How to choose a digital invitation platform
There are many valid options. This guide gives you the criteria to decide, even if you end up not choosing Magno.
In shortTo choose a digital invitation platform, compare four things: what it covers before, during and after the event, how it handles RSVPs and data, what it really costs per guest and event, and what happens to your information when it ends. There are four types: messages, self-service platforms, custom design studios and full-experience platforms like Magno.
Four types of option
| Type | Best for | Strength | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Messages and images | Small gatherings | Free and fast | No organized replies or data |
| Self-service platforms | Mid-size events on a tight budget | Low price, RSVP | Often end after sending; little for the day itself |
| Custom design studios | Anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind design | Personalized aesthetics | Pricier; day-of operations usually left out |
| Full-experience platforms | Weddings and big events | Before, during and after cycle | More features to learn; higher price |
Questions worth asking any provider
These questions work for Magno or anyone else:
- Do my guests have to create an account or install anything?
- Can I export my complete data whenever I want?
- How long does the event stay active and what happens afterward?
- How are minors' data and allergies handled?
- What is the total price with taxes and extras?
- Is there support in my language and time zone?
Red flags
Be wary of prices that exclude taxes, feature promises without dates, locked exports and plans that force a monthly fee after your event.
