Digital shadi card: the online shadi card in Pakistan, explained

A digital shadi card (shaadi card, online shadi card, dawat card: people write it many ways) is a wedding invitation that lives at a web link instead of on paper. The family sends the link on WhatsApp, the guest taps it, and the card opens on their phone with their own name on it, the functions they are invited to, the venue on a map and a button to say whether they are coming. It is not a JPG forward, not a PDF and not a video file. It is a small private page made for that guest.

Roman Urdu mein: digital shadi card ek link hai jo har mehman apne phone par kholta hai. Us par us ka naam, us ke functions, hall ka map aur RSVP ka button hota hai. Yeh guide batati hai ke yeh kaise kaam karta hai, kya dikhata hai, kitne ka hai aur shuru kaise karein. The full step-by-step is in how to make an online wedding card in Pakistan.

Digital shadi card kya hota hai

• A link, for example dawatnama.store/your-names, that opens in any phone browser. No app to install.
• Every family can get its own private guest link: their name on the card, the seats held for them and only the functions they are invited to.
• Urdu and English on the same card, switched with one button, so elders and younger guests both read it comfortably.
• Each function (Dholki, Mehndi or Mehendi, Nikah or Nikkah, Barat or Baraat, Walima or Valima) with its date, time, venue and a Google Maps pin.
• A calendar button that saves the dates to the guest's phone, and an RSVP button that sends their answer and headcount to your panel.
• If a time or hall changes, you change it once and every link already sent shows the new detail.

A link, not a picture: why it matters

Most 'online shadi cards' forwarded in Pakistan are a single image. It looks fine, but it is the same image for everyone, it cannot carry a map button or an RSVP, WhatsApp compresses it, and when the venue changes you make a new one and resend it to all 300 people. A link fixes every one of those problems, which is why families who have done one wedding with a JPG switch to a link for the next. The trade-offs are honest ones: a link needs an internet connection to open, and a very old phone with no browser cannot show it. The checklist in what to check before you buy a digital invitation covers both.

What the guest sees

• An envelope or gate animation, then the card with the family's chosen design and colours.
• Their own name and seat count at the top, when you have sent them a private link.
• The functions in order, with 'After Maghrib' or '8:00 PM onwards', the hall and a map button for each.
• A note line for parking, gate, dress code or 'ladies only'.
• RSVP: 'haan, hum aa rahe hain' with the number of people, or a polite no.
• A song, if you chose one for a Mehndi card; it plays only when the guest taps to open.

Sending it on WhatsApp

You send a short message with the link: one message per family if you use private links, or one general link to a group for friends and colleagues. Elders and the closest relatives still get a visit or a call first; the link follows as the written invitation. Ready-made message texts in Urdu, Roman Urdu and English are in wedding invitation messages for WhatsApp, and the sending routine (who gets what, in which order, and reminders) is in sending your invitation on WhatsApp. A fuller note on the link itself is in WhatsApp wedding invitation in Pakistan.

Digital shadi card price in Pakistan

• The card: one design, one price, paid once. Rs. 1,999 for every design. Three months of access and editing are included.
• Private guest links, optional: 30 links for Rs. 1,500, 120 for Rs. 3,000, unlimited for Rs. 5,000. Without a pack you get one general link for everybody.
• Setup service, optional: Rs. 1,500 and we enter every name, function and address from what you send on WhatsApp.
• Custom designs drawn from scratch start at Rs. 25,000 and are quoted per brief.
• Payment by bank transfer. Unlimited edits, free. Delivery on WhatsApp, the same day.

So a family of 200 households with unlimited private links pays Rs. 6,999, or Rs. 8,499 with the setup service, and the 201st guest costs nothing. The printed comparison is in shadi card price in Pakistan, and the full list is on pricing.

Who a digital shadi card suits

It suits families whose guests are spread across cities and countries, families with 150 or more households, anyone whose dates or hall might still move, and anyone who wants the headcount before the caterer asks. It suits a small Nikkah just as well: forty private links and a map of the masjid. Most families still print 20 or 30 cards for the elders and hand them over with mithai, and send everyone else the link; digital or printed is the honest comparison.

How to start: 4 steps

• 1. Open the collection on your phone and pick a design you would be happy to receive yourself.
• 2. Tap 'try it' and type your names and one function. The preview is free and shows exactly what the guest will see.
• 3. Create an account, fill in the functions, venues and map pins, choose a links pack if you want private links, and pay by bank transfer.
• 4. Add your guest list, copy each family's link and send it on WhatsApp. Watch the RSVPs arrive in your panel.
