What is a slideshow invitation?

Storytelling Through Invitations

A slideshow invitation is a multi-page Canva design that guests view in sequence online. CreatEcards keeps the slideshow presentation, then adds event details, online RSVPs, and guest tracking on the same live invitation page.

Build the invitation as a sequence of pages in Canva, then add the working event layer. CreatEcards keeps the slideshow visible and adds a mobile-friendly page where guests can find the practical details and respond. Use video presentation instead when the invitation needs music.

Design Your Slideshow Invite
Step 1: Create the slideshow invitation in Canva

Canva slideshow format

Keep every slide in the order you designed

Use slideshow presentation for a multi-page Canva invitation that should play visually like a GIF. If the design needs music, use the video presentation instead.

  • Show the pages in sequence
  • Keep the slideshow and RSVP flow on one live link

One live invitation page

Keep your Canva design, RSVP, and event details together

Turn the Canva slideshow design into one mobile-friendly page for responses, dates, venues, maps, schedules, helpful links, and later updates.

  • Update practical details without sending a replacement invitation
  • Keep the same shared link as plans change
