Invitation cards in Hindi or English, ready for WhatsApp

Most invitations in India now travel on WhatsApp first and on paper second, if at all. A griha pravesh, a mundan, a Satyanarayan katha at home or a child's first birthday usually needs one good-looking card that can be sent to family groups in the morning and printed for elders who prefer paper. This tool makes that card. Pick the occasion, and it fills in respectful, natural wording in Hindi or English. Change any word, add your names, date, time and address, choose a design, and download it.

The card is drawn in your browser with vector art, so it is sharp at any size, carries no watermark and needs no sign-up. Your names, address and photo are not uploaded anywhere.

How to make your invitation

1. Choose the occasion. There are fifteen, from griha pravesh and birthday to godh bharai, Sukhmani Sahib path and shop opening.
2. Choose Hindi or English. The heading, message and labels switch language; names and places you typed stay as they are.
3. Edit the wording. Pick a top line (for example ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥) or none, then change the heading, the names to highlight and the message.
4. Add when and where. Pick the date and time; the card writes them out in words, such as "रविवार, 1 नवंबर 2026" and "सुबह 9 बजे". Add a programme line, like the time of the havan or lunch, and the address.
5. Add a location QR and a photo if you like.
6. Pick a design, colours and lettering, then download the WhatsApp image, an animated GIF or a print PDF.

What to write on an invitation card

A good invitation answers five questions in a few seconds: what is the occasion, whose it is, when, where, and who is inviting. Everything else is decoration. The ready wording follows that order:

Keep the message to two or three sentences. Put timings that guests need in the programme line ("प्रीतिभोज: दोपहर 1 बजे से" or "Lunch: from 1 pm") rather than inside the message, and write the address the way a cab driver would search for it, with a landmark.

Designs and lettering

There are nine designs, all drawn as vector shapes: a marigold toran with a kalash and diyas, a mandala on a deep background, a geometric rangoli border, a royal arch (jharokha) frame, florals, paisley bands, a row of diyas under string lights, balloons with bunting, and a minimal frame with a lotus. None of them uses images of deities or copied artwork, so the card suits families of any tradition. Nine colour sets and five lettering styles (traditional, elegant script, festive, handwritten and modern) let you match the mood of the occasion.

The text size adjusts by itself so everything fits. If the card says there is too much text, shorten the message or drop the programme line.

Sizes you can download

• Image for WhatsApp (JPG): 1080 × 1528 px portrait or 1080 × 1080 px square. The portrait card has the same proportions as A5 and A6 paper.
• Animated GIF: a short loop with petals, lights, flickering diyas or confetti, at 540 px wide so it sends quickly.
• Print PDF: an A5 card (148 × 210 mm), an A6 card (105 × 148 mm), or an A4 sheet with two A5 or four A6 cards and dashed cut lines. Print at Actual size (100%) on card paper.

Tips before you send it

• Check the day and date together. The card works out the weekday from the date you pick, which avoids the common "Sunday, 2 November" mistake when the 2nd is a Monday.
• Test the location QR by scanning it from the downloaded image before you send it to a hundred people.
• Send the JPG with the GIF. Some phones show a GIF only after it is tapped, so the still image makes sure everyone sees the details.
• Use the elder's name the family expects in the "From" line. In Hindi cards, "निवेदक" or "दर्शनाभिलाषी" followed by the family name is the usual style.
• Keep phone numbers to one or two, and say whose they are if the card is going to both sides of the family.

Which occasion card to pick

Religious functions at home, such as a katha, havan, mundan or naming ceremony, read best with the Hindi wording and a traditional design like the mandala, rangoli or royal arch. Parties such as a birthday, kitty party or retirement dinner suit the English wording with the balloons, florals or minimal design. You can mix them freely: the wording, design, colours and lettering are all separate choices.

Privacy
