Islamic Lantern Wedding Invitation

A quiet digital wedding invitation for Muslim and Arab weddings. A brass lantern is lit in a plaster arch at night and your names appear in its light, under the Bismillah.

Noor opens at night on a pointed plaster arch with a brass lantern hanging unlit at its centre. A small line invites guests to light it. One tap and the flame catches, star-shaped light spreads across the arch and the plaster turns warm gold. In the glow beneath the lantern, the Bismillah appears above your names, with your wedding date underneath.

The rest of the invitation stays as quiet as the opening: ivory plaster, midnight indigo and brass, with light as the only ornament. Each section hangs from its own small lantern, your photo sits inside a carved stucco arch, and your programme shows a still life for every day, from Katb al-Kitab and the henna night to the wedding and the walima.

Speaks every language your guests do

Noor switches between English, Swedish, Arabic, Spanish and French. Add your names in Arabic script and every guest sees them large in the lantern's glow, with your names in Latin letters underneath, whatever their language. The Bismillah and the optional verse are always shown in Arabic.

Islamic Lantern — frequently asked questions

What happens when guests open the invitation?

They see a plaster arch at night and an unlit brass lantern. One tap lights it: the flame catches, star-shaped light fills the arch, and the Bismillah, your names and your date fade into the glow. Guests who prefer less motion see the lit arch straight away.

Can we turn the Bismillah off, or add a verse?

Yes. The Bismillah is shown above your names by default and you can switch it off. You can also add Ar-Rum 30:21, the verse on spouses, affection and mercy, under the arch in Arabic, with its meaning in each guest's language.

Can guests see the Katb al-Kitab, henna and walima too?

Yes. Add each day to your programme and guests see one timeline in chronological order, each day with its own still life on indigo velvet.

Can we show our names in Arabic and English?

Yes. Add your names in Arabic script and Noor shows them large, with your Latin names underneath, in every language of the invitation.
