Greenvelope offers artist-designed Diwali party invitation templates that you can personalize online and send by email or text in supported countries, with built-in RSVP tracking. For a bright, colorful card, start with Diwali Medallion or Happy Diwali. For a shimmering night-sky look, start with Diwali Starburst or Diwali Fireworks.
Each template below is a finished design rather than a blank layout: you replace the sample wording with your own details, choose from the colorways the artist offers, and send it as a digital invitation. Guests can open it on a phone, tablet, or computer and RSVP without creating an account. You can include an animated envelope, and the invitation experience is ad-free. This guide features five templates from Greenvelope's Diwali invitation collection, grouped into bright and colorful cards and shimmering night-sky cards. Diwali is observed by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists, with traditions that differ by family and region, and in 2026 it falls on Sunday, November 8. The templates suit a family dinner, a party with friends, a community celebration, or an office gathering during the festival.
About the images: each shows one sample colorway with sample wording. Gold and foil effects are digital, not printed finishes.

Bright and Colorful Diwali Invitation Templates
For a daytime or family celebration, Greenvelope's bright Diwali templates use pink, marigold yellow, and red, with traditional motifs such as a medallion, paisleys, and diyas.
1. Diwali Medallion: A gold-effect medallion on a bright card
Diwali Medallion by Signature Greenvelope.
An ornate medallion in a gold effect, with orange and purple accents, sits above script "Diwali" lettering and uppercase details on a hot pink card. Signature Greenvelope offers it in pink, blue, and yellow, with a matching stamp and headers; the foil is a digital effect.
Make it your own: Put the dinner or party line above the Diwali script and keep the details short underneath it, as in the sample. New Century Schoolbook and Mina Bold are editable.
2. Happy Diwali: Henna-style paisleys and three diyas
Happy Diwali by Signature Greenvelope.
Three paisley shapes in red, teal, and yellow, patterned like henna, fill the top of a white card above "Happy Diwali" in pink lettering, with three small diya lamps at the bottom. Signature Greenvelope offers it in red, purple, yellow, and blue. We like it for a family dinner with children on the list.
Make it your own: Use the lines under the greeting for the host, date, time, and address, and put the reply date last. Function Pro Book is editable.
3. Diwali Blooms: Oversized lettering and scattered blooms
Diwali Blooms by Signature Greenvelope.
Oversized "Happy Diwali" lettering in pink with a gold-effect outline fills a marigold yellow landscape card, with pink and orange blooms scattered around it. Signature Greenvelope offers it in yellow, creme, green, and pink; the gold outline is a digital effect.
Make it your own: The headline carries the greeting, so a short invitation line such as "join us for a Diwali dinner" is enough. Sackers and Snell Roundhand are editable.
Shimmering Night-Sky Diwali Invitation Templates
For an evening party, Greenvelope's dark Diwali templates put a gold effect on black or purple, echoing diyas, sparklers, and fireworks after sundown.
4. Diwali Starburst: A shimmering starburst on a square card
Diwali Starburst by Luly Yang.
A starburst of dotted gold-effect rays radiates from the words "diwali celebration" in the center of a black square card. Luly Yang describes a twinkling foiled pattern, rendered digitally, reminiscent of the fireworks and candles of Diwali, and the design comes in black, orange, purple, pink, and red.
Make it your own: The square layout suits a short, centered block: host, date and time, address, and a reply line. New Century Schoolbook and Scotch Display are editable.
5. Diwali Fireworks: Line-drawn fireworks on a night sky
Diwali Fireworks by Signature Greenvelope.
Fine line-drawn fireworks and starbursts in a gold effect scatter across a purple card around spaced uppercase "Happy Diwali" lettering. Signature Greenvelope offers it in three colorways: a navy sky in blue, a traditional pink, and the purple shown here.
Make it your own: Its restrained lettering suits an office or community party, so lead with the organization or team name. Rama Gothic is editable.

How to Personalize and Send a Digital Diwali Party Invitation
Greenvelope lets you personalize editable wording, fonts, and text placement, and choose from the preset colorways available for your selected design. Customization options vary by design. Lettering drawn into the artwork stays as designed; for changes to the card face itself, such as a color change, Greenvelope offers optional paid custom design services.
Whatever the design, include the host, the date, the arrival time and when the main moments happen (dinner, the lighting of diyas, sparklers, or a puja if your family holds one), the address, who is invited, what to bring or wear, and a reply date. Guests who are new to Diwali appreciate one line about what to expect, such as "Festive attire welcome, and we'll light the diyas at 6." Our holiday party invitation wording guide and dinner party invitation wording guide have complete examples to adapt. A complete invitation can be as short as this:
Join us for a Diwali dinner
Hosted by [host names]
[Day, Month Date, Year] at [time]
[Street address], [City, State]
Festive attire welcome; we'll light the diyas at [time].
Please RSVP on this invitation by [reply-by date].
Guests answer yes or no on the invitation, and you can add custom questions to the RSVP, such as a dietary question or a write-in question like "If you're attending, which sweet or dish will you bring?" Questions appear after guests select an RSVP response. Responses collect on your guest list, and you can send or schedule RSVP reminder emails to guests who have not replied. For phone-only guests, use the Message Center on a paid account to send a text in supported countries, or send a personal text asking them to reply on the invitation.
Before sending or scheduling, preview the invitation, send yourself a test, read it on a phone, confirm the guest list and reply-to address, and test the links and calendar details. You can send by email or by text message in supported countries. In the Send step, Send Invitations sends right away to the contacts you select, while Schedule Send sends at your chosen date and time to all unsent contacts, including contacts added after scheduling. You can edit the card for up to five months after sending, and existing invitation links display the updated card. If the date, time, or location changes, also message guests directly.
As a planning guideline, send Diwali party invitations 4 to 6 weeks ahead, as for other holiday-season parties. Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, November 8. Choose the date of your gathering and write it in full on the invitation. If the festival is already close, send as soon as you can and keep the reply window short. Set the reply date a few days before the earliest final-count deadline if you have a caterer or venue, or early enough to follow up before you shop if you are cooking. Our timing guide has planning windows for common celebrations.
Designs are included with the mailing: single mailings start at $19 for a guest list of up to 20 people, with pricing based on list size and no subscription required. Paid accounts start with 500 text messages, with more available to purchase. Our guide to what Greenvelope costs explains single-mailing plans and annual memberships, and a trial send to up to 10 people needs no credit card.
