Gulal
Thrown Holi colour: powder clouds over a bright ground, the words cut through.
About this design
Thrown colour: clouds of pigment hanging over a saturated midday ground, a burst of powder set large between the headline and the facts, and the words cut clean through the middle of it. Built for Holi and nothing else — gulal is powder thrown at people, which is one morning of the year and not a decorative style. The restraint is in the type and the stillness: one heavy sans, one pop on entry, and then a page that holds still while the colour does the work.
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.
Playful
Balloons, paper and a diagonal; the age as a sticker.
About this design
Confetti, balloons and a very heavy display face set tight. The children's family, and the only one whose type is allowed to be this loud. It carries five palettes rather than three because a child's birthday is the one occasion where the host has a colour in mind before they have anything else.
Usually a park, a school and a clubhouse, for the wider community, family, the children and friends. March. 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.
