Signature or Card invitation: which should I choose?
By Nimanto 1 min read
In short
Choose a Signature invitation for a full scrolling invitation with an envelope intro, pages, a schedule, photos and the reply form. Choose a Card invitation for one painted card in an envelope with the details and reply form under it.
Nimanto makes two kinds of invitation. Both are sent, shared, replied to and managed in the same dashboard. They differ in what guests see and in how much you can change.
Signature invitation
The scrolling invitation. Guests tap an envelope to open it, then scroll through the design's pages: the cover, your families or story, the schedule of functions, where to stay, gifts, the photo album and the reply form.
- Made in the create form, step by step, with a live phone preview beside you.
- You change the words, the photos and which pages show. In the Invitation studio you can also move and restyle what is on each page, though that is never required.
- It can carry a planner for the day, where the planner is offered.
- Priced as a Signature invitation: free, or premium at a Still price, or a Live price when its cover plays a film.
Card invitation
One painted card, the size of a classic 5 by 7 card, that slides out of an envelope. Your details, gifts, where to stay, the album and the reply form sit under it.
- Made in the card studio, on one screen.
- You change the words only. The painting is the design's own and never changes.
- No planner and no schedule page.
- Priced lower than a Signature invitation, as a Still or a Live card.

How to choose
Pick a Signature invitation when the event has several functions, out-of-town guests who need hotels, or a story you want to tell page by page. Pick a Card invitation when you want something quick and classic: one beautiful card, a date, a place and a reply.
Which occasions offer which
Most occasions offer both kinds. A few offer cards only. In the catalogue the Signature and Card sides each list the occasions they cover.
