Introducing the New Professional Invitation Designer

"I'm not a designer. I can barely use PowerPoint. How am I supposed to create a beautiful invitation?"

Maria stared at her screen, overwhelmed. Her daughter's quinceañera was in 6 weeks, and she wanted invitations that captured the elegance of the event - but every design tool she tried was either too complicated or too limited.

We heard stories like Maria's every week. And we knew we could do better.

Design Like a Pro, Even If You're Not

Today, we're launching Designer V2 - a completely rebuilt invitation designer that gives you professional-grade tools wrapped in an interface anyone can use.

No design experience required. No tutorials needed. Just intuitive controls that work the way you think.

The Canvas Approach

We've built Designer V2 on a professional canvas system - the same technology that powers tools like Canva and Photoshop. But unlike those tools, ours is laser-focused on one thing: creating beautiful event invitations.

What this means for you:

Drag elements exactly where you want them
Zoom in to perfect tiny details
Pan across your design with ease
Undo and redo without fear

It feels natural from the first click.

Made for Your Fingers

Half of our users design invitations on their phones. So we built Designer V2 with mobile as a priority, not an afterthought.

Touch controls that actually work:

Pinch to zoom (just like photos)
Drag with your finger to reposition
Tap to select and edit
Smooth, responsive gestures

Maria designed her daughter's entire quinceañera invitation on her iPhone during her lunch breaks. "I couldn't believe how easy it was," she told us. "It felt like playing with photos, not fighting with software."
