Online wedding invitation cards that open like the real thing
Your invitation is a small website that opens like a card from its envelope: your names, every function from haldi to reception, directions, a countdown and a reply. Send it on WhatsApp in English, Hindi or Tamil.
What is an online wedding invitation card?
An online wedding invitation card is an invitation your guests open on their phone instead of in their hands. On Shaadiwaale it is a link, not an image file: it opens with an animation, shows every function with its date, time and place, counts down to the day and lets each family reply.
When you send the link on WhatsApp, WhatsApp shows a picture of the card with your names and dates. Your guests need no app and no account.

What your guests see
An opening to remember
Doors swing open, a curtain parts, an envelope unseals or a satin bow comes undone, then petals fall.
Every function
From haldi to reception, each with its date, time and place, and directions in Google Maps.
A countdown
The days, hours and minutes to your first function, ticking down as they read.
Their own invitation
A family's link greets them by name and shows only the functions they are invited to.
A reply in a few taps
Which functions, how many are coming and what they eat, plus up to three questions of your own.
Add to calendar
One tap puts the functions in their phone's calendar.
Your story, photos and a song
If you like: a few lines on how you met, your photos, and a song that starts when they open it.
In their language
Every word guests read in English, Hindi or Tamil, including the countdown and the reply form.
Send your wedding invitation on WhatsApp
Copy your link, or share it on WhatsApp straight from the studio. WhatsApp shows a picture of your card with your names and dates, so it looks like an invitation before anyone taps it.
To greet each family by name, turn on Integrate with planning and send each one its own link, one family at a time, from your own WhatsApp. Shaadiwaale never sends messages for you.
Printed card, PDF or online invitation
| What | Printed card | Image or PDF on WhatsApp | Shaadiwaale invitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| How guests get it | By hand or by post | Forwarded on WhatsApp | A link on WhatsApp, with a picture of the card |
| Replies | Calls and messages you keep track of | Messages you keep track of | On the invitation, straight into your guest list |
| After it is sent | A change means printing again | A change means a new file | Change any word; the same link shows it |
| Directions and dates | The address in print | The address in the picture | A map link and Add to calendar for each function |

Some families print a few cards for elders and send the link to everyone else. The two work well together.
