Jali & Paisley
Mughal and Rajasthani lattice with a wide-tracked serif; geometry, never a figure.
About this design
Buta and jali — the Mughal and Rajasthani lattice, set in a serif with wide tracking. The research's caution is written into the drawing rather than left as a note: jali carries both Hindu/Jain and Islamic associations, so the family draws the geometry and never a figure, which is what lets one design serve a nikah and a shashtipoorthi without either borrowing the other's iconography.
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.
Cinematic
Editor’s pick
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.
Save the Date
The day as the headline, month and weekday beside it, then the names.
About this design
The date first, set as the headline: the day of the month in a large display serif, the month and weekday beside it in small capitals, the year beneath, then one hairline and the names. Nothing else on the page — no ornament, no border — because a save-the-date has one job, which is to put a day in somebody's calendar months ahead, and every mark that is not the date competes with it.
Usually a hired hall, a clubhouse and at home, for family and friends. The night or nights before the wedding. 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.
