Ayozan vs Canva for Indian wedding invitations
Canva is a brilliant general-purpose design tool — but it was never built for Indian, multilingual, per-guest invitations. Ayozan personalizes one design for every guest in 30+ languages, tracks RSVPs, and shares straight to WhatsApp.

FAQ
Common questions.
- You upload your guest list (name, language, optional details) and Ayozan generates a unique card for each guest — with their name in the right script, in the language they speak. No manual editing per guest. See how it works.
- Ayozan supports 30+ Indian languages including Hindi (हिंदी), Tamil (தமிழ்), Telugu (తెలుగు), Bengali (বাংলা), Marathi (मराठी), Gujarati (ગુજરાતી), Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ), Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ), Malayalam (മലയാളം), Urdu (اردو), Odia (ଓଡ଼ିଆ), Assamese (অসমীয়া), Sanskrit, Sindhi, Konkani, Kashmiri, and more — using AI transliteration so you can type in English and get native script output. Dialects like Bhojpuri, Maithili, Awadhi, Garhwali, Marwari, Haryanvi, and Kashmiri all render through Devanagari or their parent script. Try the live demo.
- Every invitation link has the reply built in. Each family replies for each function — yes, maybe or no, how many are coming and, if you ask, their meals. You see the headcount for every function, the meals for the caterer and who is still to reply, and can export it all to a spreadsheet with dietary notes. No separate RSVP tool needed. See RSVP tracking.
- Yes. Every wedding can have its own website on one private link: the schedule with each function’s venue and dress code, travel and stay, your story, families and photos, gifts and blessings by UPI, and a reply from every family for each function. Start with the website or the invitation, in either order. A birthday, a housewarming or any other event gets one too. See the wedding website.
- Free, currently. The whole flow — design, per-guest personalization, WhatsApp sending — costs nothing during Ayozan's free period. Paid plans begin 1 January 2027 and stay simple; you'll never be charged per card.
- Yes — Ayozan is built for WhatsApp-first sharing. You get per-guest personalized videos, images, and unique links that you can send directly via WhatsApp, or download as PDF for print. See all output formats.

Both invitations and greeting cards. Browse all occasions.

The same design is available as a video (MP4), an image e-card, a print-ready PDF, and a web link, so each guest gets the format that suits them. See all output formats.
- Yes. You can use any Ayozan design as a digital save-the-date — a WhatsApp-ready image, video, or web link announcing your date — and then send the full invitation from the same event later, reusing your guest list. Save-the-dates, e-invites, and greeting cards all work the same personalized way.
- Absolutely. Ayozan is built for the Indian diaspora as much as for families in India. Because invitations are delivered digitally — WhatsApp link, video, image, or PDF — there is nothing to ship, so couples and families in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, and Singapore can create authentic Indian wedding cards, festival greetings, and pooja invitations in 30+ languages and send them to guests anywhere in the world. Pricing shows in your local currency. See pricing.
