What you get

Not a video, not a PDF. A page of its own.

Everything a wedding website does, inside an invitation your family will actually open.

An envelope that opens

Wax seal, flap or ribbon; the guest taps and the card unfolds with your song.

Countdown to the day

Counts down to the first function, on every guest's phone.

Every function, its own map

Nikah at the masjid, Walima at the hall, Mehndi at home: each with a map pin and a calendar button.

Replies on the card

Coming or not, and how many. Totals land in your panel, no app for anyone.

English and Urdu

Labels switch with one button; your own wording in either language.

Private guest links

Each family gets a page with their name, their seats and only their functions.

Edit after sending

Change a time or a venue once; every link already sent shows the new version.

Photos, FAQ and families

A gallery, a dress-code note, tap-to-call numbers for both sides of the family.

Two countries, one link

Guests in Canada, guests in Pakistan. One card.

  • Guests in Pakistan and guests abroad open the same link. Nobody gets a second-class version.
  • Functions in two countries sit on one card, each with its own date, venue and map.
  • It travels on WhatsApp, which is already where both sides of the family talk.
  • Private guest links greet the khala in Karachi and the colleague in Croydon by their own name.

The time difference

Pakistan is ten hours ahead of Toronto and twelve ahead of Vancouver during daylight saving time.

Dates and times stay exactly as the hosts wrote them: the day and the clock time at the venue. The calendar button saves the event at that same clock time, so when a guest's phone switches to Pakistan time at the airport it still reads 7 pm.

Prices in CAD

Pay once. Invite as many as you like.

The same card is sold in Pakistani rupees on the pricing page; these are the CAD prices for families paying from Canada.

Across Canada

Families we hear from in Canada.

The card is the same everywhere; what changes is the venue, the guest list and the number of time zones at the dinner table.

Mississauga

The heart of Pakistani Canada, with banquet halls along Dixie Road and Derry Road booked a year ahead. A card that lists the hall, the entrance and the parking saves fifty phone calls on the day.

Brampton

Pakistani, Punjabi and Gujarati families side by side, and a wedding week that can run from a Dholki at home to a 600-guest reception. Private links let each household see only the functions they are invited to.

Toronto and Scarborough

Guests spread across the GTA and arriving by the 401. Each function has its own map pin and calendar button, and the RSVP counts seats before the caterer asks.

Calgary

A younger community with relatives mostly still in Pakistan. One link goes to the family in NE Calgary and to the khandaan in Lahore at once, and the countdown builds the excitement on both sides.

Surrey and Vancouver

Weddings here mix Pakistani and Punjabi Sikh guests, often at banquet halls in Surrey and Newton. Your own words, your own functions, and the card in English and Urdu.

The designs

Every design is a working demo.

Open one on your phone and scroll it exactly as a guest would, before you spend anything.

Questions

Asked by families abroad.

A person reads every message, usually the same day.

Can I pay by card from Canada?

Paying from abroad: message us on WhatsApp and we arrange card payment or an international transfer before your card goes live. Prices on this page are in CAD; the same card is also sold in Pakistani rupees on the pricing page, and you may pay whichever way suits the family.

Guests in Pakistan and guests here: do they get different cards?

No. One card, one link. Every guest sees the same invitation, and if you give someone a private link it shows their own name, their seats and only the functions they are invited to, wherever they open it.

How does the time difference work on the card?

Dates and times stay exactly as the hosts wrote them: the day and the clock time at the venue. The calendar button saves the event at that same clock time, so when a guest's phone switches to Pakistan time at the airport it still reads 7 pm. Each function also carries its own venue and map link, so a Nikah held here and a Walima held in Pakistan sit side by side on one card.

Will my parents and the elders be able to read it?

Yes. Every design has English and Urdu labels, switched with one button on the card, and you can type your own wording in either language. Many families print a short run of cards for the elders and send everybody else the link.

How fast can it be ready?

A first version you can send takes about ten minutes: pick a design, type the names and dates. Most families spend an hour adding every function, the photos and the guest list, and everything stays editable afterwards.

Can guests in Pakistan reply if they are not used to RSVP?

The reply is one tap on the card: coming or not, and how many. There is no app and no account. Replies and totals land in your panel, and for anyone who still phones instead, you can enter their answer yourself.
