5 Digital Invitation Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

Blurry exports, cluttered layouts, wrong dates — avoid the errors we see most often and ship invites you are proud of.

Digital invitations are forgiving — you can edit and resend — but first impressions still matter. Here are five mistakes we see constantly, plus quick fixes you can apply in the Kaagaz editor before you hit share.

1. Too many fonts and colors

Rainbow text looked fun in 2009. Today it reads chaotic. Stick to two fonts and a tight palette pulled from your template. Use color only to highlight the date or venue, not every line.

2. Forgetting AM/PM or the year

A beautiful card with "6:30" and no AM/PM starts a family debate. Always include time zone context if guests are in different cities, and double-check the year on save-the-dates.

3. Low-resolution photos

A pixelated couple photo undermines an otherwise polished design. Upload the largest clear image you have; let Kaagaz scale it down. If it looks soft in the editor, replace it before export.
