Modern
A clean sans, a two-column split, one accent rule, no ornament.
About this design
A clean sans, a two-column split, one accent rule and no ornament. Built for the invitations where a cultural motif would be wrong rather than merely unnecessary — a networking mixer, a product launch, a team lunch — and for the American holidays this community celebrates without wanting them decorated as Indian.
Warli
From the Warli people of Maharashtra: white figures on clay, gathering and dancing.
About this design
Circles, triangles and stick figures in white on clay — the painting tradition of the Warli people of Maharashtra. It is indigenous art with a Geographical Indication, so it is named here and everywhere it renders, never described as folk art or as an Indian pattern; a family that borrows a protected tradition and declines to say whose it is has taken something. The figures are the tradition's own vocabulary of people farming, dancing and gathering, which is why it suits a community potluck better than a wedding.
Usually at home, a park and a clubhouse, for friends, family and the wider community. Summer. Free invitation designs with RSVP and calendar, and no account for your guests.
Each one is a different visual tradition rather than a recolour of the same card. Tap a colour underneath to change the palette; every design carries your own wording, date and place.

Questions people ask
- Do my guests need an account?
- No, and they never will. A guest opens the link, types their name and taps Going, Maybe or Can't go. No password, no phone number, no app. If a page ever asks your guests for a password, it is not us.
- Can I text my guests?
- Only the ones who asked to be texted. A guest gives a number on their own — on our page, never yours — and confirms it with a six-digit code before we will send anything. You never see the number. Texts are limited to three per event so an invitation cannot become a mailing list, and cancelling or moving an event is never counted against that.
- Does it work in WhatsApp?
- That is what it is built for. Pasting the link shows a picture of the invitation with the date and who is hosting, before anybody taps — and the page opens in whatever browser your guest has, on any phone, including the ones that are not iPhones.
- Can guests add it to Google Calendar?
- Google, Apple, Outlook and anything else that reads a calendar file. There is a button on the invitation itself, and it works before anybody answers. If you change the time or the place afterwards, their existing entry updates — it does not add a second one — and cancelling removes it.
