How do I create my first invitation?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Choose Create invitation in your dashboard, pick a design, and fill in the details the design shows. The phone preview updates as you type. Create it as a draft, add guests, then Publish when it looks right.
Most hosts make their first invitation without ever opening an editor. The form asks only for what the chosen design prints, and the preview beside it shows the invitation exactly as guests will see it.
Create the invitation
- 1Open your dashboard and choose Create invitation. The catalogue opens.
- 2Pick an occasion and tap a design to preview it. Choose Use this design.
- 3Choose AI Build to describe your event in a sentence and let AI write the rest, or Build from scratch to fill in every detail yourself. Either way you can change every word later.
- 4Fill in The essentials: the title, the date and time, the venue and address, and the names and message the design prints. Choose Next.
- 5Work through the remaining steps: Functions (if the design has a schedule), More details, Photos and Review & create. Skip anything you do not need.
- 6Choose Create invitation. Your invitation is saved as a draft and its Overview opens.
Missing details are marked before the invitation is created, so no sample text goes out by mistake. The bar at the top says how many required details are left.
Check it, add guests, publish
A pop-up on the Overview lists the three steps to go:
- 1Preview. Scroll the phone on the Overview, replay the envelope, and check names, dates and the schedule. The Preview button shows it full screen.
- 2Add guests. Build the list now or later. Nobody is contacted while the invitation is a draft.
- 3Publish. Everyone on your list with an e-mail address gets their invitation the moment you publish. Share the link on WhatsApp too.
See What to check before publishing.
Good to know
- A free design costs nothing to publish. A premium design is paid once, for that invitation, at publish, unless your plan includes it.
- Drafts are unlimited. Plan limits apply when you publish, not when you create.
- Any word, photo or page can be changed later under Update details. The Invitation studio is there if you want to move things around, but it is never required.
