How Online Cards Work

How online cards work

Watch the video tutorial above on how to design your online card and how they work. 

Whether you are sending a wedding invitation, save the date or rehearsal dinner invitation, the online cards all work the same. You will first design your online card by either starting from scratch or using one of our designs.

Step 1: Card

Design your digital card. All the tools you need to design are in the left navigation. Play around, design & have fun!

Step 2: Email

Design and customize the email that your guests will receive first. This email will link to your event page (Step 3), and your event page features your digital card.

Step 3: Page

Design and customize your event page. On this step you can choose to take RSVPs or link to your wedding website to take RSVPs instead. 

Step 4: Recipients

Add the names/s and emails of the guests who will be receiving your onilne card. Please note that names on your recipient list are exactly what will show up on your email under the "to" section. Click right into any field to edit and save.

To set up your Recipient list properly, please review this FAQ carefully.

Step 5: Pay & Send

Pay & send when you're ready!

Online card pricing

Online cards (save the dates, invites, rehearsal dinner invitations, etc.) are $0.90 per send if you're sending over 9 emails / texts, or $1.20 if you're sending 1-9 emails / texts.

Please note that all Bliss & Bone products are separate, and paid separately. You get to pick and choose what you do and don't want to use for your event. We have lots of clients that use our full suite of products, while other clients use just one - you decide!

The guest experience

Watch the video below to see the full guest experience. 

Your guests will first receive the email that you designed, and that email will click through to your event page that features your digital card.

Finally, your guests will either RSVP on that page, submit their contact information, or click the link to your wedding website to RSVP (whichever option you have set up on the Page step of the online card builder).

Sending online cards in batches

You can absolutely send online cards in as many batches (or one-offs) as you want! Many people like to send out a first batch of save the dates or invitations while they collect emails from the rest of their guests. That's a perfectly good way to do it!

Printing a small batch or download your online card design

We often get the question "Can we just print one copy (or a few) of our online invitation?" or "Can we download our design?".

Unfortunately we don’t have the option to just print one copy or download your design, largely due to how the printing process works.

Printing just one copy is not cost effective because printing is so much in the setup of everything. Prior to printing anything we have to setup the print files, setup the printer, do test samples, adjust the color, print the final run, setup the trimmer, trim, etc. Once all the setup is done, it’s essentially the same cost to print 1, 5 or 25 - which is why our minimum is 25.

Our recommendaiton is to find a high-res screen and take the largest screenshot you can. It won’t be perfect, but that's your best option to get a reasonably high-res printed version of your online save the date or invitation.
 

Can I have a custom URL for my online card or use my email for the sending email?

Unfortunately not! For maximum deliverability to your guests, the "from" email cannot be changed, and there cannot be custom URLs for the online cards.
