Where paper is better
- It is tangible, and for some elders it is the only invitation that counts.
- It is a keepsake, and handing one over is a gesture in itself.
- It does not depend on a phone, a connection or a link.
Where digital is better
- It reaches relatives abroad in seconds, with times in their own time zone.
- It can be corrected: a changed venue or time is fixed once.
- It carries the map, the programme, the calendar entry and the RSVP in one place.
- It tells you who is coming, per function, as the replies arrive.
The combination many families choose
Print a simple card for elders and close family, and put a QR code on it that opens the digital card. Everyone has the tradition and the live details. If anything changes, the QR code still works.
Questions people ask
Do I have to give up paper cards?
No. A QR code on a paper card links to the digital one, so you can use both.
What if some guests do not use WhatsApp?
The card is a normal web link, so it can be sent by SMS, email or a QR code as well.
