What your guests see after the dome opens

Midnight blue, silver-ivory chart paper, antique brass and gold leaf, like the pages of an old star atlas. Your invitation waits inside a small observatory, and every photo sits in a round star-map frame.

Home
Your round portrait and names on a chart-paper card under the night sky, then the invitation, a countdown, calendar links and your initials traced again as a constellation.
Our Story
Three round photos, each uncovered by a sweep that turns once round it like a star dial as guests scroll to it.
Details
The order of the day on chart paper, a venue photo swept in like the beam of a telescope, an optional map, dress code, travel and questions and answers.
RSVP
A chart-paper reply card under the midnight sky with your names and reply-by date, then the reply form.

The opening

How Celestial Observatory opens

Your guests tap the dome. The two halves of its slit shutter slide apart onto the night sky, a soft light rises from it, and a fine constellation line traces your initials above it. The card with your portrait rises out of the dome and comes forward to become your home page.

Questions about Celestial Observatory

Can I change the colors of Celestial Observatory?

No. The artwork, colors and fonts stay as designed, because the dome, cards and frames are painted to match. You change the content: names, details, photos and questions. See all designs to compare palettes.

How many photos can I add?

5: a portrait on the invitation card, 3 photos for Our Story and one of the venue. You crop each one to its frame in the panel, on your phone. Our Story can be switched off if you prefer fewer photos.

Does it work without photos?

Yes. Until you add your own, each photo spot shows a soft, neutral image made from the design's artwork, never a sample couple. The "Your photo here" label is only visible to you in preview, not to guests.

Is there a matching save the date?

Not yet. You can share your website link early, as a digital save the date, and add the full details later: guests always see the latest version. Read about timing.
