Step 3: Download & Share

Once you're happy with your design, it's time to export! Scroll down to the "Export" section and choose your preferred format:

For Digital Invitations (WhatsApp, Email, Social Media)

  • • Select Instagram Post (1080x1080) for square format
  • • Choose PNG format
  • • Enable transparent background if you want to layer it on photos

For Printed Invitations

  • • Use Custom size with 2x or 3x scale for high quality
  • • Export as PNG or SVG format
  • • Keep background color or use transparent and add your own background in Canva/Photoshop

For Instagram Stories

  • • Visit our Instagram Story page
  • • It's pre-configured with the perfect 9:16 format (1080x1920)
  • • Export with transparent background to overlay on photos

Click the big "Export Image" button, and your invitation will download to your device. Now you can share it via WhatsApp, email, social media, or print it out!

Pro Tips for Perfect Invitations

1. Match Your Party Theme

Choose colors that complement your party decorations. Classic Barbie pink (#FF1493) is always a winner, but don't be afraid to experiment with hot pink, light pink, or even purple for variety.

2. Keep It Readable

For digital invitations sent via messaging apps, use larger font sizes (60px+) and high contrast between text and background. Enable the white stroke effect to ensure text is readable against any background.

3. Save Your Design

Use the "Save Config" button to store your design. This is perfect if you're sending invitations in batches or want to create matching thank you cards later with the same style.

4. Create a Matching Set

Once you save your invitation design, use the same configuration to create matching:

  • • Welcome signs for the party entrance
  • • Thank you cards for after the party
  • • Name tags for party activities
  • • Photo booth props text

5. Test Before Sending

Send a test version to yourself first to check how it looks on different devices. What looks great on a computer might need font size adjustments for mobile viewing.

Can I use these invitations commercially?

The tool is provided for personal use, including personal birthday parties and celebrations. For commercial event planning businesses, please verify the licensing terms of individual fonts used.

What size should I use for printed invitations?

For standard 5x7 inch invitations, export at 1500x2100 pixels with 2x or 3x scale. For 4x6 inch cards, use 1200x1800 pixels. Always export at higher resolution for printing to ensure crisp quality.
