red and gold color scheme, Ganesh motif at top, ornate border with 
paisley patterns, watercolor texture, Devanagari calligraphy space 
in center, professional wedding stationery design --ar 5:7 --v 6

• Style: "Indian wedding invitation"
• Colors: Specify exact colors
• Elements: List specific motifs you want
• Quality: "professional", "elegant", "premium"
• Aspect ratio: --ar 5:7 (standard invitation size)

Using DALL-E 3 (Easiest)

In ChatGPT (with Plus subscription):

Create a premium Indian wedding invitation design. Traditional Hindu 
style with rich red and gold colors. Include a decorative Ganesh 
illustration at the top, ornate border with paisley and floral 
patterns. Leave space in the center for text. The design should 
look like a professional print-ready invitation. Aspect ratio 5:7.

Using Flux (Best Value)

On Replicate or ComfyUI:

red and gold color palette, Ganesh illustration, ornate paisley 
border, watercolor texture, professional stationery design, 
print quality, 300dpi

Using Ideogram (Best for Text)

Ideogram handles text in images better than most tools:

elegant gold calligraphy, "15th December 2026" below, traditional 
red and gold design with floral border

Step 3: Edit and Customize in Canva

AI gives you the visual foundation. Canva makes it print-ready.

1. Upload your AI-generated image to Canva
2. Create a new design (5x7 inches for standard invitation)
3. Use the AI image as background
4. Add text layers:

• Couple's names (largest)
• Date and time
• Venue details
• RSVP information

1. Adjust colors to match your theme
2. Add finishing touches (gold foil effect, shadow, etc.)

Step 6: Print or Share

Digital Sharing

Pro Tips for Better Results

1. Generate 20+ variations: Pick the best 2-3, then refine
2. Use image-to-image: Start with a reference photo for consistent style
3. Match the vibe: Traditional families expect traditional designs
4. Less is more: Don't overcrowd — leave breathing room for text
5. Test readability: Print a sample before ordering 500 cards
6. Color accuracy: Screen colors differ from print — get a proof
