How do I open a Nimanto invitation?

A Nimanto invitation is a web page made to open like a real card. Here is what to expect the first time.

Open it

1. 1Tap the link your host sent. In an e-mail, it is the Open invitation & RSVP button or the card picture above it; in WhatsApp or a text it is the link under "Open your invitation".
2. 2The invitation fills your screen as a closed envelope, curtain, box or scene. Tap anywhere on it to open.
3. 3Scroll down through the pages: the cover, the schedule, the venue with directions, where to stay, gifts, the photo album and the reply form.

There is nothing to install and no sign-in. On a phone with the Nimanto app installed, the link opens inside the app instead; it is the same invitation, with Close and Share.

What you may see on the way

• A chevron cue at the foot of the first screen shows there is more below. Tap it to scroll on.
• Music starts when you open the envelope, if the host chose a track. A round note button at the bottom-right turns it off and on. See music and effects.
• Falling petals, hearts or sparkles may drift over the page. They never block a tap.
• Directions and ride buttons under the venue open your maps or ride app with the address filled in.

Your personal link

If the link came to you by e-mail from the host, it is yours alone: the invitation greets you by name and remembers your reply. A link from a group chat is the shared link, the same for everyone. See personal link vs shared link.

Reduced motion

If your phone has Reduce Motion switched on, the envelope opens quickly and the effects and idle movement are stilled. You still tap once to open it.

If it does not open

A page reading "This invitation isn't available" means it is not published yet, or the link was cut when it was copied. See invitation not opening.
