Wedding invitations

WhatsApp wedding invitation

Almost every Indian wedding invitation travels on WhatsApp now — to family groups, to colleagues, to friends who moved abroad. The problem is that a forwarded image of a printed card is small and blurry, and a PDF opens in a separate app that half your relatives can't find again.

Templates

Start from a template

Every one opens with a moment — tap, swipe or scratch — then shows the details, a map and RSVP. Tap a card to try it.

How it works

Ready in about fifteen minutes

  1. 1

    Pick a template

    Choose how it opens — a scroll, a diya, an envelope, a chat, stories or a scratch card.

  2. 2

    Make it yours

    Add names, every function, muhurat times and venues, in English or any Indian language. Add a photo.

  3. 3

    Share on WhatsApp

    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.

A funvite invite is a link. When a guest taps it, the invite opens full-screen in their phone's browser and plays — the seal breaks, the scroll unrolls, the envelope opens — and then shows every function with a map pin. WhatsApp shows a preview with your invite's title and image, so it looks like an invitation in the chat, not a random link.

How to send it well

  • Message first, link second. Write two or three lines in your own voice, then the link. See WhatsApp invitation messages for ready-to-copy text.
  • Personal over broadcast. For elders and close family, send one-to-one. funvite can add the guest's name to each link so the invite greets them by name.
  • Use broadcast lists, not groups, for wide circles. A broadcast list sends individually without creating a reply-all group.
  • Pin it. Ask close family to pin the chat or star the message — they'll want the map link on the day.
  • Send a reminder. A short note the day before with the venue link prevents most day-of phone calls.

Why a link beats an image or video on WhatsApp

WhatsApp compresses images and video heavily, so fine gold text on a card gets soft and long videos get cut or blurred. A link isn't compressed — the invite loads sharp on every phone. It can also be edited after sending, which matters when the sangeet moves from the lawn to the banquet hall because of rain.

With Pro (₹99 per invite), guests RSVP inside the invite and you see a live list of who is coming to which function. The bulk-share helper prepares personalised links for your whole list so you are not copy-pasting names at midnight.

Questions

Frequently asked

Will the link show a preview in WhatsApp?

Yes. Published invites carry a title, description and image, so WhatsApp shows a card-like preview above the link.

Can I send it to 500 people at once?

WhatsApp limits broadcast lists to 256 contacts each, so make two or three lists. With Pro, the bulk-share helper prepares a personalised message and link for each guest.

Does the guest need WhatsApp to open it?

No. It's a normal web link, so it also works by SMS, email, Instagram or Telegram.

Can I see who has opened the invite?

You see total opens and plays in your dashboard. On Pro, you also see each RSVP with names, guest counts and the functions they picked.

Is it free?

Free templates are free to make and share. Pro (₹99 per invite) adds RSVP, games, multiple functions and removes the small "Made with funvite" link.

What is the best time to send?

Mid-morning or early evening, when people are likely to read and reply. Avoid late night for elders.
