Create a two-tone red fir invitation

A warm, sociable Christmas invitation

Your friends should not have to guess what to bring, and this card says it plainly. An online Christmas invitation gathers everything guests need in one link, and here that means a single instruction: bring a dish, the wine is taken care of. When they open it they meet a tall fir in two tones of red on a cream card, with “Merry Christmas” in red letters underneath and a dusty pink border around it all. Julia and Rick, the example hosts, invite everyone for Friendsmas, and the closing line asks for a reply by December 19 so they know how big the table needs to be.

Guests read the short deal and tap RSVP. They can leave a note in the guestbook to say what they are cooking, so nobody ends up with duplicate dishes. You send the link through WhatsApp, e-mail, text message or social media, or print a QR code on a note for neighbours and colleagues who are joining the circle for the first time.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to send?

A few minutes. Replace the names, date, time and address, check the preview and share the link with your group.

What do guests see when they open it?

The card with the fir tree, the invitation text, date and time, the address with a map link and the RSVP button. They can save the date in their agenda too.

Is this a formal or a casual invitation?

Casual. The soft colours, the stamped tree and the potluck idea all point to an evening in comfortable clothes, where the host cooks a little and everyone else adds a dish.

Can I use a photo of us instead of the tree?

Yes. Keep the drawing or choose your own picture, as described in the guide on using an illustration instead of a photo. Text and colours are adjustable in the editor as well.

What if more friends want to join?

Share the same link with them. You can also change the details later, and the card on that link shows the latest version.
