How to make an invitation
Open Paperless Post on desktop, mobile, or our app, and create an account or sign in. Then, select whatever category you like to start browsing thousands of invitation designs.
Explore invitations for any type of event, in a wide range of styles, shapes, and colors. Browse designs by your party’s theme, milestone, and more to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Once you’ve selected an invitation template, edit the text, fonts, colors, backdrop, spacing, and alignment, and add fun stickers for a special touch. Upload a photo if you’ve chosen a photo Card, try one of our Magic Fonts for added dimension, and finish things off with a matching envelope, liner, and your choice of stamp.
Fill out your event page to include any additional information guests will need to know, and select a Page Style to choose colors and fonts that complement your design. Enable Guest Questions, include a Comment Wall, and add helpful Blocks to send along further details like a schedule of events, dress code, photo gallery, travel information, registry links, and more.
Add your guests however you prefer—one by one with their phone numbers or email addresses, add them directly from your contact list, upload a spreadsheet, or paste a list. You can also send one combined invitation to a group, such as a couple or family.
Then, send your invitation to guests via email, text message, or a link you can share anywhere. Create a Custom URL to make it even easier for guests to refer back to your event page for all the details!
