Hosting tip
Many families choose a matching fabric for guests, often called aso-ebi, and the invitation is a natural place to say so. Use the back note for one line such as "Aso-ebi colors: gold and green" and share the vendor details in a message.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type both names, the date and the venue; the label carries the families' line (TOGETHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES) and the back names the hosts, such as "Hosted by the Sharma and Mehta families", with room for the meal or the order of the day.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the engagement party invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an invitation for an introduction ceremony?
Yes, Cowrie Frame's headline reads Introduction & Engagement, and its back is labeled The Introduction. Both are editable if your families use a different name for the day.
Are the patterns copied from real cloth?
No. The tiles and frames are original designs inspired by adire and aso-oke textiles, not copies of any particular fabric.
