How Much Does a Digital Wedding Invitation Cost in India?

29 June 20265 min read

Printed kankotri pricing is straightforward but punishing at scale: every extra copy costs more, and a reprint after a venue change means paying again. Digital invitation pricing works differently, and it's worth understanding before you commit to either.

What typically affects the price

  • Design complexity — a simple single-page layout costs less than a multi-scene animated invitation
  • Photo and video support — templates that accept custom photo uploads or video montages sit at a higher tier
  • Number of events supported in the timeline — Mehndi, Sangeet, Haldi, Wedding, Reception each need their own section
  • RSVP tracking and guest-view analytics, if included
  • Custom background music licensing, if a licensed track is used rather than a royalty-free one

How digital pricing compares to print

On ShubhLink, invitation starts from ₹999 per invitation, inclusive of GST — a one-time cost that covers unlimited shares, unlike print where cost scales directly with guest count. A 500-guest wedding sending a physical kankotri to every family pays for 500 printed cards; the same wedding sharing a digital link pays the same ₹999 whether ten guests open it or ten thousand.

What's usually included at the entry tier

Most entry-level digital invitations include the template design, unlimited editing before and after sharing, a private shareable link, and mobile-optimised viewing. Premium and Royal tiers typically add custom photo uploads, background music, and guest RSVP tracking.

Payment and refunds

Reputable platforms process payment through a PCI-DSS compliant gateway like Razorpay and never store card details directly. Check the cancellation and refund policy before purchasing, particularly around how far into editing you can go before a refund is no longer available.

The real saving isn't just the rupee cost — it's not having to reprint when a date or venue changes.
