    Kasavu

    Cream and one gold border: the Kerala sari's whole idea.

    About this design

    Cream and one gold border, nothing else — the Kerala sari, whose whole aesthetic is that restraint. Adding ornament to it would be the mistake; the family refuses motifs beyond the border and the pookalam.

With your photo

These leave room for a picture of your own, added when you make the invitation.

    Photo

    Add a photo

    Your photograph on its own plate; the words beside it, never over it.

    About this design

    One photograph full-bleed on the split plate, the invitation set beside or beneath it in a quiet serif. The plate holds the picture and nothing else — no words ever sit on it — so the photo is framed by the palette rather than written over. It is the host's own photo, copied once with its location and camera details removed; guests' photos are never stored.

Usually at home, a clubhouse and a restaurant, for family, friends and the children. At twelve months. 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.
