An invitation that looks like it took you all evening, made in the time of a text message. TYPE ONE SENTENCE "Enzo turns 40, Tuesday 6 October at 8pm at Café De Ceuvel." Soirly picks out the date, the time and the place and puts each in its right spot on the card. Everything stays editable by hand afterwards. 58 DESIGNS, EIGHT COLLECTIONS Birthday, kids' party, wedding, Christmas, drinks, anniversary, save the date and animals. Every design is drawn by hand and comes in three colour palettes. Your own photo can go on it. SEND IT AS A FILM Alongside an image, Soirly makes a short film: an envelope opening, the card sliding out, and at the end it fills the screen so the small print is readable. Ready to drop into a group chat. KEEP TRACK OF WHO'S COMING A guest list showing who said yes, who said no and who hasn't answered, with a ready-made nudge for the stragglers. Your guests don't have to install anything. Two buttons travel with the card: your guest taps Yes or No, and the reply is already written in WhatsApp or Messages. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no server, no analytics. Your cards, your photos and your guest list live on this phone only, and leave it only when you share them yourself. BUILT FOR EVERYONE 31 languages. Fully usable with VoiceOver, and every piece of text grows with your device's text size.
