Overview
DawatEra is "the new era of invitations": animated digital invitations and greeting cards for Eid, Diwali, Holi, weddings, Lunar New Year, Nowruz, birthdays and more. Hosts design an invitation from a template, share one link on WhatsApp, and guests open it in the browser to see the animation, RSVP, find the venue on a map and follow a countdown, without installing anything or signing up.
The challenge
Invitations in South Asia are shared on WhatsApp, but most digital invitation tools are designed for Western events, need guests to sign up, or produce static images that can't collect RSVPs.
My approach
I built DawatEra as a fast multi-page React app on Cloudflare Pages and Workers, with D1 for data and R2 for media. Each invitation is a lightweight page that loads quickly on mobile data, with festival-specific templates and typography for Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and Chinese scripts, and RSVPs flow back to the host in real time.
