How to create a digital wedding invitation in Tanzania

Updated:

Short answer

Gather the wedding details, choose a card style, add your guest list, then send by WhatsApp, SMS or paper. Preview the card on a phone before sending, and give elders a paper card carrying the same QR and number.

Details to prepare before you start

  • The names of the couple
  • The date and time of each part: church service or nikah, and the reception
  • The venue, town and map
  • Dress code or colour of the day
  • A committee phone number to answer questions
  • A guest list with phone numbers

Steps to create the card

  1. Create the wedding and enter the names, date and venue.
  2. Choose a colour style that suits the wedding.
  3. Preview the card on a phone, as a guest will see it.
  4. Add guests and set how many people each may bring.
  5. Choose how to send to each guest.

Church, traditional or nikah weddings

The card can be written for any kind of ceremony. Add the details of each part, for example a 2 pm service and a 6 pm reception, and add your own greeting. Sample wording is on the wedding card wording page.

Elders and guests without smartphones

Send an SMS with the card number or print a paper card. The page on guests without smartphones explains how they enter at the gate.
