Pudwedding

Pudwedding is a Vietnamese website for making digital wedding invitations. Instead of printing cards and delivering them by hand, couples build an invitation online in a few minutes and send the link to guests over Zalo, Messenger or SMS.

You pick a template, add your names, the ceremony and reception times, photos, a map to the venue and some background music. Guests confirm attendance online, so you get a running count of who's coming instead of chasing replies a week before the day.

A thoughtful local touch is the VietQR code. Guests who can't make it, or prefer not to bring cash, can scan it to send a gift by bank transfer.

Options and prices:

• Free trial: 3 days at 0đ
• Premium: keeps the invitation online permanently
• Full-service design: 219,000đ, with a designer making the invitation for you

It isn't only for weddings. People use it for a baby's first-birthday party (thôi nôi), birthdays and other family events.

The real advantage over printed cards is that you can edit it. If the restaurant changes or the time moves, you update the invitation once and everyone sees the new details.

One suggestion: older relatives may still expect a printed card, so many couples send the digital version to friends and colleagues and keep a small batch of printed cards for family elders.

You don't need any design skills. Templates are ready to go, and the editor works on a phone, which is how most couples in Vietnam end up making theirs, usually in a spare half hour.

Ready-made templates cover different styles, from traditional red-and-gold to minimal modern designs, so it's easy to match the look of the wedding.
