Features
Custom designs, sending by email, text and WhatsApp, read receipts, guest list tools, co-hosts and a wall for updates. Every feature below is included for $5 per event. No ads. Larger phone guest lists may need additional credits to cover texting costs.
Describe the party and get an invitation made for it. Add your own text, photos and animation, or start from a template for your occasion.
Like the design but not the sky? Open the Edit tab, describe the change, and only that changes: the rest of the artwork, its style and its lettering stay as they are. Works on generated and uploaded designs, keeps your text and image layers, and uses one design generation. A connected assistant can make the same edits from a chat.
Place a photo, a logo or a sticker on top of the invitation and drag or resize it into place. Once the event is published, drop in the RSVP QR code so a printed invitation can be scanned.
Browse sample invitations for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduations, holiday parties, anniversaries and housewarmings. Open one to copy its design brief or start your own invitation from it.
Search Giphy from the editor and use an animated GIF as the invitation background.
Not sure what to ask for? Get four design ideas built from the occasion, the date and the guest of honor’s interests. Expand any of them into a full brief, or keep your own idea and have the details added for you.
Every design you generate is kept. Browse past versions and bring any of them back without losing the current one.
Describe the party and the design engine creates an invitation made for it, in a portrait shape that looks right on a phone. Attach a photo to guide the look. No scrolling through thousands of templates.
Add the names, the date and anything else on top of the design, with a choice of fonts, colors, shadows and glow. What you see in the editor is what lands in your guests’ inboxes.
Every guest gets a personal link by the channel that reaches them. Updates go out the same way, to everyone or just the people who need them.
Guests with a phone number outside the US and Canada get their invitation, updates and sign-in codes on WhatsApp. The guest list marks who is reached that way.
See exactly what a guest sees, then send the real invitation email or text to yourself before anyone else gets it.
When a guest hits Reply on an invitation or update email, it goes to your email address, not a no-reply mailbox.
Invitations can read “The Garcia family invited you” or “Sam and Alex invited you” instead of the name on your account.
Changed the time? Need a headcount? Message guests by email and text from the event page. Send to everyone, or only to those who have not replied, who are attending, or who have not opened the invitation. Updates can go out until two weeks after the event.
Guests with a phone number get their invitation by SMS with their personal RSVP link, and updates the same way. Guests choose whether they want texts for the event, can opt out by replying STOP, and the guest list shows you who has.
Publish, and every guest with an email gets an invitation showing your design and a link to reply. Guests added later are emailed right away, and you can resend to anyone from the guest list.
Guests reply from their link with no account and no app. You see who opened, who answered and how many are coming, as it happens.
Ask guests what you need to know when they reply: meal choice, song requests, allergies, a ride from the station. Free-text or multiple-choice, required or optional. Answers sit on each guest, arrive in your RSVP emails and come along in the guest list export.
Set how many adults and kids each guest may bring, or set one default for the whole event and override it for the few exceptions. The limit shows under the guest’s name and their RSVP form will not accept more.
Give the event a maximum number of attendees. When it is nearly full, guests replying see how many spots remain, and once it is full they are asked to contact you instead.
Turn on RSVP notifications and every answer arrives in your inbox with the guest’s name, their reply, party size and note. Turn it off when the replies are pouring in.
Download a QR code for your public RSVP link as PNG or SVG. Put it on a printed card, a poster or a sign at the door and guests RSVP with their phone camera.
Share a single link in a group chat or print it on a flyer. Anyone who opens it can RSVP with their name and party size, gets their own private invitation link by email, and can change their answer later.
Tap Attending, Maybe, Pending or Declined to see only those guests. Got a reply by phone or in person? Edit the guest and record it, with adults and kids counted separately.
Guests add the event to Google Calendar or Outlook, or download a calendar file, straight from the invitation.
Every guest gets a unique link, so you know who has opened the invitation and who has not, before they even reply. Share any guest’s link yourself from your phone, and it unfurls with a preview when pasted into a chat.
Guests open their invitation with no account and no app, answer yes, no or maybe, say how many adults and kids are coming and leave a note. Your guest list updates the moment they do.
Build the list from your address book, your phone or a spreadsheet, keep it tidy, and take it with you when the event is over.
Group your address book with colored labels like Family, Work or Book club, as many per contact as you like. Label one person or a whole selection at once, filter by one or more labels, then invite the group to your next event in a few clicks.
Find anyone by name, email or phone number, and combine the search with the RSVP filters to answer questions like “which of the Garcias have not replied?”
Download a CSV with every guest’s name, contact details, RSVP status, party size and answers, ready for Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. Handy for seating charts and caterers.
Fill your address book in one go: import from Google Contacts with a preview where you tick who to bring in, pick people from your phone’s contacts on supported browsers, or upload a vCard exported from iPhone or Android.
Every event takes up to 150 guests. Hosting something bigger? Ask, and the limit is raised for your account or for a single event.
Take a guest off the list without losing their details, and bring them back later. An archived guest’s link shows that the invitation is no longer active.
Type guests in one at a time, or paste a whole list: tab-separated columns, “Name <email>” lines copied from your mail app, several emails on one line. Duplicates are skipped, not stumbled over.
Everyone you invite is saved with name, email, phone and notes. Next time, matches appear as you type, or select a group and add them all to an event in one step.
One page holds everything guests need to know, and the people helping you host can manage it with you.
Every published event has a wall. Post an update and choose whether it also goes out by email or text; guests read, post and reply from their invitation. You decide whether guests can post at all, and hosts can remove any post.
The event remembers the time zone it was created in, so the invitation, the calendar file and every reminder show the right time to every guest, wherever they are. Multi-day events show the end date too.
Invite up to 10 co-hosts with a link. They see the event in their own dashboard and can manage guests, edit details and send updates. Publishing and deleting stay with you, and any pending invite link can be revoked.
Give it a few words and get a description to edit, or paste your own text and have it fix the grammar, shorten it, or make it funnier or more formal.
Tell guests what to bring and add a link to your WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal group. Both appear on the invitation.
Your events page lists the invitations you have received alongside the events you host, with your RSVP for each. Save any invitation to your account from its page.
Turn on the reminder and Lemonvite emails you about a month before the anniversary, so next year’s birthday is not a last-minute scramble.
Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduations, holiday parties, anniversaries, housewarmings, celebrations of life and anything else. The occasion shapes the wording, the design suggestions and the templates you are offered.
Date and time, the venue with address lookup and a map link, a link for virtual guests, gift ideas, dress code and a description. Any web address you type becomes a tappable link.
Use a Canva design as your invitation today. Sending straight from Canva’s Share menu is coming soon.
Made your invitation in Canva? Pick Lemonvite from Canva’s Share menu, fill in the event details next to a live preview, and the event is created with your design in place, ready for guests and RSVPs. The Lemonvite app is with Canva for review and appears in the Share menu once approved.
Connect your Canva account from the design editor, browse or search your designs, and use one as the invitation image. Importing is included.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and run the whole thing from a chat.
Connect your assistant to Lemonvite once and plan by chatting: draft the invitation, have the design engine make or edit the artwork, add guests, ask who has not replied, then publish. You approve the connection on a sign-in screen and can disconnect any assistant from Settings.
No passwords to remember, and no data kept longer than it is useful.
Pick the occasion, fill in the details and choose a design before you sign in. Your progress is kept in the browser, and the draft is saved to your account the moment you do.
Events more than 60 weeks past are removed along with their guest lists and images, so your guests’ details do not sit around longer than needed. Delete an event yourself any time before that.
Invitations, updates, reminders and follow-ups are separate categories you can turn off one by one, and the unsubscribe link in each email turns off just that kind. Guests without an account get the same choices.
No password to invent or forget. Use your Google account, get a one-tap sign-in link by email, or enter a six-digit code sent to your phone.
