Before the feast, an invitation.Before the celebration, an invitation.Before every gathering people still talk about years later, someone took the trouble to ask:who do we want beside us?In Arabic, da‘wah — invitation — and du‘a — prayer — grow from the same root.Both are a call sent out in the hope of an answer.We don’t send links.We carry your call to the people it was meant for, dressed as they deserve.We guard their names the way a trust is guarded.And we bring you back the answer.

قبل الوليمة… دعوة. قبل الزفّة… دعوة. قبل كل لمّةٍ يذكرها الناس سنين، كان هناك من تكلّف وسأل: مَن نُحبّ أن يكون معنا؟ في لغتنا، الدعوةُ والدعاءُ من جذرٍ واحد. كلاهما نداءٌ يُرسَل على أملِ أن يُجاب. نحن لا نُرسل روابط. نحمل نداءك إلى أهله كما يليق بهم، ونحفظ أسماءهم كما تُحفظ الأمانة، ونعيد إليك الجواب.

01

Don't type 400 names by hand

Pick your guests straight from your contacts — by group or by name. Only the numbers you choose ever reach us; the rest stay on your phone.

An invitation is a trust
02

An invitation cut to your measure

Choose a ready design, or ask for bespoke: a design and a message written for your occasion alone — the family name, the phrase you use, the colour people know you by.

Two designs within 3 working days
03

You see who received it — by name

Send on WhatsApp and watch each guest's status by name — delivered, read, replied — not one grey tick. Guests can reply right in the chat, and their messages come back to you inside Dawati.

No grey ticks, real status
04

Know the number before you call the caterer

Every reply lands with you as it comes. Nudge the ones who haven't answered in a tap, and hand the venue a clean list. Nothing over-ordered into the bin, nothing short in front of your guests.

A number you can trust
05

It doesn't end with the last guest

The photographer records the ceremony; your guests record the gathering. Open the event album, let them share their photos, and you decide what appears — invite-only, never a public link.

The memory stays
Bespoke

Cut to your measure — the way you'd have a thobe tailored

No two events are the same. Ask for a design and a message written for your occasion alone: the family name, the phrase you use, the colour people know you by. Two designs back within three working days, and two rounds of changes.

THE TEMPLATES

A design for every occasion.

Curated by designers, ready in Arabic and English — or start from a blank canvas.

See all templates

Every gathering deserves an invitation

From a six-hundred-guest wedding to the monthly rotation with your friends.

The dorīya — every month, not once in a lifetime

A wedding happens once; a dorīya happens twelve times a year. Set the invitation up once, send it each month in a tap — and know who's in before you book the place.

Condolences — with care

Condolences run in a mode of their own: no seal, no festive colour, no attendance counter. Ink on warm paper, in classical Arabic that suits the occasion.

Privacy

Your list stays yours. Your photographs stay theirs.

  • A private link per guest that can't be forwarded.
  • Separate details for the men's and women's sections.
  • The guest list is visible to the host alone.
  • The album is invite-only, never a public link.
  • And from your contacts, only the numbers you choose ever reach us — the rest stay with you.

Frequently asked questions

Does a guest need to download an app?

No. Guests open the link and RSVP right from their phone — no download, no sign-up.

How do I know my invitation was delivered?

You see every guest's status by name — delivered, read, and whether they replied — so you're never guessing. For anyone who isn't on WhatsApp, you can share their private invitation link directly.

Can I send different details to the men's and women's sections?

Yes. Set each section's place and time, and every guest sees only the details meant for them.

Who can see the guest list?

You alone, and anyone you grant access. Guests never see the other guests or the counts.

Do you get all my contacts?

No. Only the numbers you choose for the invitation ever reach us; the rest stay on your phone.

Can you make a custom design for my event?

Yes — ask for Bespoke. Two designs back within three working days, with two rounds of changes.

What happens to the album photos after the event?

The album stays open to you and your guests for 14 days after the event, and you can download everything during that window. After that the photos are permanently deleted from our side — your photographs are not our archive.

Can I use it for condolences?

Yes, in a dedicated mode: no festive colours, no attendance counter, and classical Arabic that suits the occasion.

How long does it take to get my invitation ready?

From ready designs: minutes. Bespoke: three working days.

Received an invitation?

Look it up by your phone number and RSVP in seconds.
