Steps
Open Canva, click Create a design, then Custom size. Enter 1080 by 1080 pixels for a square invite or 1080 by 1920 for phone screens.
On page 1, build the closed envelope. Search Elements for an envelope graphic or draw one from rectangles, add a paper texture, then place a wax seal in the middle.
Add a second page and design the card that appears from inside. Include names, date, time, venue and RSVP details, and keep text away from the edges.
Go back to page 1, click the envelope image, then click the link icon in the toolbar. Choose page 2 as the destination so a tap jumps to the card.
Add a small back arrow or Close button on page 2 and link it to page 1, so guests can return to the envelope.
Select the envelope and open Animate to add a soft Rise or Pop effect. Keep animations short so the design still loads quickly.
Click Present or the play icon to test. Tap the envelope to confirm it opens the card, then tap the arrow to go back.
Click Share, choose Website, then copy the link. Open it on your phone to check the tap works before you send it to guests.
Tips and common mistakes
Downloading as a PDF removes the page links, so share the Canva website link instead of a file.
Make the whole envelope tappable, not just the seal, so guests do not miss the hotspot.
Keep card text at 24 pt or larger so it stays readable on a phone screen.
Use one decorative font for names and a plain font for the details to keep the card easy to read.
Questions
Does the clickable envelope still work if I download the design?
No. Page links only work inside Canva or on the published website link. Download the design as an MP4 only if you want a video preview without tapping.
Do I need Canva Pro for this?
No. Linking pages and publishing a design as a website work on the free plan. Some premium elements and animations need Pro, so swap them for free ones if asked to upgrade.
How do I send the invitation on WhatsApp?
Publish the design as a website, copy the link, and paste it into the chat. Guests tap the link, then tap the envelope to open the card.
