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.

- 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
- Create the wedding and enter the names, date and venue.
- Choose a colour style that suits the wedding.
- Preview the card on a phone, as a guest will see it.

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.
