and RSVP.
Which design do you like?
No credit card – Sent within 10 minutes
Printed invitations are expensive, final — and silent.
The venue changes, the time shifts, directions turn out to be trickier than you thought: on paper every one of those is a reprint. And you still won't know who is coming until you start ringing round. A digital invitation takes ten seconds to change — and it collects the answers for you.
Sent in three steps
No designer, no appointment at the printers, no waiting.
Pick a design
27 designs — from a ballroom to an enchanted garden to a picture palace. Each with its own entrance, its own typefaces and its own music. One click and the preview is there.
Add your words
Names, date, venue, schedule, dress code. Never a blank page: one click fills every field with example text you simply rewrite in your own words.
Send the link
A short link for WhatsApp, a QR code for the printed save-the-date card. Both lead to the same page – and it stays the same page even when you add the full invitation later.
Why guests look at it twice
An invitation is allowed to feel like a moment rather than a form.
The moment before they read
Instead of a page that is simply there, your guests first stand in front of closed doors. One tap and the camera pushes through them — onto your names, your photo, your date. Every design has its own entrance: a ballroom door, a garden gate, a stage curtain.
A whole page, not a card
Below the cover it keeps going: a taste of your photos, the schedule with every time slot, venue and directions, the dress code, who sits where – and the RSVP at the very bottom. That is the full invitation, and it is part of the paid plans. What goes live for free is the save-the-date: entrance, names, date and countdown.
You build it yourself — and watch it happen
Your real invitation sits next to the form as a live preview. Switch designs, type, turn a section on: everything appears instantly on the phone beside you. Building and previewing the complete invitation costs nothing – you decide only afterwards how much of it goes live for your guests.
27 designs. No template feeling.
Every design is its own piece of work — not the same layout in a different color. Its own artwork, its own typefaces, its own movement.
- Its own entrance. Doors, gates, curtains — each design opens in its own way.
- Its own typefaces. Curated pairings of serif, script and sans, chosen to suit the occasion.
- Paper and finish. Smooth, grain or linen; ornaments as lozenge, filigree or leaf; letterpress ink, foil or blind emboss.
One link. The whole day.
Invitation-only services end on the wedding day. At Photogala that is where the same link starts.
The invitation
Whoever opens the link sees your invitation – free as a save-the-date with names, date and countdown, later in full with venue, schedule and RSVP.
The gallery
From the morning of your date the same address leads into the photo gallery. Your guests get nothing new – they open the link they have had all along and upload their pictures. How many guests and photos it holds depends on your plan.
The memory
Every guest's photos in one place, with your thank-you note. Anyone who saved the invitation finds the whole day waiting at exactly the same address.
That is precisely why the QR code on the save-the-date is worth printing: it outlives the party.
What is waiting behind the doors
The countdown is part of the free save-the-date. Every other section belongs to the full invitation: you can build and preview them any time, they go live with a plan. Each section can be switched on and off individually – and added later without ever changing the link.
Countdown
Days, hours and minutes to your date. Optionally as a scratch card that has to be revealed first.
Photo taster
A mosaic of your favorite pictures — long before the day itself.
Schedule
From the reception drinks to the midnight snack: time, what happens, and who is looking after it.
Venue & directions
Address, map link and your own notes on parking or arriving.
Seating plan
Guests search for their name and see straight away which table is theirs.
Dress code
What you would like your guests to wear — as an engraved plate, with your colors if you want them.
RSVP
Accept or decline in under a minute. The answers land in your guest list.
Song requests
Guests write down their songs; you and your DJ see the list.
Accommodation, gifts and freely written sections join whenever you need them – they are part of the full invitation as well.
One destination, many ways in
The link is short enough for a printed card and works in every messenger.
- QR code included. Ready to print on save-the-dates, posters or place cards.
- Two languages at once. Every text can be stored in German and English – guests automatically see their own language. Multilingual events are part of the Premium plan.
- Matching print. Design invitation cards, place cards and menus right in the Design Studio; the print-ready templates come with the Plus plan and up.
Your guests open a link — not an account
The invitation is the first thing your guests see of your celebration. It should ask nothing of them.
No sign-up
The invitation opens without registration — and without quietly creating a guest account in the background.
No third-party services
The typefaces are served from our own machines rather than Google's, and no advertising tracker runs on the invitation.
Servers in the EU
Your data sits on European servers — GDPR-compliant, with no detour through third countries.
