How are you sending your invites during Covid?

Such a good idea! My partner and I were always going to go digital as well to stay in budget for our small celebration. Plus it's easier to just send non-tech-savvy relatives a direct link to the wedding website so they can RSVP.
Budget aside, we thought it was smart to stay digital in case things with COVID get worse and we have to do a Change the Date - so much easier to communicate through a nice graphic and email rather than having to send out mail to everyone every single time something changes. Your idea of doing the invite up for a fancy shoot and then sending that out is fantastic

As an artist, the digital invites look gorgeous! Its not for every couple to go digital as some cousins did for their wedding invitations that way to save money and check the information out fully. The flowers do give your wedding layout a nice arrangement of what could be the vision for the day.

I personally did go paper wise so that I did save on Vistaprint for all the invitations and stationary to order to make them as we do in Indian Culture.

So we already ordered our invites in Feb of 2019 LOL.. Got them, but our invite lady is working with us and going to make new ones...we'll just be paying for the cost of materials.

Blah, I should've explained better that the advice was more for others looking for ways to save on printing invitations (especially those who had to make a second round due to covid postponements). But what you're doing is also definitely really cool.

Oh no, I understood. What I mean is, if you didn't plan to have frills on your invitations (like extra glued layers of parchment paper, or special beads and flashy glitter frames, embroidery, etc) and you're able to fully design the invitation in Photoshop or something, going to a printer and printing them as a postcard would save you a ton more than to use Vistaprint or some other specialty wedding invite printer.

Personally, we were never going to send out paper invites even pre-covid. It wasn't even a cost factor, we just didn't want to burden our guests with paper. With digital invites, we already have their contact info so no need to wait for them to RSVP, we can send our regular reminders, and keep everyone informed all one go. And if we get sick of our creative, we can easily redo it at no cost.

Oh, a suggestion if your invitations don't have any special layering or textures would be to print postcards. A typical 4x6 postcard has a standard envelope you can buy at any stationary store. Most local printers can bulk print double sided postcards in the hundreds for cheaper than a standard set of wedding invitations. You can even choose between glossy or matte.
