Tip: Choose a template with space to write more text if you add your entire honeymoon itinerary here (Engagement, Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding, Reception) – it’s best to add all information on one card.
Adobe’s Spark Post
It’s similar to Canva – has a website and an app (only on iOS). But there are only a handful of free save-the-date templates and no easy-to-use Indian wedding invitation templates. It’s basically like a simpler version of Photoshop that requires you to create something from scratch, but they have attractive combinations of fonts, elements, layout, and colour palette that let you create a decent-looking invitation. However, the creativity of your design is limited by your own imagination. So if you’re looking for a blank canvas with a bit of support (of anything but a full model) who doesn’t know how to use Photoshop, you’ll find this great.
How cool are the free designs: Nice!!!
Delivery format: photo or animated video, unable to track RSVPs
Ideal for: Save The Date, bridal shower and engagement party invitations
Difficulty creating your invitation: moderately difficult
Tip: You can use their recommended templates or create your own from scratch, including searching for a background image. Try searching for watercolour, flat lay, floral, and marble for interesting background options for your wedding invitation.
