Ok feel old. 20.5 years ago I sent out a link to a party celebrating our engagement. I spent more time explaining how to get to the website, than people finding website helpful. Still married - so get off my lawn :)
Unless it's the first hit on Google, or all over people's preferred social media... They're as clueless as ever.
I still find the idea of a digital wedding invitation pretty strange, because here in Hungary the bride and the fiancé invite everybody in person together. Maybe distant relatives are invited by mail or something. Is digital invitation a common thing nowadays? Or was it more common even years ago in other countries?
It’s sad to me that we felt so pressured to do the paper invites. They’re ridiculously overpriced and all of that paper and emissions for delivery for something that can easily be delivered electronically and instantly for near zero cost.
The entire wedding industry thrives on norms like these and it’s amazing to me that technology doesn’t displace more aspects.
I’ve got a different format - timeline style: https://www.09092018.com Let me know if anyone wants me to open source this :)

As others have said, in the US the formal paper invite is considered official. When my wife and I married we still did this but we encouraged people to RSVP via the website or email. No sense in sending more paper. It’s sad to me that we felt so pressured to do the paper invites.

Also, people love to hang things like invitations on their fridge as a constant reminder of an event that's somewhat far into the future. Rarely is that something printed off of a website, but a card received in the mail will pretty much get placed there straight away (or maybe after sitting on the counter for a period of time).
