How to use your Canva design with Ainviter

Already made an invitation in Canva? Add RSVP tracking, a shareable link, SMS, and a QR code — without redesigning from scratch.

To use a Canva design with Ainviter: (1) install the Ainviter Canva add-on and build inside Canva, or (2) upload your Canva export as a style reference in Ainviter's chat. Ainviter creates a matching invitation with a live RSVP page, QR code, and guest dashboard.

Three ways to use your Canva design

You spent time in Canva getting the colors, fonts, and layout perfect. You should not have to throw that away to collect RSVPs.

Option A: Open the Ainviter add-on inside Canva and publish directly from your workspace. Option B: Export your Canva design and upload it to Ainviter as a style reference — the AI recreates the look with RSVP built in. Option C: Place Ainviter's RSVP QR code or link onto your existing Canva PDF before printing.

All three paths give guests a way to respond online while you track answers in real time.
