An invitation has one job: tell people what, when and where, and make them want to come. Most are now sent as an image in a message or a group chat, and many are still printed. Both need the same thing, a clean card that is easy to read on a phone.
Type an opening line, the event or the names, and the details, one per line. Add a photo if you like, at the top, in a circle or as the whole background. Choose a size: a 2:3 pin, a 5 x 7 inch print or a 9:16 story. The invitation is made in your browser, with no account and no watermark.
What to put on an invitation
Guests need five things: who or what it is for, the date, the time, the place and how to reply. Write the date with the day of the week, since people check that first. If there is a dress code, a gift note or a parking tip, add one short line; more than that belongs in a message.
Keep the name short enough to read at a glance. A script font such as Great Vibes suits weddings and showers. A bold sans serif suits a party or a kids birthday.
Sizes for sharing and printing
The 5 x 7 inch size is 1500 x 2100 pixels, 300 dots per inch, the usual resolution for a sharp print. The story size, 1080 x 1920, fills a phone screen in messaging apps and Instagram stories. The 2:3 pin size is for sharing ideas and templates on Pinterest.
For a public event, use the event flyer pin maker. For a card to send on the day, see the birthday card maker, and for the food, the holiday menu pin maker.
