How to make an invitation card
- Choose the occasion — wedding, engagement, birthday, Griha Pravesh, Godh Bharai, Naamkaran, anniversary, pooja or a party. Sample wording fills in to get you started.
- Pick a design: royal maroon and gold, marigold toran, blush floral, peacock, navy art deco, confetti or modern minimal.
- Edit the text — names, date, time, venue and RSVP. The preview updates as you type.
- Add a photo if you like — of the couple, the birthday child or your new home.
- Download or share. Save a PNG for WhatsApp, a PDF for printing, or tap Share on your phone to send it straight to WhatsApp.

Wording tips for Indian invitations
- Begin with a blessing for religious occasions — ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ is traditional for weddings and Griha Pravesh.
- Name the hosts. Wedding invitations are traditionally sent by the parents: “Mr. & Mrs. Sharma request the pleasure of your company at the wedding of their son…”
- Give the muhurat or start time and mention if a meal follows — “followed by lunch” helps guests plan.
- Keep the venue specific — hall name, road and area, so guests can find it on maps.
- Add an RSVP contact with a phone number to help you plan catering.
Digital invitations are the norm now
Most families now send invitations on WhatsApp first and print a small number of cards for elders and formal invitations. A digital card costs nothing to send and arrives instantly. Pair it with a QR code linking to the venue on Google Maps — print it on the card or send it with the invitation.
Everything happens in your browser: your text and photos are never uploaded, and there's no watermark.
Frequently asked questions
Does the invitation card maker cost anything?
Yes. It works instantly, with no watermark and no limit on how many cards you make or download.
Can I write my invitation in Hindi or Marathi?
Yes. Type in any Devanagari script — Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit and others — in any field. Wedding and Griha Pravesh templates start with a traditional line such as ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥, which you can edit or remove.
Which size should I choose for WhatsApp?
Square works well in WhatsApp chats and on Instagram. Choose Story for WhatsApp status and Instagram stories, and Card 5×7 for printing.
Can I print the invitation?
Yes. Choose the Card 5×7 size and download the PDF. It's 1500 × 2100 pixels — 300 dpi at 5×7 inches — so it prints sharply at any print shop.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The card is drawn in your browser, and your photo never leaves your device.
