Send your save the date on WhatsApp, by text or by email
Your save the date is a link. Paste it into the family group chat, a text or an email, and each guest taps it to open the card on their phone. Nobody needs an app or an account.

What guests see in the chat
Paste the link into WhatsApp, iMessage or most other apps and the message shows a picture of your card, with your names and the date on it, so nobody mistakes it for a link from a stranger. If you change the card, the picture changes too, though a chat app can take a day or so to notice.
Where to send it
WhatsApp and group chats
Drop the link into the family group or send it to each guest. The message shows your card, and a tap opens it.
Text message
Send it by iMessage or SMS like any other link. On most phones the message shows your card; a plain text shows the address, which has your names in it.
Email
Put the link in an email with a line of your own. Send it from your own address rather than a mailing tool, so it doesn't end up in spam.
Instagram, Messenger and the rest
Any app that can send a link will do. Guests abroad get it the moment you send it, the same as everyone else.
Straight into their calendar
Once the card has opened, there are buttons to add the date to Apple, Google or Outlook calendar. Guests can do it before they've put their phone down, so nobody has to ask you for the date again.
For guests who'd rather have paper
From your edit page you can print four cards to a sheet, to trim and post in C6 envelopes, or ten small cards with a QR code that opens your page. Printing costs nothing extra.

Questions
Can we send it to guests abroad?
Yes. It's a web page, so it opens in any country, on any phone or computer, the moment you send it.
Can we change it after sending the link?
Yes. Edit the page and save. Guests see the new version on the link they already have, so there's nothing to send again.
Will it look like spam?
The address has your names in it, and most chat apps show a picture of your card beside it. Sending it yourself, from your own phone or email, helps too.
Do guests need to download anything?
No. It opens in the browser they already have, with no app and no account.
