The Dawaitna start page: a notice that publishing begins a free 24-hour version, a choice between an invitation and a gift page, name fields filled in with Kareem and Salma, and three chips for engagement, katb kitab and wedding

Make your own wedding invitation in minutes

Pick a design, answer one page about the names, the date and the place, then publish and see the invitation live before you pay.

An anniversary page for Hassan and Mona with a counter reading 30 years, 3 months and 12 days married, and a line under it saying the next anniversary is 261 days away

An anniversary gift that counts the years

A page that counts how long a couple has been married, made in a few minutes and sent as one link on WhatsApp.

The intro screen of a live demo invite, a sealed envelope card with the couple's names and an open the invitation button, before the guest taps to reveal the full interactive page underneath

Template maker or invitation platform? Ask before you pay

A template maker produces a file. A platform produces a live page. The difference shows up in the week of the wedding, so find out before you pay.

The guestbook of a live Dawaitna demo invite, with a zaghrouta button in the bottom left corner and a round sound button in the bottom right, both staying in place while the page scrolls

Music and a zaghrouta button on a digital wedding invitation

A song that starts as the envelope opens and a zaghrouta button that bursts on the guest's own screen. How to set them up, and what to know about sound on phones.

An invitation card in the Stained glass design: the Christian opening line at the top, a small rose window, the names Kareem and Salma, and the verse Love never fails inside a church-window arch

A Christian wedding invitation online: the verse, the church ceremony and the day

A church wedding invitation has its own words: a Bible verse, a day that starts at church, and a prayer for the couple. Here is what changes when you mark the invitation as Christian.

The lower part of a live Dawaitna demo invite, with a save-the-date card offering a calendar download and a Google Calendar button, a share card with copy-link and WhatsApp buttons, and the venue card next to them

Wedding invitation timeline: what to send and when

A practical timeline from the guest list to the door on the night, and what changes when the invitation is a link on WhatsApp instead of printed cards.

The event schedule card on a live Dawaitna demo invite, with two events under one invitation, the henna at the bride's house for close family and friends and the katb kitab at the hall two hours before the wedding

Engagement, katb kitab, or wedding: one invitation or three?

The engagement, the henna, the katb kitab and the wedding do not need three invitations. When to put them in one link, and when to split them.

The guestbook on a live Dawaitna demo invite: a name field and a message field, buttons for both, groom or bride, a checked box labelled show to other guests, and a send button

Who can see your wedding guest messages

A guest writes a message and unticks "show to other guests". Who reads it, how you follow it, and what is deleted after two years.

The become-an-agent page: a headline about selling invitations at your own price, four bullet points (set your sale price, a dashboard, sub-agents under you, design and hosting handled for you) and an application form with name, WhatsApp and city

Starting a digital invitation reselling business

If your work puts you near couples who are planning a wedding, you can sell their invitations at your own price. How the model works and what you owe.

The venue card on a live Dawaitna demo invite: the hall name, a note about the entrance and the garage, a Black Tie dress code line, an open-the-map button, and ride buttons for Uber, Careem, inDrive and DiDi below it

Helping wedding guests find the venue

You know where the hall is. Your guests know a line in a WhatsApp message. How to put the map, the ride buttons and the practical notes in one place.

The attendance card on a live Dawaitna demo invite: a name field, buttons for attending, maybe and sorry, and a separate question about the katb kitab, under a venue card with a map button and ride buttons

What to check before choosing a digital invitation platform

Five practical checks before you pay for any digital invitation platform, beyond how the design looks.

The Dawaitna themes gallery page showing several invitation design cards such as starry night, ornate frame, and paper and ink, each labeled with its supported languages and color palette next to a try-the-demo button

Choosing a wedding invitation design

Choosing an invitation theme isn't only about which one looks nicest. A few practical checks matter more than a first glance.

The guestbook section on a live Dawaitna demo invite: an empty message wall next to a message form with a name field, a message box, and a choice to address it to both, the groom, or the bride

Digital wedding guestbooks

A paper guestbook ends up in a drawer. A digital one stays reachable, and does one thing paper can't: a message marked for the couple's eyes only.

An opened demo invite showing the couple's names in large script and a live countdown with real digits for days, hours, minutes and seconds, plus a progress bar between the invitation's publish date and the wedding date

Why a wedding countdown page matters

A countdown isn't just a number that moves. It's what brings the guest back to open the invitation more than once before the wedding.

An RSVP form on a live demo invite, with attending, not attending and maybe buttons, a separate question for the katb kitab ceremony, and a plus-one counter

Tracking wedding RSVPs without a spreadsheet

Chasing headcounts by phone one guest at a time takes time it doesn't need to. Let the answer come from the guest directly instead.

The share section of a live demo invite, with a copy invitation link button and a share on WhatsApp button next to the venue directions card

Sending a wedding invitation on WhatsApp the right way

A plain link on WhatsApp can land in the same mental folder as spam. The preview card and the timing both change that.

The English version of a live demo invite titled Kareem and Salma's Wedding, showing the platform renders real English content rather than a machine translation

Bilingual wedding invitation wording

If your guests read Arabic and English, wording the invitation properly in both matters a lot more than a translate toggle would suggest.
