About mysanaa

mysanaa

Sanaa is Swahili for art. The invitation is the first piece of art at any gathering.

Why we started

Our founders spent years watching aunties chase RSVPs by phone, planners reconcile three spreadsheets the night before a wedding, and beautiful printed cards arrive after the guests had already asked for directions on WhatsApp.

mysanaa brings the two together. Today, one design goes out by email or as a private link you share yourself, and every reply lands in one list the host can trust. WhatsApp and SMS sending, printed cards from partner presses, group outfits, gifts and travel for guests flying in from abroad are coming soon.

The name belongs to no single tribe or country. It carries a word for art, and the idea that an invitation should feel made by hand even when it arrives on a phone.

The craft

Printed cards coming soon

Printed by hand, a few streets away

When printed cards open, every order will go to a partner press close to you, with a backup press on call, so a busy December never costs you your date.

What we do

What we hold to

Made with care

Every template is drawn by a person and checked on a real phone and a real sheet of card.

Every guest counts

An invitation should reach the grandmother without WhatsApp as surely as the cousin in Houston.

Plain and honest

Free for invited hosts during early access, and clear prices per event after. Guests never pay to reply, and we never sell their details.

Close to our hosts

We print close to our hosts, pay our partners on time, and build for the connections people actually have.

Every culture, properly named

Naming ceremonies, traditional weddings, milestone birthdays. We use the words hosts use and design for how each ceremony really runs.

Calm on the day

Updates and support that keep working when the hall is full and the network is slow.
