Can I write the invitation in my own language?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Yes. Every line you type is printed as you wrote it, in any language or script, so write the invitation the way your guests should read it. The design's suggested wording and AI Build write in English; a Design Genie brief can ask for its wording in another language.

Your invitation should sound like you. Nimanto prints your words exactly as you type them, and offers help with the wording only when you ask for it.

Your own words, as written

Every text line you fill in, from the title to a note for parents, is printed as you wrote it. That holds for any language and any script. Titles and honorifics are welcome: on an Indian wedding design the form itself says "Write the names as they should read on the card. Titles like Chi. or Sow. are welcome."

Parents' lines follow the design's own manner. Type "Robert & Linda Carter" and the design prints "Son of Robert & Linda Carter", or "S/o" where that is its style; type "Son of" yourself and it is not added twice.

Three ways to get the words

  • Write them yourself. Choose Build from scratch and fill in each line. While the invitation message is empty, Use the suggested wording fills in the design's own words, which you can then change.
  • Let AI write them. Choose AI Build, say who, when and where in one sentence, typed or spoken, and AI writes the title, the message and the small lines in the design's own manner, from your details only. It never invents a name, a date or a place. See the ways to create an invitation.
  • Ask Design Genie. When you brief Design Genie for a design of your own, the brief has a Language of the wording choice, with English first and a list of Indian and other languages. Every word can still be changed later. See How do I write a brief?.

Change a line later

  1. Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Update details.
  2. Find the line on the Essentials or Details step and retype it.
  3. Choose Save, and Publish changes on a published invitation.

A long name or address never prints over anything else: the lines under it move down to make room. See long names and addresses.
