Invitation maker

The editor opens with an invitation template, and the gallery has designs for the most popular events. For specific guides and wording ideas, start from one of these:

• Birthday invitation maker: kids' parties and adult milestones.
• Wedding invitation maker: save the dates, invitations, RSVP and details cards.
• Baby shower invitation maker: showers, sprinkles, gender reveals and christenings.

The same editor works for graduations, bridal showers, housewarmings, retirements, anniversaries, holiday parties, potlucks, game nights and business events. Every part is editable: 40+ free fonts, solid or gradient colors, curved text, recolorable stickers such as balloons, hearts and flowers, patterned backgrounds, and photos in circle, heart, arch or polaroid frames. HEIC photos from an iPhone open directly.

A good invitation answers who, what, when, where and how to reply. Write the day of the week next to the date, include an end time when it matters, and keep the RSVP to one person, one method and one date.

Wording sets the tone. You're invited and Join us work for almost anything; The pleasure of your company is requested signals a formal event; Come hang out or Pizza, games and good friends tells guests it is casual. Keep the main line short and let the details table do the work.

Size	Use	Envelope
5 × 7 in	The standard US invitation	A7 (5.25 × 7.25 in)
4 × 6 in	Smaller cards, inserts, postcards	A6 (4.75 × 6.5 in)
148 × 148 mm square	Modern square invitation (about 5.8 in)	Square; may need extra postage

Switch between sizes at any time; the layout adapts automatically. Print sizes include a 3 mm (about 1/8 in) bleed, and the editor shows the trim line and safe zone.

Printed: download the PDF. It is 300 dpi with bleed and crop marks, ready for a print shop. To print at home, use card stock, print at actual size and trim along the crop marks.

Digital: download a JPG in the 1080 × 1920 phone size and send it by text, email or a messaging app, or post it as a story. A digital invitation is just an image, so write the RSVP method on it, such as a phone number, an email address or reply to this message, and collect the replies yourself.

Many hosts do both: a printed card for family and a digital version for everyone else.

Event	Send invitations
Kids' birthday party	2 to 3 weeks before
Adult or milestone birthday	3 to 4 weeks before
Baby or bridal shower	4 to 6 weeks before
Wedding	6 to 8 weeks before; save the dates 6 to 8 months before
Holiday party	3 to 4 weeks before, earlier in December
Casual get-together	1 to 2 weeks before

These are common US etiquette guidelines; give people more time when travel is involved.

• Proofread names, the date, the day of the week and the address before you print.
• Make a matching set: thank-you cards, signs and place cards from the same design, with the brand kit holding your colors and fonts.
• Check it at phone size before sending a digital version; small text disappears on a phone.
• Match the tone to the event. Script fonts and soft colors feel formal; bold sans-serif type, bright colors and confetti feel casual.
• Keep one focal point: the name or the event in large type, everything else smaller.
• Add a map-friendly address. Use the full street address so guests can paste it into a maps app.
• Save the project file if you plan to reuse the design next year; only the date and names need to change.

Your photos and party details stay on your device. The invitation is designed and exported in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.
