A wedding invitation in Kiswahili
Adapt the hosts and the formality to your family’s preference. Check that the time of day is clear to everyone receiving the invitation.

A send-off or kitchen party invitation
Name the specific occasion so guests do not confuse it with the wedding. Add a confirmed theme or dress-code note separately if needed.

A birthday invitation that is easy to answer
For a family birthday, keep the invitation warm and specific. Explain whether the invitation includes companions instead of leaving guests to guess.
You’re invited to celebrate [Name]’s birthday! Join us on [date] at [time], [venue and area]. Please reply by [date] using your invitation link so we can plan for you. [Optional confirmed theme or companion details.]
A short SMS with a clear next step
The message should identify the host and occasion, then point to the personal invitation. Use the portal’s guest and link fields as provided rather than sending the same guest link to everyone.
Sample: “[Host] invites you to [occasion] on [date]. Open your personal invitation to see the details and RSVP: [personal invitation link].” Preview names and links, check the credit estimate, and test with a consenting recipient before the full campaign.
