How to Make a Wedding Invitation Card: Steps, Details and Design Tips
How to make a wedding invitation card: why go digital, how ordering works, what details to include, and design tips for a beautiful invite.
Your wedding invitation is the first impression guests get of your big day. Today most couples send it digitally on WhatsApp, which is faster, easier to change and reaches relatives anywhere in the world. Here is how to make a wedding invitation card that looks beautiful, reads clearly and suits your family's traditions.
Why choose a digital wedding invitation?
- Easy to update: if a detail changes, the file is simply revised. No printing or courier needed.
- Reaches everyone at once: share on WhatsApp, email, Facebook or Instagram, including guests abroad.
- More than a card: choose a JPG eCard, a multi-page PDF, a video with music, a GIF or a caricature design.
- Budget-friendly: eCards start at ₹599, PDF invitations at ₹799 and wedding videos from ₹1,199.
How to get your wedding invitation made
- Choose a design: pick an eCard, PDF or video from our collection, in any religious or regional style.
- Share the details: fill in the names, functions, dates, venues and photos on the design page, or send them on WhatsApp after ordering.
- Pay online: payment is 100% in advance and prices include GST.
- Review the draft: our designers personalise it and send the first draft on WhatsApp, within 4–6 working hours for an eCard or PDF and about 24 working hours for a video. Revisions are included (2 rounds for eCards and PDFs, 1 for videos).
- Share it: approve the final file and send it to your guests.
What to include in the invitation
- A blessing or opening line, such as a Ganesh shloka, a Bible verse or a line of Gurbani
- Names of the bride and groom, and of the parents or elders inviting the guests
- Each function with its date, time and venue (haldi, mehndi, sangeet, wedding, reception)
- A Google Map location or QR code for each venue (₹99 add-on), so guests can find it with one tap
- Dress code or colour theme, if you have one
- RSVP contact numbers
If you have many functions, a multi-page PDF or a wedding itinerary invitation keeps everything organised. Need a separate invite for one function? An extra function or version of the same design costs 50% of the design price. For ready-made text, see our wedding card matter in English.
Design tips for a beautiful invitation
Pick a theme that tells your story
The theme can hint at the kind of wedding you are planning: royal and traditional, floral and pastel, or modern and minimal. Choose one that matches your venue and events.
Let colours set the mood
Colours create emotion. Bright, fresh shades suit a daytime wedding, while deep jewel tones with gold feel right for an evening celebration. Be intentional and stick to two or three main colours.
Use photos and illustrations
Add your pre-wedding photos with photo-based wedding invitations, or go for a fun caricature wedding invitation drawn from your photos. Couple caricatures start at ₹1,999.
Choose fonts carefully
Script fonts look elegant for your names, while clean fonts keep the details easy to read. Avoid mixing too many fonts in one design.
Leave some breathing space
Don't crowd the invitation with graphics and text. Leave enough space between lines and around images so guests are not overwhelmed.
Make every detail readable on a phone
Most guests will open the invite on WhatsApp. Use strong contrast between text and background, and a font size that doesn't need zooming, so dates and venues stand out.
Add music and movement
A wedding invitation video with your favourite song makes the invite memorable, and a vertical 9:16 version is perfect for WhatsApp status and Instagram.
Tips for sending your invitations
- Start early: order the invitation six to eight weeks before the wedding so there is time for changes.
- Send it personally on WhatsApp with a short note, instead of a group broadcast, for close family.
- For elders, follow up with a phone call; it is still a respected custom.
- Share a reminder with the venue location a few days before each function.
