What your guests see after the lantern opens

Deep violet, dusky rose and lantern amber, like the sky in the last minutes of the day. Your names wait under a paper lantern; your photos light up in the glow of rising lanterns.

Home
Your portrait and names on a rice-paper card in the dusk sky, then the invitation, a countdown and calendar links, with a few lanterns drifting up as guests scroll.
Our Story
Three photos along a path of lanterns: each waits in the dark until a small lantern rises past it and its light opens the photo.
Details
The evening hour by hour, each line with a small lantern that lights up in turn, a venue photo, an optional map and directions, calendar links, dress code and questions and answers.
RSVP
A reply panel under a warm lantern glow; when a reply is sent, one lantern rises up the screen.

The opening

How Sky Lantern Festival opens

Your guests tap the lantern. It glows warm in the cupped hands, the hands let go and the lantern rises into the dusk sky while distant lanterns drift up behind it. In its light a rice-paper card with your photo appears and opens into your home page.

Questions about Sky Lantern Festival

Can I change the colors of Sky Lantern Festival?

No. The artwork, colors and fonts stay as designed, because the lantern, 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.
