Introduction

D(caps)esigning an Indian wedding invitation is a delicate balance of tradition, elegance, and personal style. With the right tools and creativity, you can craft a unique and memorable invitation that reflects the couple's love story. So, As a hobbyist designer I had decide to take up this challenge to deign a wedding card that hold the balance of tradition and add my design essence while crafting the love story of my brother.  In, this blog post, we'll explore how I used #Figma to design a beautiful Indian wedding invitation for my brother.


Figma: The Perfect Tool for Design

Figma is a powerful Web based tool mainly used by UI UX designers. But its vector graphics editor is pretty handy and ideal for designing intricate and detailed graphics like wedding invitations. Though i don't recommend using it for Print ready graphics, but since its my go to tool for mostly every design project that I take. I love to use to Figma to get things done (Okay! call me lazy for that).  Also, We have got the design file printed and the print quality was really good and wasn't much different from the work done on Adobe Illustrator. 


Also, Its collaborative features and ability to work seamlessly across different platforms make it a popular choice among designers. However I would recommend using Adobe Illustrator to design print ready design, if you can.


Color Palette and Mood Board

The first step in designing the invitation was to establish a color palette and mood board. I chose a soft, pastel color scheme with shades of pink, dark shades of blue, accent colour of gold and gradient from shades of red, to create a romantic and elegant atmosphere. The mood board included images of traditional Indian wedding decorations, floral arrangements, and cultural elements that inspired the overall design.

Designing the Invitation

Using Figma's intuitive interface, I crafted a four-panel folding card layout. The front panel featured a delicate floral design, adorned with an illustration of Ganesha, the Hindu god of beginnings, and his mantra, symbolizing the couple's dedication to tradition. Below, I discreetly incorporated the couple's initials and the wedding date, ensuring that the focus remained on the auspicious imagery. To preserve the element of surprise, I used a smaller font size for their names, allowing the essential details to take center stage.

The second page is special and its dedicated to craft a love story of the bride and groom and shares the wedding philosphy followed by a collage of image to share the memory couple had earlier. Which adds a personal touch in overall design of the card.

the third page hold all the important details like coups name, event details, including the venue, time, and RSVP information. The last page hold the information about the family members of the couple along with other details like contact information, full address and requests for the guests


Typography and Fonts

Choosing the right typography is crucial for creating a visually appealing invitation. I selected elegant and traditional Indian fonts that complemented the overall design. The fonts were used for the couple's names, the event details, and the invitation text.

Additional Elements

To enhance the invitation's visual appeal, I incorporated several additional elements:

  • Gradient Accents: Adding gradient accents made of shades of red  to certain elements, such as the couple's names and mantra , created a luxurious and sophisticated look.
  • Embossing: Embossing the invitation's text and designs added a tactile element and made it feel more special.
  • Envelope Design: I designed the card as a Bi fold broacher to save up on the envelop cost and biodegradable, water proof, transparent envelop for the card.

Conclusion

Designing an Indian wedding invitation with Figma was a rewarding and enjoyable experience. By carefully considering the color palette, mood board, typography, and additional elements, I was able to create a unique and beautiful invitation that captured the essence of the couple's love story.

How Banking and UPI Apps Use Behavioural Economics to Encourage Spending: A Journey into the Hidden Side of Finance

Header Image for blog   (toc) #title=(Table of Content)  T(caps) oday, I want to take you on a journey to explore how banking and UPI (Unified Payments Interface) apps might be subtly influencing us to spend more through the principles of behavioural economics. But before we dive into that, let me share the story that inspired this post. Recently, I was working on a problem statement to prepare a case study for a shared wallet concept for PhonePe. The task seemed simple enough: design an app feature where users can add their family members or friends to a shared wallet. Everyone in that wallet could then pay through it, view, and manage their expenses effectively—all while reducing the hassle of manual calculations and stress. As someone living in a remote area, I understand how stressful it can be to manage money efficiently, especially when dealing with everyday expenses. I often use apps like money managers, Split wise, or even WhatsApp groups to record my bills, hoping tha...

Header Image Designing a Modern Resume in Figma: A Fresh Approach to Stand Out If you’re like me, you’ve probably grown tired of seeing the same old, uninspired resumes where candidates simply list their details without much thought to design. While the traditional approach might get the job done, it no longer meets the expectations of today's fast-paced digital world, where capturing attention is more challenging than ever. This is why I decided to take a different approach and design a modern, visually appealing resume using Figma. This isn't just a resume—it's a user-friendly experience that engages the reader and seamlessly connects your paper resume with your digital world. Why Modern Resumes Matter In an age where people’s attention spans are shorter than ever, your resume has to work harder to stand out.
