Designing a Digital Invitation with a Link and RSVP

A digital invitation is no longer just an image sent on WhatsApp. It can be a page with your design, a countdown, the venue on a map and a button for guests to RSVP. This article explains the kinds of digital invitations, which suits your event, and how to design and send one from your phone with Tiraz.

Create Your Digital Invitation

Kinds of digital invitation

An image: the simplest and quickest, shared in chats and stories, but it tells you nothing about who's coming, and the time and place get lost in the thread.
A video: eye-catching, but heavier to send, needs an editing app, and collects no replies.
An invitation link: a web page with the design and details; the guest opens it and accepts or declines, and you see the count.

Most people now combine the first and third: a beautiful image for stories and a link for details and RSVP. Tiraz makes both from one design; video isn't what it does, so use an editing app alongside it if you want one.

What a Tiraz invitation page contains

Your design itself, at full quality.
A countdown to the event.
The venue on a map with a button for directions.
An Add to Calendar button so guests don't forget.
Accept and decline buttons, with the count arriving in the app.

With Tiraz Gold, every confirmed guest receives a coded entry ticket for Apple Wallet, scanned at the door by you or whoever you send the scanner link to, even offline, so you know who actually came.

Steps to design a digital invitation

Open the engagement templates
Download Tiraz from the App Store, then on Home tap the title of the engagement shelf to see all its templates; you can also browse them first in engagement templates. Templates with a crown are part of Tiraz Gold, the rest open for free. Pick the design closest to your taste, since every text and color in it can change afterward.
The engagement shelf in Tiraz: tap a template to open it in the editor.
Type the names and details
Double-tap the text you want to change to open the text editor, replace the sample name («دانة») with yours and tap ✓. Change each text separately and keep its line breaks, so the template keeps its layout. The usual mistake is pasting a whole paragraph into one text, which shrinks the type and breaks the design.
The text editor: type your name over the sample name, then tap ✓.
Write the date in Hijri and Gregorian
Select the date text and open Date (or add a new date from the toolbar), pick the day and choose Hijri, Gregorian, or both, adding the weekday and time if you like. Tiraz calculates Hijri with the Umm al-Qura calendar, so there's nothing to convert yourself. Double-check the day you picked; date mistakes are the most common error on cards.
The date panel: Hijri, Gregorian, weekday, and time.
Create the invitation link
From the export sheet choose Invitation Link; Tiraz reads the occasion's name from your design, and you complete the host, day, time, and the venue on a map. Leave Ask Guests to RSVP on, then create the link. The free plan allows one live occasion whose page stays up until a week after the day; Gold gives unlimited invitations.
The invitation link form: occasion, host, day, venue, and RSVP.
Share the link and follow the replies
Once published, your link appears on tiraz.app; copy it or share it on WhatsApp. The same sheet shows how many are coming, who declined, the total guests, and page views, with each guest's name and note. With Gold, turn on attendance tracking so every guest gets an entry ticket scanned at the door.
