Wedding invitations

Scroll wedding invitation

Scroll invitations come from the farmaan — the rolled royal decree sealed with wax, carried by hand and unrolled before the reader. Printed scroll cards in velvet or brocade boxes are still a favourite for Rajasthani, Punjabi and grand destination weddings. They are also expensive to make and post.

    Publish and send one link. It opens full-screen on any phone, no app needed.

  4. 4

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each function.

funvite's scroll templates bring that moment to the phone. The guest taps the wax seal, it breaks, and the scroll unrolls as they swipe — artwork moving in layers, each function appearing in turn like a page of an illuminated manuscript. At the end: the venue map and the RSVP.

What fits on a scroll

Scrolls are read top to bottom, so they suit a long, ordered story: the invocation, the hosts, the couple, then each function in sequence. Keep each function to three lines — name, date and time, venue — and let the art do the rest. If you have a dress code for each night, add it as a short fourth line.

  • An invocation or seal mark at the top
  • Host names, then the couple
  • Functions in date order, each with a map pin
  • A closing line from the family
  • RSVP with function choices (Pro)

Styles of scroll

  • Rajputana: jharokhas, elephants, deep red and gold
  • Mughal garden: arches, cypress trees and soft green
  • Temple: brass, kolam borders and banana-leaf greens
  • Ivory and gold: understated, for an evening reception

Questions

Frequently asked

How does a digital scroll invitation work?

The guest taps the wax seal on the opening screen, then swipes up to unroll the scroll. Each section reveals as it scrolls into view. There is a small "open for me" button for anyone who prefers not to swipe.

Is a scroll invitation only for royal weddings?

It suits grand weddings best, but our scroll templates also come in quieter ivory and temple styles.

Can I add many functions?

Yes. Scrolls handle long programmes well — each function becomes its own section in order.

Can I use my own artwork on the scroll?

You can add photos to most templates. For your own illustrated scroll artwork, ask for a custom invite.

Will the scroll animation work on all phones?

Yes. On older phones and with reduced motion turned on, it simplifies to a gentle fade.
