One of the best things about our designs is that they’re fully customizable (and seriously gorgeous). Whether you want to upload your own design or tailor one of ours, every invitation can transform to match both your personal style and your particular event. Most of our designs are versatile enough to work for more than one type of event, so don’t shy away from exploring multiple design categories. In fact, most of our designs contain header text that can be easily customized with verbiage that reflects your event. So whether you’re planning a dinner party, bridal shower, or corporate event, keep in mind that many of our designs can be used beyond their listed categories.
