French and English wedding invitations on one link
Written by the Wedvite founders
A French and English Wedvite invitation is one link with a language switch: each guest taps FR or EN, reads the full invitation and answers the RSVP form in that language. Replies from both sides arrive in one guest list. The invitation costs $49 once for unlimited guests, and the second language adds $10.
Wedvite's list price is $89. This code brings it to $49, applied automatically at checkout:

What a Franco-Anglo guest list gets
FR and EN on the same invitation
A switch on the invitation lets a cousin in Lyon read French while a colleague in Toronto reads English, from the very same link.

The questions, buttons and confirmation are in French for French readers. The dietary option labels fall back to English, while the rest of the form is translated; meal names show as you type them.

Whether a guest answered from the French or the English edition, the reply is in the same list, with names and party size for every household.

Change the vin d'honneur time or the hotel note and the update appears on the link already in everyone's messages.
Shared map, music and times
The venue pin, your song and the schedule times are entered once and appear identically whichever language a guest reads.

How does a French and English invitation work?
You pick a design, choose French as the invitation language in the editor and add English as the second (or the other way round). The editor itself is in English, while the invitation renders in French: headings, countdown and RSVP questions come already translated, and anything you write yourself, from the welcome text to the dress code, has its own French and English version that you edit separately.
On the guest's phone the invitation opens in the language you set first, with a small FR / EN switch to change it. That suits Quebec and Ontario families, where one aunt reads French and her children read English, and it suits a Paris wedding with British guests. Everyone keeps one link; nobody receives the edition meant for the other side.
What does the second language cost?
The invitation is $89 once. That includes the first language, unlimited guests, the RSVP form and the envelope opening. French plus English adds one extra language at $10, so the total is $89 and $10, with no fee per guest or per reply. Invite a small family party or both extended families; the price stays where it is. The envelope and the venue map come with every invitation, in both editions.
Building is free, and before you pay you can share the invitation with your first 10 guests: send it to one French reader and one English reader and let them tell you whether each edition sounds right. A faire-part translated word for word produces English nobody would write, and the reverse is just as true. The editor shows the language add-on in your own currency, and the invitation is hosted through your wedding date and at least 90 days after.
How does French wedding wording differ from English?
The French tradition is the faire-part: the parents, sometimes the grandparents too, announce the marriage and then invite the guest, always with vous. 'Ont le plaisir de vous faire part du mariage de leurs enfants' is the classic opening, followed by a separate line inviting you to the ceremony, the vin d'honneur or the dinner. English invitations usually make one request and often come from the couple directly.
R.S.V.P. is itself French, répondez s'il vous plaît, yet English invitations use it more than French ones, which tend to write 'Merci de confirmer votre présence avant le…'. Let each edition follow its own convention instead of mirroring the other: the French can list both families and the wine reception, and the English can stay short. The date and the venue are entered once, so they cannot drift apart.
- ✦French, formal: « Monsieur et Madame Jean Dubois ont le plaisir de vous faire part du mariage de leur fille Claire avec Thomas Wright »
- ✦English, formal: “Mr and Mrs Jean Dubois request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Claire to Thomas Wright”
- ✦French, from the couple: « Claire et Thomas ont la joie de vous inviter à leur mariage »
- ✦English, from the couple: “Claire and Thomas would love you to join them for their wedding”
What should French and English couples check before sending?
Schedule rows and extra locations keep one text for both Latin-script editions, so a row titled 'Vin d'honneur' shows that title to English readers as well. Write those rows in both languages, 'Cérémonie civile · Civil ceremony', or keep them to the time and the place. Everything else you type has a separate French and English version. Times, map links and the couple's names need no translation at all.
French is not one of the editor's interface languages, so you work in an English editor while writing French text; the guests never see that. Check the RSVP form in French once before sharing, so you know the dietary choices appear in English labels there, and add a line to your welcome text if your French-speaking guests would want that explained.
