The animations, design by design
An embossed envelope, closed with a wax seal bearing your initials, opens in the video intro. The seal is included in every plan; Maison Lumière, Royal and Eclipse all begin this way.
Doodle hides the news under a silver scratch card: the guest scratches with a finger, and the cover appears underneath.
Set Sail opens a brass porthole onto the sea, Cyclades a blue door onto the Aegean, Opera a red velvet curtain onto a chandelier.
Blue Ink slides the card out of its sleeve; Velvet Hour opens two panels of green velvet sealed in silver.
Doves beating their wings, shimmering water, swaying lanterns, butterflies: every cover keeps moving, quietly, for as long as the guest is looking.
Countdown, the timeline of your story, a map of the route, gallery, guest book, RSVP: each section has its own animations as guests scroll.
Animated, video, interactive: three different things
A video invitation is a clip: you watch it. An animated invitation is something you handle: you open, scratch, slide, scroll. An interactive invitation, finally, talks back: guests RSVP, choose their meal, leave a note, add the date to their calendar.
Our designs are all three at once. The intro is a video, the opening is a gesture, and everything after it is interactive, down to the RSVP you follow from your portal with the guest list and the seating chart. The intro is covered on the video invitations page.
All of it with no app: the link opens in the phone's browser, from WhatsApp, a text or an email, on iPhone and Android alike. The animations are light, and guests who prefer things calm skip the intro with one tap.
Made for you, not downloaded
Downloadable animated templates leave the editing, the fonts and the wording to you, and there is nobody behind them. Here, our designers build your invitation: your names, wording, photos and venue take their place in the design, and you approve the proof before anything is shared, with 2 to 7 rounds of revisions depending on the plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does the envelope really open?
Yes. On the envelope designs, the flap lifts, the seal breaks and the card slides out in the video intro, then the page takes over. Open the Maison Lumière or Royal demo to see it.
Do you have a sliding invitation?
Yes: Blue Ink slides the card out of its paper sleeve. Other designs open differently: shutters, porthole, door, curtain, scratch card.
Can we put our initials on the wax seal?
They are there by default, in every plan, in the typeface of the design. In Signature, your designer creates your monogram; in Essential, it is an extra ($15).
Is a free animated wedding invitation possible?
Some sites offer GIFs or do-it-yourself templates, free but with no RSVP, no web address with your names and nobody to build them. Our invitations start at $69, as a one-time payment, built by our designers, with every tool included.
Animated or printed?
They go together: we provide a QR code for your printed cards, and the animated invitation collects the replies. Many couples send the link to everyone and keep a few printed cards for the grandparents.
Does it work on every phone?
Yes, iPhone and Android, with no app. On a computer, the page sits in the center of the screen, in the same proportions.
