View the demoWhen should you send a save-the-date?
Between six and twelve months before the wedding, as soon as the date and the town are settled — especially if guests are travelling from afar or the wedding falls in peak season. The digital save-the-date goes out in a minute and can be updated if a detail changes.
Digital save-the-date: what should it include?
Your names, the date, the town, and a line to say the invitation will follow. The countdown does the rest. There is no need to say more: a save-the-date is there to block the date in everyone’s diary.
Frequently asked questions
When should I send the save-the-date and the wedding invitation?
The save-the-date goes out 6 to 12 months before the wedding, as soon as the date and the city are set. The wedding invitation follows 3 to 4 months before, with the venue, the programme and a reply deadline, usually a month before the big day so you can confirm the number of guests to the caterer.
How do I create an animated invitation?
In three steps: 1) you choose a design on joli-mot.fr and order it; 2) you receive the link to your online editor by email, where you enter names, date, venue and text, and set the font, colours and photo — allow 5 to 10 minutes, from a phone or a computer; 3) you copy the link to your page or its QR code and send it. No software, no Canva.
Can I edit the invitation after sending it?
Yes, as often as you like for 24 months. The link sent to your guests never changes: if the time of the ceremony moves or you add the programme later, you just correct it in the editor and everyone sees the updated page.
How do I send an animated invitation by WhatsApp?
Copy the link to your page from the editor and paste it into a WhatsApp chat or group: a preview appears with your names and the image of your invitation. The same link works by SMS, email or Messenger. Sending a link to 10 or 300 people doesn’t change the price.
How long does the page stay online?
24 months from purchase, at no extra cost. That is enough to send a save-the-date a year before the wedding and keep the page after the party.
