How to send a mobile wedding invitation in the US
When to send it
In the US, a save-the-date usually goes out six to twelve months before the wedding and the invitation itself six to eight weeks before. Guests flying in, especially family from Korea, appreciate hearing earlier. A link arrives instantly, so set your RSVP deadline two to three weeks before your venue needs the final headcount.
Writing it in English and Korean
Older Korean guests expect a formal greeting and the parents' names; American friends and coworkers expect something short and clear. Write each language on its own terms rather than translating line by line, and let every guest read the one they're comfortable with. Writing names both ways, like Daniel Kim · 김다니엘, helps both sides of the family recognise everyone.
What to include
The date and time, the venue name and address, and an RSVP deadline are the essentials. If the reception is somewhere else, or there's a dress code or a parking plan, say so in your message. If you're accepting cash gifts, add your Venmo or Zelle details so nobody has to ask.
How to share it
Send your link by text or iMessage, KakaoTalk, email or an Instagram DM. The moment it's pasted, it unfolds into a card with your names and date. If you're also printing invitations, a QR code on the paper card can lead guests to the mobile version for directions and RSVPs.
