How to Send Your Invitation Digitally

Sometimes you don't want to deal with envelopes, stamps and the post box at all — you just want the invitation in everyone's hands today. Your guests are on their phones anyway, so sending digitally is fast, free, and gets replies rolling in straight away. You've got two easy ways to do it: a quick send by text or email, or Paperless Post when you want envelopes and built-in RSVP tracking.

Here's how to do both.

What you'll need

Your finished invitation, edited and downloaded from Corjl
Your phone or computer
A free Paperless Post account — only if you want the envelope-and-RSVP option

First: download the right file

Save your invitation as an image

For sending by text or email, download your design as a JPG or PNG — an image opens for everyone, on any phone, with nothing to install. (If yours is an animated video invitation, download the MP4 instead.) Full download guide here.

The quick way: text or email

Attach it and send

Attach the image to a text or email and send it — to the family group chat, or to guests individually. That's genuinely all there is to it. It's instant, it's free, and people can reply right there in the thread.

The dressed-up way: Paperless Post

If you'd like the feel of a real invitation — an envelope that opens, a liner, RSVP tracking in one place — Paperless Post is a lovely middle ground between a plain image and a printed card. Here's how it works with your template.

Download your design from Corjl first

Paperless Post works from your finished file, so download your design from Corjl before you start.

Open Paperless Post from Corjl and create an account

Use the Paperless Post link inside Corjl to head over, then create a free Paperless Post account if you don't have one.

Upload your design and dress it up

Upload your invitation, then customise the extras Paperless Post adds around it — the envelope, the liner, the background. This is what gives it that "opening a real invitation" moment on screen.

Send and track your RSVPs

Add your guest list, send, and let Paperless Post collect the replies for you — no more scrolling back through texts to tot up who's coming.

Send yourself a test first. Whichever way you go, send one to your own phone before the whole list. You'll see exactly what guests see — and catch anything that needs a tweak while it's still easy to fix.

Digital sending questions, answered

What file should I send by text or email?

A JPG or PNG image — it opens on any device with nothing to install. For an animated invitation, send the MP4 video instead.

What is Paperless Post, and why use it?

It's an online service for sending digital invitations that come in an envelope on screen and collect RSVPs for you. It's the nice in-between: more of an occasion than a plain image, without any printing or postage.

How does Paperless Post work with my template?

Download your design from Corjl, then use the Paperless Post link in Corjl to upload it there and add the envelope, liner and background. You're bringing your marryful design into Paperless Post, not rebuilding it.

Is Paperless Post free?

It has both free and paid options — some features use their "Coins," so check Paperless Post's current pricing for the bits you want. Sending a plain image by text or email is always free.

Can guests RSVP?

Yes — Paperless Post tracks RSVPs for you. If you're sending a plain image instead, just ask guests to reply to your message, or point them to an RSVP link.

I'd rather print after all — can I?

Of course. Your template is yours to print or send however you like. See our printing guide whenever you want a paper version.

Image by text for speed, Paperless Post for a bit of ceremony — either way, your invitation is out the door without a single stamp.
