Bandhani
Tie-dye dots and mirror discs from Gujarat and Rajasthan, made to carry far.
About this design
Tie-dye dot fields and mirror-work discs, Gujarati and Rajasthani, at the loudest end of this file. It is the one family designed to be seen from across a school gymnasium, which is where the research found garba actually happens in the United States. Motion is festive here and on only two other families.
With your photo
These leave room for a picture of your own, added when you make the invitation.

About this design
Your own picture edge to edge, with the invitation set beneath it on a solid band in a quiet condensed face. Made for a host who already has a card they love: the look is theirs and the words are ours, so the date can still be corrected at the same address after the picture has been forwarded. The band is the palette's own paper at full strength, never a veil over the picture, so nothing a guest reads is ever read through somebody's photograph.
Usually at home, a clubhouse and a hired hall, for family, friends, the wider community and the children. Mid-October to mid-November. 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.
