A digital wedding invitation each guest opens with their name on it
A digital invitation usually means a designed image or a PDF sent by WhatsApp. It saves the printing and the stamps, but it arrives as one more file in a chat, the same for everyone, and the replies come back scattered across messages, calls and voice notes.
Boda keeps the ritual of the envelope and makes it personal. You send each guest a link with their name in it; it opens on a letter addressed to them, sealed with your initials in wax. They break the seal, the card comes out, and further down there’s one form for the answer — so every reply reaches you the same way, with the menu and the allergies already in it.
It’s one site, made once in your browser and paid once, that becomes as many invitations as you have guests.
What your site shows
Their name on the envelope
The link carries the name — yoursite.com/?for=Núria — and the envelope is written out to Núria. Send another link and it’s addressed to someone else; there’s nothing to generate or export for each guest.
Breaking the seal
The wax is pressed with your two initials. A tap cracks it, with a quiet sound made in the browser: the paper, the snap of the wax, the card sliding out. Nothing plays before that tap, and a guest who scrolls instead opens it in silence.
The card
It rises off the envelope with your names, the date written out, the time and the venue, and the last line you choose — “Reply by 1 May”. Under it, the days and hours left.
The one form
Name, yes or no, and if yes: how many, which menu, any allergy, the bus, a song. The answer is sent to your email in the same format every time, with the guest’s name in the subject.
Have this ready
- The list of guests, with names as you want them written on the envelope.
- Your names, the initials for the wax seal, the date, time and venue.
- What the card should say — the line above your names and the one at the bottom, like the reply date.
- The questions for the reply: which menus, whether there’s a bus, and the deadline.
- The email the replies go to, and a free Web3Forms key so they arrive there directly.
- A few photos, the day’s timetable and how to get there, if you want the rest of the site below the card.
Worth knowing
Test the link with your own name first
Send yourselves a link with ?for= and your names before anyone else gets theirs. Check accents and the + between words, open it on a phone, and send a test reply to make sure it reaches your inbox.
Send links one by one
A link with a name forwarded to a group shows that one name to everyone. For groups, use the address with no name — the envelope says “For you” — and keep the named ones for individual messages.
Pair it with a line of text
A bare link in a chat looks like spam to an aunt. Write a sentence above it in your own words — “We’re getting married, this is for you” — and the link underneath.
Questions
- Is it an image or a PDF we can print?
- No, it’s a website: the envelope, the seal and the card are drawn live in the browser. That’s what lets it carry each guest’s name and collect replies. For paper, you’d print the site’s address or a QR code on a card.
- Does it work on older phones?
- On a phone that can’t draw the 3D envelope, the page opens directly on the card and all the sections, so the information and the reply form are always there.
- Can guests confirm for their partner and children?
- Yes: the reply asks how many are coming, and there’s room for allergies and a message. One link per household keeps it to one reply per family.
- Is there a monthly fee or a limit on guests?
- Neither. You pay €500 once for the kit, host the site for free on Cloudflare, and send as many links as you have guests: the name is part of the address, not an account.
