Why animated
What an animated invitation adds
Motion gets attention in a crowded inbox or chat. TwistInvite pairs it with the practical part: replies.
- It feels like an occasion: an animated template sets the mood before guests read a word.
- It’s personal: add a short video message from you (up to 15 seconds on the free plan).
- It’s easy to open: guests open one link in their browser, with no app or account.
- It collects answers: guests RSVP on the invitation, and you follow responses with RSVP tracking.
- It travels well: share by SMS or paste the link into any chat or email.
- It speaks your language: the TwistInvite app interface is available in 19 languages.
Make it yours
Making an animated invitation in the app
Every TwistInvite invitation starts from an animated template. You create and edit it in the TwistInvite app, so download or open the app on your phone when you’re ready to personalize.
Add the essentials: what you’re celebrating, who is hosting, date, time and place. Write your note in your own voice, and set an RSVP date so guests know when to reply.
Preview the invitation, then share it by SMS or copy the link. Guests open it in their browser, watch the animation and RSVP. For a broader walkthrough, see the video invitation maker or video invitations with RSVP.
