Animated Digital Wedding Invitations

Templates

Noor — One tap lights a brass lantern in a plaster arch; the Bismillah, your names and your date fade into its glow. See the Noor demo
Mehndi — Henna draws itself across a bare palm, then both your names appear in the medallion at its centre. See the Mehndi demo
Yasmine — An embroidered gatefold tied with a silk ribbon: the ribbon slips away, the panels open, your names sit in the oval. See the Yasmine demo
Midad — Liquid gold paints an illuminated border around a blank page, then your names are written in ink: Arabic first if you add your Arabic names, then Latin. See the Midad demo
Zahra — A painted Lebanese coast tied with a linen ribbon: the bow unties, the painting tears open onto the sky and your names appear there. See the Zahra demo
Qamariya — Carved walnut doors swing open onto a glowing stained-glass qamariya, and your names appear on its milky glass. See the Qamariya demo
Riviera Post — A painted postcard lifts off a café table and turns over; your message writes itself and the postmark lands. See the Riviera Post demo
Babylonian Splendor — An Ishtar Gate film opens onto your photo in a glazed lapis arch. See the Babylonian Splendor demo
Midnight Royale — A gold Art Deco gate draws itself on black marble; one tap flies you through its arch. See the Midnight Royale demo
Sealed with Love — An ivory satin bow; one tap pulls the ribbon loose onto your photo and your names in gold script. See the Sealed with Love demo
Nacre — Your initials on a gold seal; light pours from the pearl envelope. See the Nacre demo
The Gazette — The front page spins in like an old film, your names as the masthead. See the The Gazette demo

What makes an animated invitation feel personal

A good animation is short, has one idea and ends on your names. Ours last a few seconds and are tied to the design: the lantern in Noor is the light the whole invitation is built around, the henna in Mehndi is the same henna you will wear, the ribbon in Yasmine is the ribbon on the card. Nothing spins or flies around for the sake of it.

The names are never baked into the video. They are set as live text at the moment the film reveals them, so they are sharp on every screen, spelled exactly as you typed them and, if you add them, shown in Arabic script too. Change a detail in your dashboard and the animation still ends on the right names and date.

A film, a turn of the card, or a door that opens

Noor, Mehndi, Yasmine, Midad, Zahra, Qamariya and Nacre open with a short film when the guest taps. Riviera Post has no film at all: the postcard is turned in 3D in the browser, then the message writes and signs itself. Midnight Royale draws an Art Deco gate, Riad Zellige assembles a zellige mosaic, Cedar & Candle lights a single candle and The Gazette spins in its front page.

Guests who have asked their phone for reduced motion are not forced to sit through it: the film-led designs skip the film and go straight to the finished page. Everyone else gets a few seconds of something worth opening, and then the invitation itself.

Everything after the animation still has to work

Below the opening, each design carries the practical part of the invitation: ceremony and reception with map links, add to calendar for Google and Apple, a programme for weddings that run over several days, and an RSVP form where guests say if they are coming, choose a meal, name their plus-ones and leave a message.

Replies land in your dashboard straight away. You can send one shared link to everyone, or a personal link to each guest so their reply is matched to their name.

Frequently asked questions

Do guests need to download anything to see the animation?

No. The invitation opens in the phone's browser from the link you send, and the animation plays there. Guests do not need an app or an account.

Which templates have a film intro?

Noor (a lantern), Mehndi (henna drawing itself), Yasmine (a ribbon untied), Midad (an illuminated page written in ink), Zahra (a painted coast that tears open onto the sky) and Qamariya (carved doors that open onto a stained-glass window) open with a short film on tap. Babylonian Splendor opens with an Ishtar Gate intro video. The others open with their own animation, such as Riviera Post's postcard flip or Sealed with Love's satin ribbon.

Are our names part of the video?

No, and that is on purpose. Your names and date are set as live text over the film at the moment it reveals them, so they stay sharp, are spelled exactly as you typed them, and update if you change them.

What about guests who prefer less motion?

If a guest's phone is set to reduce motion, the film-led designs skip the film and show the finished page with your names already in place.

How much does an animated invitation cost?

Every template is animated, so the price is the same: Standard is $249, paid once, with up to 200 guests. Customizable starts at $499 and our team sets it up for you.
