--- title: 'Love Envelope, Invitations worth opening.' description: 'Design a love invitation your guests actually open, then send it as one link. Six designs, replies collected, $100 once.' source: 'https://envelope.love' --- # Make a love invitation worth opening. Choose a design, write your details, share one link. Your guests open a full-screen invitation with your names, your date and the way to the door. This is the plain markdown copy of https://envelope.love, published by Love Envelope for machine readers. The page itself carries the same words. Start one at https://envelope.love/create. Publishing is free for 24 hours, and $100 once keeps it online for good. ## How it works Three steps to send it. Fill in the details you would have had printed, choose how it looks, and you are handed a link to send. Most people are done in five minutes, and everything stays changeable. 1. **Say who the two of you are.** Your two names, the date, the venue, your photo and the words you want your guests to read. Eight short steps, and nothing is locked in. 2. **Choose how it looks.** Six compositions, ten colour palettes, seven typefaces and a choice of paper, mixed however you like. Move between them freely, your details carry across untouched. 3. **Send one link.** Publishing is free and takes a second. You get one link to share anywhere you already talk to your guests, and the invitation itself stays in your account to change whenever you like. ## The designs Six to choose from. Six different compositions, not one card in six paint jobs. Colours, typeface and paper are chosen separately, so the layout you want never costs you the palette you want. - **Atelier.** Ink set enormous down the middle, one pressed stem in the corner. Live sample: https://envelope.love/i/atelier - **Noir.** A hairline frame with the date cut into the rule. Parts down the middle. Live sample: https://envelope.love/i/noir - **Verdure.** Everything ranged left, foliage running the full right edge. Live sample: https://envelope.love/i/verdure - **Poster.** No flowers at all. Names the size of a headline, ranged hard left. Live sample: https://envelope.love/i/poster - **Arch.** A single arch holding your photograph, closing around it as it opens. Live sample: https://envelope.love/i/arch - **Horizon.** A band of solid colour over paper, names reversed out of the dark half. Live sample: https://envelope.love/i/horizon ## What is inside Everything included. The small things that make it feel real, all at the one price: replies, your photograph, twelve languages, and a private page to watch it arrive. - **Replies, without the chasing.** Guests answer at the bottom of the invitation. You get a running count of who is coming and how many they are bringing, on a page inside your account that only you can open. - **A preview worth sending.** Paste your link into a message and it unfurls with your names, your date and your venue set on your chosen paper, not a bare grey box. - **An envelope that opens.** Guests land on a closed cover carrying your initials. One tap and it lifts away to the invitation underneath. - **A countdown to the day.** Days, hours and minutes until it happens, counting down every time somebody opens the link. - **The way to the door.** Venue, full address and a map link that opens in whichever app your guest already uses. - **Straight into their calendar.** A button under the date that puts your day into a guest’s own calendar, on an iPhone, in Outlook or in Google. Nothing to type and nothing to get wrong. - **The whole day, not just the date.** The order of the day, what to wear, getting there, somewhere to stay, what to do about presents, the questions everybody asks, and who to ring on the day. Every one of them optional: leave one blank and it is simply not there. - **Your photograph.** Upload one picture and it sits inside the invitation under an arch, the way it would be printed on real stationery. - **In your guests’ language.** Twelve languages, from English and Spanish through to Turkish, Albanian and Macedonian. Every word around your own, the countdown, the reply form, even the date, is written the way your guests read. - **Built for a phone.** Almost every guest will open this on a phone, halfway through something else. That is the screen it was designed on. - **Yours, and only yours.** Sign in and you can edit the invitation, take it offline, put it back, or delete it and every reply for good. Signed in as you, and nobody else. A forwarded link cannot do any of it. ## Instead of printing Nothing to print. Printing and posting a hundred cards runs into hundreds of dollars and weeks of waiting. This is one link, ready the moment you finish it. - **No printing bill.** A hundred cards, a hundred envelopes, and a quote that climbs again for foil, a second colour or a longer list. Here the list can be any length you like at the one price. - **Nothing in the post.** No addresses to copy out, no stamps to buy, and nobody left waiting on a card that never turned up. It arrives where you already talk to your guests. - **Ready the day you write it.** A press wants days for the proof and days more for the run, and the post wants a week after that. You can build this in an evening and have replies by the morning. - **Changes cost nothing.** A moved time or a new venue would mean the whole run printed again and posted again. Here you change the words, and the link your guests already hold shows the new version. - **No paper wasted.** No proofs, no misprints, no box of spares, and no hundred cards in a hundred bins the week after. Nothing is cut down for it and nothing is thrown away. - **The tradition kept.** The envelope, the seal, the paper under the type and the moment it opens are all still here. It is the press and the postbox this does without, not the ceremony of it. ## One payment, kept forever $100, once. Is your day not worth a hundred dollars? You will spend more than this on one centrepiece. This is the part every guest actually holds, and it stays online for good. Publish free for 24 hours first. You only pay when you decide to keep it. A free invitation emails 5 guests so you can watch one arrive. Keeping it forever raises that to 1,000. What that covers: - Your invitation online permanently, on its own link - Unlimited guests on the link. No per-guest charge, ever - Sent straight to 1,000 inboxes from your own page - Replies collected and counted for you - Every design, palette, typeface and paper, changeable whenever you like - Your photograph and your own words, exactly as you write them - Twelve languages for your guests to read it in - Your own account: edit it, take it offline, or delete it entirely No subscription. No renewal. Nothing to cancel. ## Questions Before you start. What it costs, what happens after you send it, and what your guests actually have to do. If yours is not here, write to us and it probably will be. ### What does it cost? A hundred dollars, once. Building it and previewing every design is free, and you only pay at the very end to publish. There is no subscription, no renewal and no per-guest charge on the link itself, however many people open it. Sending the invitation straight to your guests by email covers a thousand of them, and a free invitation sends five so you can watch one arrive first. ### Can I change it after I have sent it? Yes, as often as you like. Sign in with your email address, open the invitation, change what you need, and the link your guests already have shows the new version. There is only ever one link to send, and it never changes. The same place is where you take the invitation offline, put it back, or delete it entirely. ### Do my guests need an account? No. They tap the link and the invitation opens. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for, nothing to remember. You have one, because your replies and your invitation have to belong to somebody, but there is no password to choose or lose. You put in your email address and type back the five digits we send you. ### Can I collect replies? Yes. A reply form sits at the bottom of every invitation, asking whether each guest is coming, how many of them there are, and anything you should know. You can also ask each of them what they eat and for the names of everybody coming with them, if you want to. Answers land on a private page inside your account, alongside how many times the invitation has been opened. You can set a reply-by date, or switch replies off entirely. ### Can I put the order of the day on it? Yes, and everything around it: what to wear, how to get there, somewhere to stay, what to do about presents, the questions guests keep asking, and one person who is not you to ring on the day. All of it is optional and none of it is filled in for you. Whatever you leave blank simply does not appear, so the invitation is only ever as long as you made it. ### Can I write it in my own language? Yes, twice over. Your own words are stored exactly as you type them, in any language at all. And you pick the invitation’s language from twelve options (English, Albanian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Dutch or Macedonian), which translates everything around your words, down to how the date is written. ### How long does it stay online? As long as you want it. Publishing is free for the first day, so you can send it to a few people and watch it working before you decide. Paying once keeps it up permanently, with nothing to renew and nothing that quietly lapses. And if the free day runs out before you pay, only the link goes quiet: nothing is deleted, you carry on editing it and reading your replies as normal, and paying puts the link straight back. ## One link, that is all It takes five minutes. Your date is already set. Build the whole thing, see exactly how it looks, and only pay when you are ready to send it.
