Home / Ramadan Zone / Iftar Invitation Card Maker
An iftar invitation carries one piece of information guests genuinely need — what time the fast breaks at your place — and most invitations forget it. This maker does not. Pick your Ramadan city in the strip at the top of the page, choose which day of Ramadan you are hosting, and the card fills in that date's iftar time from the city's real timetable automatically. Add your name as host, the venue, and a line for your guests, and you have a finished invitation card plus a ready-written WhatsApp message to send with it.
Hosting iftar is one of the month's great rewarded acts, and a clear invitation is part of doing it well: guests travelling across town can plan around Maghrib, families with children know whether to come straight or feed little ones first, and nobody has to send the awkward 'so… what time exactly?' message. The card is sized 1080 by 1350, large and legible in any chat.
Host name: use the name guests know the household by — 'The Khan Family' or 'Aunty Nasreen' both work better than a formal full name nobody uses. Venue: a home address can stay vague on the card itself ('our home, Gulberg') with the precise address in the WhatsApp message to confirmed guests; a restaurant or hall name should be exact, with a landmark if the place is new to most guests.
Day picker: choosing the Ramadan day sets both the Gregorian date and the iftar time, because both come from the same timetable — iftar drifts by a minute or two across the month, and the card always shows the right day's time, not a generic one. Guest message: one warm line. Mention children being welcome, parking, or that taraweeh follows at the local mosque — the small logistics that decide whether people can actually come.
Download the card, then use the WhatsApp share button on this page: it opens WhatsApp with the invitation written out as text — host, day, date, iftar time and venue — ready to send, and you attach the downloaded card image to the same chat. Sending both matters. The image is what people save and glance at; the text is what they search for later when 'iftar' and your name need to find each other in a crowded chat list.
Send invitations five to seven days ahead for a weekend iftar, three days for a weekday one. Follow up once, the day before, with the iftar time repeated — plans made a week earlier in Ramadan compete with tiredness, and a gentle reminder lifts attendance more than a second invitation does.
Put the iftar time from your card where you can see it while cooking, and work backwards: drinks and dates need no cooking, so set them out first; anything fried should be last and small-batch, because pakoras wait for nobody. Invite guests to arrive twenty to thirty minutes before Maghrib — close enough that food stays hot, early enough that the dua before iftar is shared rather than rushed in doorways.
Ask about allergies when people reply, not when plates are served, and quietly note who is diabetic or elderly so a suitable plate exists without a fuss being made. If some guests are not fasting — travellers, the unwell, non-Muslim friends — the invitation's warmth should say so plainly; a line like 'fasting or not, the table is for everyone' prevents the declined invitations that come from embarrassment rather than calendars.
From the published timetable for the city you select at the top of this page, for the exact Ramadan day you pick. Choose the city where the iftar will actually happen.
Pick the nearest listed city in the same country — times usually differ by only a few minutes — and mention your local mosque's time in the guest message line to be precise.
It opens WhatsApp's share screen with the invitation text pre-written. Attach the card image you downloaded, choose your guests or group, and send.
Yes — pick the day, then edit the wording: the time shown will be that day's iftar, so replace it in your message with the sehri (Fajr) time from your city's calendar page.
