Near-black, one light, condensed capitals and a great deal of nothing.
About this design
Near-black with one light, a condensed display face set in capitals, and a great deal of nothing. The premium end of the range for a sangeet, a reception or an anniversary — a stage rather than a pattern, which is why it takes the occasion's own emblem and draws nothing of its own. The title pushes in slowly and everything else simply arrives; there is no ornament to animate.
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 a restaurant, at home and a hired hall, for colleagues, family and friends. The end of a career. 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.

Wording that works
Thirty-two years — a send-off for Prakash
Six o'clock, dinner at seven. Speeches are optional and will happen anyway.
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.
