Design your invitation card

Every guest receives their own copy of your card, with their name and a personal check-in QR code filled in automatically. You design it once in the card editor.

Open the card editor

Open your event and tap the Card tab. The editor opens with your event name at the top, a toolbar, the card in the middle and your tools on the left. On a phone, the tools sit in a bar at the bottom.

The tool tabs are Design, Photos, Text and Elements. When you select something on the card, an Edit tab appears for it, and Layers lists everything on the card.

Choose a design or upload your own

On the Design tab you have two ways to start:

• Shereko presets: browse ready-made designs. Use the search box ("wedding, gold, floral…") and the filters to narrow them, then tap one to preview it and tap Use this design. Applying a design replaces your current card, but you can undo it.
• Upload your image: already have a card from a designer? Upload it. Shereko starts fresh with the event name and the check-in QR on top of your picture; add any other details you need from Text.

Add text, guest names and photos

1. Text: tap Add text, then type on the card or in the side panel. Use Insert variable to add details that change per guest or event, such as Guest name, Ticket type, Hosts, Date, Time or Venue.
2. Fonts and style: select a line of text and use the bar above the card to change its font, size, style and alignment. Fonts opens a gallery grouped into Script, Serif, Sans serif and Playful.
3. Photos: on the Photos tab, tap Add photo or one of Your uploads. Drag the corners to resize, the sides to crop, and the ring to rotate.
4. Frames: on the Elements tab, tap a shape to add a photo frame, then put a photo inside it.
5. Remove background: select a photo of a person and tap Remove background to cut them out. It's free, runs on your device and never uploads the photo. The first time downloads the tool (about 17 MB).

Use Layers to see every item, change what sits in front, or delete one. Undo and Redo sit in the middle of the top bar.

Keep the check-in QR clear

The Check-in code on the card is unique for every guest; door staff scan it at the entrance. Select it to move it and set its QR size. Keep it away from text and busy photos so it scans quickly. See Check-in.

Preview, save and test

• Preview: tap the eye button to switch between placeholders and real text. Open the arrow beside it and choose a guest to see how their name fits. Long names are worth checking.
• Saving: the editor saves automatically. The status next to the event name shows Saving… then Saved. If you see Save failed, check your connection before leaving.
• Download PNG: saves an image of the card to your device. Downloading doesn't send anything.
• Test: sends the card to your own WhatsApp so you can see exactly what guests get. The number on the button shows how many free tests you have left; after that, tests are charged to your wallet.

When it looks right, tap Send card at the top right to choose the WhatsApp message and review the cost. See Send invitations.

FAQ

Can I change the card after sending some invitations?

Yes. Edit and save as usual. Guests who already received the card keep the old version; anyone you send to afterwards gets the new one.

Why does a guest's name look cut off?

Some names are longer than the example. Preview with your longest guest name and widen the text box or reduce the font size.

Can some guests get a different design?

With contributions turned on, you can set tiers that send a special card design when a guest pays a set amount or more. The guest's card type (for example VIP) can also be printed on the card using the Ticket type variable. See Contributions and Add guests.

Does designing the card cost anything?

No. Designing, previewing and downloading are free. You pay only when you send. See pricing.
