Designs
A design for every occasion
From church weddings to Friday beers, every occasion comes with its own designs, wording, music and RSVP options. Each one opens like a gift and plays like a film.
Why Pigeon Invites
Paper cards are lovely. Chasing replies isn’t.
Printed invitations cost a small fortune and can’t tell you who’s coming. Group chats bury the details, and spreadsheets leave the counting to you. Pigeon Invites keeps the magic and takes away the admin.

How it works
Everything between “You’re invited” and “Thank you for coming”
Pigeon Invites doesn’t stop at the invitation. It’s with you from the first idea to the last photo, so the run-up feels as good as the day itself.
1Weeks before
Design it in minutes. Make it unmistakably yours.
Pick a design made for your occasion, add the date, the venue and a few warm words, and watch the live preview come together.
- Your colours, fonts and cover photo, or your brand’s logo
- An opening to remember: an envelope, a gift box, a bottle cap, shutters or elevator doors
- Music for every mood, from Pachelbel’s Canon to late-night swing
2The run-up
Send it anywhere. Watch the answers roll in.
Email everyone in one tap, send personal links on WhatsApp, or drop an open link and QR code into the group chat. Every answer lands in your live guest list, and you hear about it the moment it does.
- Party size, plus-ones, menu choices, dietary needs and your own questions
- Automatic reminders three days before your RSVP deadline
- A “see you tomorrow” email the day before, for everyone coming
3On the day
Put it on the big screen. Fill the album together.
Show the invitation on any smart TV, lobby screen or projector with a six-character code. It loops with a QR code to RSVP, and once the party starts it asks for photos instead, then shows them as they arrive.
- Two hours before the start, the invitation turns into a shared photo album
- Guests add photos straight from their phones, with no app and no sign-up
- Videos for Instagram Stories, TikTok, WhatsApp Status and USB-only TVs
4After the party
Say thank you. Then do it all again.
Post a thank-you note on the invitation and email it to everyone who came, with every photo one tap away. For birthdays and Christmas parties, Pigeon Invites reminds you three weeks before next year’s date and sets the invitation up again.
- One album with everyone’s photos, instead of fifty chat threads
- Your guest list, exported whenever you need it
- “Plan it again” copies an event to next year, with or without the guests
For venues, galleries & teams
Hosting every week? Fill every night.
Bars, restaurants, hotels, galleries and companies get the same beautiful invitations, plus everything it takes to run bookings week after week.
- One link for all your events
- A public page with everything coming up, each with a Book, Register or RSVP button. Put it in your bio, on your website or on the menu.
- On-brand without trying
- Save your logo, colours and fonts once. New invitations start with your logo, your colours are a tap away, and screens, videos and emails follow suit.
- Bookings that manage themselves
- Set the number of places and guests see how many are left. When it’s full, a waitlist opens and moves up on its own.
- Sell the next night from the room
- Loop your next event on the lobby screen with a QR code to book, or download it as a video for your socials.
About Pigeon Invites
The invitation is the first moment of your event
We think the run-up to a celebration should feel like part of it, not a week of spreadsheets, envelopes and “did you get my message?”.
So Pigeon Invites brings it all together: an invitation your guests can’t wait to open, a guest list that keeps itself up to date, and the screens and photos that make the day feel shared. Made for phones first, and for every kind of host, from a first birthday to a hotel gala.
You look after your guests. We’ll look after the rest.
No app, no account, no fuss
Guests open their invitation in any browser, on any phone, and answer in seconds.
Music that just works
Every tune, from Pachelbel’s Canon to an original bossa nova, plays live in the invitation. No audio files, nothing to license.
Kind to every guest
With reduced motion turned on, the film becomes calm still slides, and the music is always one tap from mute.
Ready in about five minutes
Every design comes with wording and RSVP options for its occasion, so you only fill in what’s yours.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What hosts usually ask before their first invitation. Still wondering? Design your invitation and see it for yourself before you pay.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. Every guest gets a personal link that opens in any browser. They can answer, add the date to their calendar and get directions without signing up for anything.
How do I send the invitations?
However your guests like to hear from you. Email everyone in one tap, send personal links on WhatsApp or anywhere else, or share one open link and QR code in a group chat or on printed cards.
Can guests bring a plus-one or the kids?
Yes. Set a party size for each invitation, and guests add their companions’ names and dietary needs when they answer, plus a menu choice if you ask for one.
Can guests change their answer?
Yes, right up to your RSVP deadline. Your guest list updates the moment they do.
What if the event fills up?
Set a maximum number of places and guests see how many are left. When it’s full, they can join a waitlist, and if someone drops out, the next in line moves up and gets an email.
Can I change the details after sending?
Of course. Change the time, the venue or the programme whenever you need to, and every invitation link shows the latest version.
How does the TV display work?
Open pigeoninvites.com/tv in the browser of any smart TV, lobby screen or projector and type your event’s six-character code. No browser on the TV? Download the video and play it from a USB stick.
How much does it cost?
£25 per event, paid once: unlimited guests and everything for the day itself, with no subscription. Hosting every week? Business is £16 a month billed yearly, or £20 month to month, for unlimited events. You design your invitation first and pay when you send it.
Your perfect event starts with one link
Create your invitation in about five minutes and pay once, when it’s ready to send. Your guests will love it.
