What Arabic and French families each get
A language switch, Arabic right to left
Guests tap عر or FR; the Arabic edition turns right to left in its own typeface, so it is never squeezed into a Latin layout.
See it →A separate Arabic text for every row
Schedule rows and locations keep a French text and an Arabic text, so the program reads natively in both editions.
RSVP in Arabic and in French
The Arabic RSVP translates everything, halal and allergy options included. On the French edition the dietary option labels show in English, while the rest of the form is translated; meal names show as you type them.
See it →One guest list for both sides
Replies from the Arabic and the French editions arrive in the same list, with names and party size for every household.
Edits live, one map and one song
Change a time after sending and both editions update on the same link; the venue pin and the song are shared by both.

Designs for an Arabic and French invitation
How does an Arabic and French invitation work?
Start in Arabic and the editor opens in Arabic with an Arabic invitation; add French from the languages picker. Built-in text, such as section headings, countdown and RSVP questions, exists in both languages, and each line you write has an Arabic and a French version. The Arabic edition is set right to left automatically, with its own typeface, so the couple's names and the opening blessing sit naturally.
This pair is fully served: French uses the main text slot and Arabic its own, so even schedule rows and extra locations carry a French title and an Arabic title. Guests see the language you set first and switch with one tap, which suits a family in Lyon, Montreal or London where parents read Arabic and the younger generation reads French. You publish once, and both editions go live together.
What does each language cost?
The invitation is $89 once, with the first language, unlimited guests, the RSVP form and the envelope included. French or Arabic as the second language is $10, making the pair $89 plus $10. If English-speaking friends are coming, English is one more $10. Nothing is charged per guest, so a guest list that grows with both extended families costs the same, and the right-to-left Arabic setting needs no extra fee.
You can build the Arabic and French editions for free and share the free invitation with your first 10 guests before paying, so a parent can check the Arabic and a cousin the French before anyone else sees it. The editor shows each language add-on in your currency, and the invitation stays online through your wedding date and at least 90 days after.
How does Arabic and French wedding wording differ?
Arabic invitations usually open with the Bismillah, often followed by a Quranic verse about marriage, then name the families who invite the guest, with the couple after them. Maghrebi invitations differ from Gulf ones: families are named as 'the Benali and Haddad families', the French is often the main text, and Moroccan or Algerian wording differs from the Gulf phrasing 'يتشرف … بدعوتكم'. Choose the register your parents would recognize. An Arabic-first draft of a Khaleeji design starts with the Bismillah at the top; keep it, replace it with your own line or remove it.
The French edition follows the faire-part: the families have the pleasure of inviting you to the marriage of their children, written with vous. Some families also translate the Bismillah into French ('Au nom de Dieu, le Clément, le Miséricordieux'); others keep it in Arabic only. Each edition is written separately, so the Arabic can keep its blessing and the French its formal announcement.
- ✦بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
- ✦تتشرف عائلتا بن علي وحداد بدعوتكم لحضور حفل زفاف ياسمين وكريم
- ✦Français : « Les familles Benali et Haddad ont l'honneur de vous convier au mariage de leurs enfants Yasmine et Karim »
- ✦Français : « Au nom de Dieu, le Clément, le Miséricordieux »
Can we add English as a third language?
Yes. English becomes a third edition at the same add-on price, and every line you write gets its own English text. One limit to know before you publish: schedule rows and extra locations keep one Latin-script text and one Arabic text, so English and French share the row titles. Write those rows in both, 'Mariage civil · Civil ceremony', and the Arabic rows stay fully Arabic.
The designs here include Arabic-first Khaleeji designs with Gulf motifs, and Provence for a lighter French look. The live example opens in English and Arabic, because the demo weddings are published in those two; your invitation will show the languages you switch on, in the order you choose. Yasmin, Joury and Rawda are Arabic-first; Provence is a French countryside design with lavender and linen.
