Online wedding invites · New Zealand
Wedding invites online, free, with the replies sorted
Pick a look, pop in your names, date and venue, and send it to everyone tonight. Each household replies on its own link, so you're not chasing answers through Messenger, texts and the whānau chat.
How do online wedding invites work in NZ?
You make your invite and a matching wedding site, then email each household a personal link. When they open it they see the day, the venue and where to stay, and they tell you who's coming to what. On Starter that's free for up to 50 guests, and we never ask for card details.
Keen on something to hold? Design a card (it starts as a save the date, and you can rewrite every line), save it as a PDF and print it at home or at Warehouse Stationery. When you need more room or the extras, you pay once in NZD, from $65.

Free, and what you pay for
Starter does a small wedding properly. If you need more room or the extras, it's a single payment, not a subscription.

Online invites, posted ones, or both?
Plenty of Kiwi couples send online and post a handful of printed copies. Here's how the options stack up.
| Question | Online Wedding Invitation | Printed and posted | A picture in Messenger |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it costs | Nothing for up to 50 guests | Printing, envelopes and NZ Post stamps for every household | Free, but you do all the tracking |
| How quickly it lands | As soon as you hit send | Allow extra days: NZ Post delivers letters on fewer days now | Instantly, if you have everyone's details |
| Getting replies | Each household answers on its own link, per event | Reply cards or phone calls | Answers scattered across chats |
| Whānau overseas | Works anywhere; WhatsApp sending on Signature | International postage and a long wait | Fine, if they're on the same app |
| Guests who like paper | Post a printed copy with a QR code to reply (Signature) | Perfect | Print it yourself |

Things people ask us
Is it actually free?
Yes, for up to 50 guests on Starter, with no time limit and no card details. You get your invite and website, email sending, RSVPs for each event, te reo Māori headings and a card to download. Paid plans start at $65 NZD, paid once.
Will older guests be okay with an online invite?
Most will. For anyone who'd rather have paper, post them a printed copy; on Signature each one can carry a QR code that opens their own reply page. Or ring them and enter their answer yourself.
Can we put te reo Māori on the invite?
Yes. Write your own lines anywhere, and switch on bilingual headings on the website. Our invite wording guide has bilingual examples to start from.
How do we send to family in Australia or overseas?
The link works anywhere. Email it from your dashboard, or on Signature send each household its own WhatsApp message from your phone. Guests flying in will want the date 9–12 months ahead.
Can we print our invites?
Yes. Save the card as a PDF and print it at home or at a print shop. A PNG is handy for sending in a message.
When should invites go out?
Around three months before the day for most NZ weddings, and earlier if you're marrying over summer, on a long weekend or with guests flying in.
Do guests need an account?
No. They open their link and reply. No app, no password.
