How are Patrika and Canva different?
Canva is a blank canvas with templates. That is powerful if you want a custom look, but you do the layout, and a wedding needs the same fields every time: names, families, ceremonies, venue maps and music. Patrika starts from those fields and a finished design, so most couples finish in about 5 minutes.
What does Patrika not have that Canva does?
Patrika has two designs, Floral and Minimal, and you cannot rearrange them. You also cannot edit an invitation after it is created. Canva gives you far more design freedom.
Choose Canva if
- You want full control over every colour, font and layout.
- You already use Canva and enjoy designing.
- You want to build a multi-page wedding website with your own domain.
Choose Patrika if
- You want a finished invitation without designing it.
- Your guests are on WhatsApp and one link is the goal.
- You are doing this for family, in a hurry, on a phone.
