What you can make here

An animated save the date video for the family group, a days-to-go countdown, a dress-code card for each event and a thank-you note for after. Each one downloads as a looping GIF in HD, 720×1280, the shape WhatsApp status and Instagram stories expect. The backdrop is a painted scene animated into a four second loop that comes back to its own first frame, so it never jumps. Add a photo and your browser illustrates the two of you into it. Every line of text is yours to rewrite.

The GIF is the announcement. When you are ready for the invitation itself, the wedding invitation video paints the two of you into every celebration.

Questions

Is the save the date GIF really free?

Yes. Every GIF on this page is free and carries no Wedyay branding. You only pay if you want a full wedding invitation video, which starts at ₹2,999.

Why a GIF and not a video file?

A GIF plays by itself in a WhatsApp chat, loops without a tap and needs no sound. That is exactly how a save-the-date gets seen in a family group. Drop it in a status or a story and it plays there too. What you download is the backdrop's own four second loop, frame for frame.

What happens to our photo?

It stays on your phone. The illustration is drawn by your own browser, so the photo is never uploaded to us or to anyone else. Remove it and it is gone.

Can I change the words?

All of them. Names, date, city, the little message, even the line at the bottom. Open Edit every word and rewrite anything.

Can I write it in Hindi or Marathi?

Yes, type in any script and it renders. Devanagari falls back to your device’s own typeface rather than the poster’s serif, so those lines look a little different from the English ones.

How is this different from a template app?

A template gives everyone the same design with different names dropped in. These are drawn for the occasion, and the paid invitation goes further: your story, your ceremonies and your own painted illustration, written for the two of you.
