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.
Indigo Block Print
One small block printed edge to edge in indigo, as in Rajasthan.
About this design
Block print: one small repeating unit, printed edge to edge, in a single indigo on undyed cloth. The calmest family here and the one that suits an event nobody wants to look festive — a study circle, a professional meetup, a farewell. Its restraint is a different restraint from kasavu's: kasavu removes ornament, indigo repeats one piece of it until it becomes texture.
Typographic
One great face, big, on a single colour with hairlines.
About this design
One great face, big, on a single colour, with hairline rules and no ornament by design. The quietest family here: a dinner, a mehndi card, a corporate evening whose hosts want the words and nothing else. It is family-sourced with `none` as its only motif so that no occasion can route an emblem onto it — a typographic invitation that grew a confetti field would no longer be one.
Usually at home, for family and friends. The first weeks. 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.
