Your website already has a look. The colors, the fonts, the feel of it, all set. Joy takes that same design and puts it everywhere your guests will hold it or open it: save the dates, invitations, thank you cards, menus, napkins, signs, enclosure cards, and holiday cards. Send the digital version in seconds, order it printed and mailed to your door, or work with a designer on something fully custom. Either way, every piece matches, because it starts from the design you already made.
Digital Cards
Digital Cards are Joy's electronic option, delivered straight to your guests' inbox or shared as a link over text, WhatsApp, Messenger, or social media. There is no shipping wait and no minimum order, which makes this the fastest way to get a save the date or invitation into someone's hands the same day you finish designing it.
Basic Digital Cards are free and simple to customize. Premium Digital Cards add exclusive designs, deeper customization, and an paid add on text message send for US and Canadian numbers.
For the full walkthrough, see Editing and Sending Basic Digital Cards and Designing and Sending Premium Digital Cards.
Printed Cards
If you want something a guest can hold, Joy Print turns your website design into physical stationery, ordered in one place and delivered to your door. The same design system covers save the dates, invitations, thank you cards, menus, napkins, signs, and enclosure cards, so a single visual choice carries all the way from the mailbox to the table.
Every printed piece is built on Signature Card Stock with your choice of paper type and silhouette, and every card supports a QR code guests can scan straight to your RSVP or website. Envelopes can be printed with recipient and return addresses at no extra cost, which turns a stack of blank envelopes into something ready to mail.
For the full ordering walkthrough, see Joy Print.
Getting the Details Right
A few choices shape how your printed cards turn out, and each has its own guide. How to Choose the Right Paper Type walks through Signature, Semi Gloss, Pearlescent, and Double Thick. The Ultimate Guide to Ordering the Right Number of Cards helps you land on a quantity without guessing. Envelope Recipient Addressing covers printing names and addresses directly on envelopes.
If you're uploading your own artwork instead of a Joy design, see Upload Your Own Design and What's Print Bleed (and Why Does it Matter)? so nothing gets trimmed that shouldn't be. For adding scannable links beyond the default RSVP, see How to Add QR Codes and Links to Cards.
Premium Invitation Suites
For a fully custom result, Premium Invitation Suites (available for US events) pair you with a Joy design concierge who builds your invitation from the ground up around your colors, fonts, and style, refining it together until it's exactly right. This is the option for hosts who want something that looks and feels like nothing else in their guests' mailbox.
Note: Premium Invitation Suites are printed in Australia and ship via DHL Express. Any customs or tariff fees charged on delivery are fully refunded by Joy, so there are no surprise costs.
