Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, 8 November, with Dhanteras on Friday the 6th and Bhai Dooj on Tuesday the 10th — so most office parties land on the Friday, society events on the Saturday and the family puja on Sunday. Whichever one you are hosting, the Diwali invite sets the tone before a single diya is lit.
These Diwali invitation templates are made for the way Indian families actually celebrate: warm colors, rangoli and diya motifs, and layouts that read well on a phone screen, which is where almost every guest will see them. There are designs for a Lakshmi Puja at home, a Diwali party for friends, a taash night that runs past midnight, a society Diwali mela and a team celebration at the office. Pick a design, add your date, venue and a personal line, and Fast Party turns it into a shareable invitation and an event page with RSVPs, reminders and a guest list built in.
Every template here is free to use. Preview it below, download the image, or open it in the Fast Party app to create your Diwali event in a couple of taps. Planning the evening itself? Read our Diwali 2026 hosting guide and decor ideas.

Yes. Every template is sized to look right in WhatsApp, and when you create the event in Fast Party and invite guests, the event page link is shared along with the template for the guest to RSVP and stay informed about the event.
Yes you can add event information and use the template to invite guests: date, time, venue, and anything guests need to know. When you invite people, they get the design and those details together, so the picture arrives with the context.
Yes. Download it and put it in the family group or print it for the door — free, nothing to sign up for. It stays a picture though: no RSVPs, no reminders, no guest list. Create the event and the same design carries all of that.
Every guest gets the design and the puja timing, address and parking on WhatsApp, so you stop answering the same question twenty times. They RSVP from that message, Antsy nudges the ones who go quiet, and you see the headcount before you order sweets. Event tools — schedule, tasks, check-in and more — come with it, in the app or from Claude. On the night, the dashboard tells you who has arrived.
