Lena & Jonas · Berlin
A Kreuzberg courtyard, family on two continents, and a guest list that wouldn't sit still.
An illustrative story — representative of how couples plan with bridecard, not a specific customer.
The eight months before
The courtyard was the easy part — a brick Hinterhof in Kreuzberg, string lights already half-imagined. The guest list was what kept them up. Jonas's side mostly wrote back in German, Lena's family in English, and between them sat three group chats, a spreadsheet nobody fully trusted, and an uncle who, eight months out, had answered precisely nothing. Every 'so, are they coming?' meant scrolling back through WhatsApp to find out.
"We sent one link, and the noise just stopped."
One link instead of ten threads
So they made one page and sent one link. People opened it on the U-Bahn, saw the courtyard and the date, and tapped yes or no — in German or English, whichever read like home. Plus-ones, dietary notes, the 'can we bring the baby' — all of it landed on the same screen, so the caterer finally had a real number instead of a hunch. The evening's running order went on the page too, which is the only reason nobody texted 'what time again?' at half nine the night before.
The morning of
By that morning the list had counted itself, the playlist had been voted on, and the only thing left on a spreadsheet was the seating — which took an afternoon and a bottle of wine, not a month. Guests dropped photos into the shared album as the night went on, so the two of them woke up to a couple hundred pictures of a party they'd been far too busy dancing at to photograph. A few came out blurry. Those were the ones they kept.
