How to Send a Wedding Invitation on WhatsApp
Send one link, not a heavy video file. Guests tap it, hear the music, see the map, and RSVP without downloading anything.
Send the invitation as a WhatsApp link 6–8 weeks before the wedding. Guests tap it, open the page in their browser, and RSVP on that page. They do not need an app or a download.
Why a link works better than a video file
A video invitation is a large file. On a slow connection it stalls, and once it is sent you cannot update the venue. A wedding website link stays light, plays music when the guest taps, and shows the latest map and schedule.
- 1. Pick the ceremony design Hindu, Nikah, Anand Karaj, Catholic, Jain, South Indian, or Gujarati. Start from the wedding invitation templates.
- 2. Add names, date, and the map Write the venue the way guests will search for it, and attach the Google Maps pin.
- 3. Publish and copy the link The guest page is free for 3 days, then $5.99 once to keep it live.
- 4. Send it in WhatsApp Paste the link with a short note. Send it to family groups and to people one by one when the group is too noisy.

Questions
How many days before the wedding should I send the invitation?
Send it 6–8 weeks before the wedding. For a destination wedding, send it 10–12 weeks before so guests can book travel.
Do guests need WhatsApp to open it?
They need the link. WhatsApp is how most people in India receive it. The page itself opens in Chrome, Safari, or any browser.
Can I update the venue after I have sent the link?
Yes. Update the invitation once. Everyone who opens the same link sees the new map and time.
