DAWATNAMA

About

For celebrations worth remembering.

A small studio in Karachi, building invitations you can share with everyone and address to each guest by name.

Dawatnama is a small team, not a corporation. We started it after one too many family weddings where the printed cards arrived late, went out with a name spelt wrong, and could not be corrected once the venue changed. Everybody ended up on WhatsApp anyway, forwarding a photograph of the card and asking what time the Mehndi was.

The idea is simple. Your invitation lives on its own page, and you send people a link instead of a card. For the people who should be invited personally, you can go further: a private link of their own, with their name on it, the seats held for them, and only the functions they are actually invited to. If the hall changes at eleven at night, you change it once, and every link you have already sent is right again before you have finished telling anyone.

Nothing here assumes whose wedding it is. You name your own functions and add as many as you are holding: a Dholki and a Walima, a Nikkah on its own, an Aqeeqah, a first birthday. The labels read in English and Urdu, and your own words stay exactly as you typed them.

Every design in the collection is a working demo, not a picture of one. Open any of them on your phone and scroll it the way a guest would before you decide whether to spend anything. Aapki dawat, aapke andaz me.

What we care about

Four things, held to.

Any celebration

No tradition is the default. You name your own functions, as many as you are holding.

By name, when it matters

Private links for the people you invite personally, with their seats already counted.

Yours to change

Edit anything, any time. Every link you have shared updates at once.

One payment

No subscription. Buy the design once and keep it for the whole access period.
