How to share a wedding invitation on WhatsApp

A link to a mobile page beats a forwarded image or PDF for most weddings. Images get compressed every time they are forwarded, PDFs are awkward to read on a phone, and neither gives guests a one-tap route to the venue. A link keeps everything in one place and stays sharp.

1. Make your invitation page and copy its link.
2. Send it first to one trusted person and open it on their phone to check the preview and the page.
3. Paste the link into your family and friends groups, one group at a time.
4. Add a short personal line above the link, such as who it is from and the date.
5. Send it again as a reminder a week before the wedding.

Use a broadcast list when you want each guest to receive a personal message, since replies come to you privately. Use groups for family where everyone expects to chat. Avoid adding very large groups for the first message; people mute them and miss the details.

• Sending only an image with no link, so guests cannot tap for the map.
• Forgetting to say the city or venue in the message text.
• Sending the link without checking how it previews on a phone first.
• Assuming everyone saw the group message; send a gentle reminder.
