A good description for an AI invitation maker has two parts: the facts and the feel. The facts are the occasion, the names, the date and time, the venue and the language. The feel is two or three concrete things you can picture, such as colours, a motif and a mood. Written plainly in a sentence or two, that is usually enough for ShubhLink AI to produce a design worth editing.
The AI invitation maker guide covers the steps. This guide is about the words you type.
The facts: write them the way they should appear
The AI copies names and details from your description, so type them exactly as you want them on the invitation.
- Names with the right spelling and titles. If the card should say “Chi. Rahul” and “Chi. Sau. Priya”, write exactly that.
- Dates in full, with the year: “Saturday, 12 December 2026”.
- Times with AM or PM, or morning and evening: “7:30 pm”, not “7:30”.
- Venue and city: “The Grand Lawn, Vesu, Surat”.
- The language, both in your description and in the language option.
Leave out anything you don't know yet. It's easier to add the reception venue later than to remove a guess the AI filled in.
The feel: describe what you can see
Words like “beautiful”, “elegant” or “premium” don't tell a painter much, because everyone means something different by them. Concrete nouns and colours do.
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| Beautiful and elegant | Ivory background, a thin gold border, pink lotus flowers in the corners |
| Traditional Indian | Pichwai style, cows and lotus ponds, deep green and gold |
| Royal look | Rajasthani palace arches, maroon and gold, a pair of elephants |
| Fun and colourful | Bright marigold and rani pink, mirror-work patterns, playful |
| Simple | Plain cream background, one small Ganesh motif at the top, plenty of space |
Named art styles help: Madhubani, Pichwai, Warli, Kalamkari, Mughal miniature, watercolour. So do objects that belong to the occasion: marigolds for a haldi, a garbo and dandiya sticks for Navratri, a cradle for a naming ceremony, a kalash and mango leaves for a griha pravesh. The colour combinations guide has palettes by occasion if you'd like a starting point.
Good descriptions, from short to detailed
All three of these are made-up examples, and all three would work. More detail gives the AI less to guess.

Pichwai style with lotuses and cows, deep green and antique gold.
Adding an image
You can add an image in the create box and say in your own words what it's for. The AI reads the image and your words together and decides how to use it. The most common reasons are:
- Following a look. “Make it in the style of this card”, when you've seen a design you like.
- Using its wording. “Use the text from this photo of our printed card”, when the words already exist on paper.
- Showing the photo. “Put this photo of the couple on the first page.”
Only use photos you have the right to use, with the permission of the people in them.
Asking for changes in the chat
After the first design, the chat works best with clear, specific requests.
- One change per message: “make the names bigger”, then “change the border to gold”, rather than both at once.
- Name the page: “on page two, move the venue lower”.
- Say what you like as well as what you don't: “keep the colours, but make the flowers smaller”.
- For a small text fix, such as a spelling or a time, the editor is quicker and free.
Common mistakes
- Several events in one description. Make one design per event, then another for the next function.
- Contradictions, like “minimal and grand” or “pastel and deep red”. Pick one direction.
- Long lists of adjectives instead of things you can picture.
- Names typed casually, in lower case or with shortcuts, which then appear that way on the card.
- Not checking the Hindi or Gujarati. Always have someone fluent read it before sharing.

Questions people ask
How long should my description be?
Two or three sentences is usually enough: the facts first, then two or three things you can picture about the look. Longer descriptions help when the invitation has several pages.
Should I type names in Hindi or Gujarati script?
For a Hindi or Gujarati invitation, typing the names in that script is the surest way to get the spelling you want. Typed in English, they have to be transliterated, and that is where spelling slips creep in.
Why did the AI leave out something I asked for?
Usually because the description had several requests at once, or two that contradicted each other. Ask for it again in the chat as a single, clear request.
Does a longer description cost more credits?
No. Credits depend on what is made, such as the number of pages, not on how long your description is.
