Anyone bypassing paper invites?

Hi
We’re getting married in June 2022 (the 4 day weekend now that bank holidays have been moved/added).
I’ve created our wedding website through this app and am seriously considering just directing guests to this, rather than sending out invites. It contains all the info they need, they can RSVP and I can keep them up to date with everything. To be honest, I really can’t be bothered with the whole traditional paper invites! Has anyone else done it this way and, if so, did it work out ok? My only concern is evening guests won’t pay attention when the RSVP and will rock up to the ceremony!

    Yep, we've gone paperless too- it's quite nice because you can see who received/opened the invite and can also send reminders for RSVP if people haven't responded Smiley smile

    Hey Smiley smile No, we've gone through paperlesspost. It's not free- it's was probably about £18 to send it to our 50ish guests (so 26 invites or so). But they have really nice options- you can easily see when people get it, when they open it, they have an easy option to reply to you, you can also add on questions about food, ask for an address if needed etc. So seemed worth it to us Smiley smile

    Thanks for your replies, some helpful info ? I’ve started creating an invite on Canva (which never came up in my searches when I was looking for something like this!) but will also check out paperlesspost. X

    We now have a wedding website after spending money out on postponed invites and RSVP. With everything so uncertain it seemed costly to pay for more invites Smiley smile

    My wedding is also booked for June 2022. My friends and family are in NZ and Europe so I’m not keen on paper. I’ve done my save the dates literally just through FB messenger and phonecalls. All the important people know. I think I will probably send some paper invites out later in the year as I think it is a nice touch but I definitely plan to utilise the website version. My friend has used something similar recently for all of her invites and I found it really user-friendly as a guest.

    As long as all your guest are online, I don't see it as an issue. You might need to produce a few paper invites for any who aren't though.

    I'm quite sad that paper invites & orders of service are fading out though - I save all mine to pop into my scrapbook alongside the photos from the wedding and love looking back at them all.
