The first step to creating invitations for your next event is to make sure you have a great design. Canva offers a variety of invitation templates that you can customize with your own text, images, logos, and more.
You’re not just limited to the basics; tap into a vast library stocked with thousands of images, fonts, and illustrations. Once your design’s locked in, you’re all set to send out your e-invites in bulk.
This can be done in 3 easy steps:
Creating e-invites in Canva is great, but sending them individually via SMS or email is another story; it’s a hassle that requires a separate tool. That’s where Activity Messenger shines, as it’s fully integrated with Canva.
Stick to Canva for your design needs, but let Activity Messenger take over when it comes to the nitty-gritty of emailing or texting your invitations to guests. With Activity Messenger, you can
📌 Pro Tip: Make sure to leave blank spaces where you want personalized details to appear. These are spots for the mail merge tags.
Crafting invitations is a breeze with Canva, but what about personalizing and distributing those invitations to your guests? That’s where Activity Messenger steps in, seamlessly bridging the gap between design and distribution.
With the power of mail merge or dynamic placeholders, you can effortlessly fill in the necessary recipient details using Activity Messenger.
Mailmerge options include
Canva doesn’t offer an option to add a RSVP link to invitations. You have to use a separate tool, which makes the invitation process time-consuming. That is, unless you work with the Canva & Activity Messenger integration.
Simply add a “Count Me In” button to your invitation email/SMS. This button will add people to your guest list, but it can also serve multiple purposes.
Once clicked, it can open a digital waiver form, a menu for food preferences, or even a payment gateway for ticket purchases.
Beyond waivers, use this section to collect any other details you may need. Think dietary restrictions, T-shirt sizes for event merchandise, or seating preferences.
Once someone confirms their attendance from the RSVP fom, they’re automatically added to your guest list within Activity Messenger.
This is invaluable for real-time tracking and planning logistics like seating arrangements or food quantities.
You can also communicate important information & automate reminders using the mobile guest list.
Activity Messenger doesn’t limit you to just email. You have the flexibility to send via SMS or use both channels to maximize reach. If your event is a recurring one, you can schedule these invites to go out at regular intervals.
No need to set reminders for yourself.
Activity Messenger also allows you to streamline online party booking for your kids activity center.
After filling out the booking form and paying the deposit, the parent who arranged the party will receive a special party invitation email to forward to their guests.
This email isn’t just a generic invitation; it’s pre-populated with important details like the birthday child’s name and the date and time of the party.
Create branded party invitations through Canva & include the child’s name, the theme of the party, and any other unique elements that make the event special.
The end result is a personalized invitation that will get everyone excited for the big day.
Event invitations can serve a dual purpose: not only do they set the stage for a memorable event, but they can also serve as a marketing tool.
When you or you client sends out branded bulk invites, you’re enhancing the attendee experience while subtly advertising your services.
Prompt your invitees to share their invites on social media. Don’t underestimate the power of a shareable invitation. Every time someone gets excited about your upcoming event and shares it, you’re broadening your brand’s reach significantly.
Design an invite that people will be thrilled to show off and spark engagement by holding a contest—perhaps offering a chance to win a VIP experience if they share the invite on social media and tag your organization.
Make your e-invite process easier using Activity Messenger’s integration with Canva! No need to manually create multiple versions of invitations – all you have to do is design, personalize and send out invitations by email or SMS.
You’ll be able to customize countless batches of personalized invitations quickly & with minimal effort.
