funvite festival invitations are small, playful pages instead. A Diwali invite asks the guest to swipe and light a diya before the details glow into view. A Holi invite can be scratched open like a packet of gulal. A Ganpati invite can arrive as a chat from the host family, with aarti timings and a map pin. Each one is a single link that opens in any phone browser, with no app to install.

What a good festival invite says
Festival invitations are more casual than wedding cards, but guests still need a few things to plan their evening. Festive weeks are crowded: people may have three homes to visit in one night, so the clearer you are, the more likely they will make it to yours.
- The festival and the kind of gathering — puja, lunch, card party, garba night, open house.
- Date and a real time window. For pujas, the muhurat or aarti time matters more than the end time.
- Address with a map pin, plus parking or society-gate notes during busy festival traffic.
- Dress code if there is one — whites for Holi, traditional wear for garba, red and white for Bijoya, sparkle for New Year.
- Food notes: whether it is a full meal, prasad only, satvik, vegetarian or a potluck.
- Kids and elders: is it family-friendly, is there a quiet corner, will there be firecrackers or loud music.
- An RSVP line, so you can plan sweets, seats and return gifts.
Why a playful invite works better on WhatsApp
During festivals, phones fill up with forwarded greetings. A plain JPEG looks like one more of them. A link that says “tap to light the diya” or “scratch to reveal” gets opened, because it is clearly personal. funvite also personalises the opening with the guest’s name when you share a named link, so “Dear Meera ji” sees her own name before anything else.
Free invites include the full experience and a shareable link. Pro (₹99 per invite) adds RSVPs with a guest list you can export, small games for guests, several events on one invite and your own link. If you want something made just for your family, with your photos and your own art, custom invites start at ₹2,999.
