📩 Save-the-Date vs. RSVP vs. Invite E-Cards: What's the Difference?

Sending digital cards through TTO? Here's how to choose the right one for what you need.

Written by Nina Dobrev

💌 Save-the-Date

  • A simple digital card with no action button

  • Purely informational — think "save the date for August 26th!"

  • Guests can't click or respond to anything

  • Best for early heads-up before your full invite goes out

✅ RSVP / Invite E-Cards

  • These come with a button guests can click to respond

  • Clicking takes guests straight to your RSVP form

  • What happens next depends on how your guest list is set up

  • 📌 Check out the guest list and RSVP articles if you want more detail on how that flow works

🖼️ Upload E-Card

  • Use this if you've designed your own card (e.g. in Canva)

  • Just upload the image and send it as-is

💡 Tip: RSVP e-cards have the response button switched on by default, but you can turn it off if you'd rather send it as an FYI-only card instead.
