What is a Card invitation?

Nimanto makes two kinds of invitation. The Signature invitation is the full scrolling story; the Card invitation is the quick, classic card. See Signature vs Card invitations.

What a card is

• One painted card in an envelope, with your title, the line above it and who is hosting printed on calm paper the painting leaves for the words.
• The painting is the design's own and never changes; your words fit themselves to it.
• Under the card, everything a guest can do, all at once: reply, see where it is with directions, add it to their calendar, read your note, open your gift lists, and add photos to the shared album.
• Made in the card studio on one screen, or in the Nimanto app.
• Sent, shared, replied to and managed in the same dashboard as any invitation: the same guest list, replies, reminders and photo album.

When a card is the right choice

• A dinner, a brunch, a game night, a potluck or a holiday party, where the essentials are the whole story.
• An occasion with no schedule of functions and no hotel list to share.
• When you want it out in minutes.

Some occasions offer cards only, such as a quinceañera, a book club or a celebration of life; their catalogue pages open on cards.

What it costs

Every occasion has free cards. A premium card is paid once, when you send it, unless your plan includes cards; it costs less than a Signature design. See Card prices.
