Selling a digital invitation is more than sending a graphic. Your client needs a usable event page, working directions, a clear RSVP request and a plan for updates. Agree on your design service before you start; publishing and your creative work are different costs.
1. Get a usable brief
Ask for the event type, protagonists, date, time, ceremony and reception addresses, preferred colors, photos, language and RSVP deadline. Confirm that the client has permission to use the supplied photos and music. Do not collect payment-card details yourself.
2. Build and check the draft
Create the invitation and check it on a phone. Make the date, time, venue and RSVP easy to find before adding decorative details. A bilingual invitation should use matching dates and addresses in both versions. Keep revisions in the saved draft rather than starting a new account for every change.
3. Get approval before publishing
Ask the client to approve the event date, names and event type explicitly. InvitationWeb links those details to one paid publication, so the link cannot be recycled for a different event. Contact support for a legitimate correction to the same event.
4. Separate your fee from publication
In InvitationWeb, designing and previewing are free. Each published event costs $5 USD and stays available for 6 months. You decide what to charge for your own design service and explain what it includes. There is no bundle of unlimited paid publications or guaranteed profit.
5. Agree on who manages the invitation
Decide whether the invitation is created in the host’s account or the designer’s account before publication. RSVP responses stay with that account. Do not promise an automatic account transfer or white-label service. Agree on who will update venue or time details and respond to guest-list questions.
6. Hand over something the client can actually use
- The final published link and a suggested message for guests.
- The exact publication expiry shown in the dashboard.
- Instructions for checking RSVPs in the account that owns the invitation.
- The limits on changes to event identity.
- Your agreed revision and support policy.
