Jali & Paisley
Editor’s pick
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.
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.
Alpana
Bengali rice-flour lines in red and white, travelling inward from a doorway.
About this design
Bengali rice-flour drawing — white floral lines that begin at a doorway and travel inward, here rendered as red-and-white because that is the Durga Puja and Poila Boishakh pairing rather than a colour scheme somebody liked. Alpana is Bengali specifically; it is not a synonym for rangoli and the family will not be relabelled as one.
Kolam
Dot-grid geometry from Tamil and Telugu doorsteps, drawn at dawn.
About this design
White dot-grid geometry on a warm ground, the way a Tamil or Telugu doorstep is drawn at dawn. Named kolam and not rangoli on purpose: alpana in Bengal and aripan in Bihar are cousins with their own names, and this family draws only the South Indian one.
With your photo
These leave room for a picture of your own, added when you make the invitation.
Portrait Arch
Add a photo
A photo in an arch, like a doorway or mandap, with a gold hairline.
About this design
A photograph in an arch — the doorway of a house, the mandap, the temple gate — with a hairline inside the accent border, the invitation set underneath in a quiet serif. Built for a family or a couple: the framing is one tap on the face, never a face model. Without a photo the arch carries marigold and jali, so the design reads as a threshold rather than as a missing picture.
Usually a hired hall, a temple and at home, for family, the wider community and friends. On the muhurta. 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.
