Our story

The Card, Reimagined

InviteAura exists because the most important detail on an invitation — the venue, the time, the door number — is the one that most often changes after the cards are already printed.

What is InviteAura?

InviteAura is an online platform for creating digital invitations. Instead of a printed card that has to be designed, proofed, printed and physically delivered, you get a beautifully designed web page with its own link. You send that link; your guests open it.

Inside a single invitation you get the design, the names, the date, the venue with working directions, a live countdown, your photographs — all of it readable on a five-year-old phone in a village with two bars of signal.

The result feels like a card because it was designed like one. Every template starts from real invitation typography: generous letter-spacing, a proper display serif, ornamental rules and a frame. It just happens to live on the web.

Why digital invitations?

Printed invitations are lovely, and nothing here argues otherwise. But they are also slow, expensive per copy, impossible to correct, and — for the ninety percent of guests who live in another city — an exercise in courier tracking.

A digital invitation solves the practical half of the problem while keeping the part that matters: something beautiful arriving in someone's hands, with your names on it.

What your guests receive

  • Your names, families and the date, set in a proper invitation design
  • Every function — Haldi, Mehndi, wedding, reception — with its own time
  • The venue with a one-tap Google Maps button and a live countdown
  • Call Host and Share buttons, so they can reach you or pass it on

What it costs

Making and previewing an invitation is free, and you can share it straight away as a link. Hosting it at its own short address is a one-time ₹99 — no subscription, and it stays live until 31 days after your event.

Benefits

Six Reasons Hosts Switch

Easy

Seven short steps and a live preview. If you can fill in a form, you can make an invitation that looks like it came from a studio.

Fast

From blank page to shareable link in about a minute — and a correction to the venue takes ten seconds, not another print run.

Beautiful

Over three hundred designs drawn specifically for invitations, with proper display typography and ornamental detail — not repurposed poster templates.

Shareable

One link travels on WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, email and SMS. No file sizes, no failed downloads, no “can you send it again?”.

Mobile friendly

Designed at 320px first. It works on the newest phone in the family and the oldest one, in bright sun and in dark mode.

Environment friendly

A wedding print run is typically several hundred cards, most of which are read once and thrown away. A link has no paper, no ink and no courier van.

How it works behind the scenes

InviteAura is built with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript and runs on Vercel. All 963 templates, the search and filtering, the live editor, the countdown, the QR encoder and the share targets run right in your browser.

Creating and downloading needs no server at all: your draft is saved in your own browser's storage and your photos are read locally. Only when you choose to host an invitation does it leave your device.

When you host an invitation

Hosting is the one part that runs on a server:

  • Vercel serverless routes publish the page and serve it at its own link
  • GitHub stores the published page and its photos and music
  • Razorpay takes the one-time ₹99 payment by UPI, card or net banking

Every hosted invitation gets its own unique link, live until 31 days after the event, and a confirmation email, with no accounts and nothing to renew.

How we think about your data

Two principles, decided early and worth stating plainly. First, guest lists are not a product — we will not sell, rent or mine them. Second, your invitation is yours: nothing leaves your browser unless you host it, and a hosted invitation and its photos are removed whenever you ask. The Privacy Policy spells out exactly what is and is not collected.
