Both Homes
Navy and marigold, with the tricolour and the stars as accents, never flags.
About this design
Navy and marigold, with the tricolour and the stars and stripes used as accents rather than as flags — the design language of a household that is both, which is most of this audience. It is what a citizenship party, a Friendsgiving and a Diwaloween invitation get, and it is deliberately not a flag mashup: the two palettes meet in the type and the rule, and neither one wins.
Editorial
A serif at size, one hairline above the date, generous margins.
About this design
Type and rules and nothing else: a serif at a large size, a hairline above the date, generous margins. It is the formal end of the range — a fiftieth anniversary, a convention, a wedding whose hosts want no ornament at all — and it is the family that ages best, because there is nothing in it to date.
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.
Usually a hired hall, a school and a clubhouse, for the wider community, family and the children. 26 January or the nearest weekend. 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.
