What is it?
Apple Invites is the company’s attempt to offer an event planning and invitation creation service like to Partiful or Evite. The app lets you host parties and send out RSVPs, and it integrates with other Apple services like shared albums from Apple Photos and collaborative playlists from Apple Music. Invites now allow Picture Playground if you would rather use AI to create a picture for your invitation rather than relying on one of your own photos or Apple’s pre-selected options.
How do I create an invitation for an event using Apple Invites?
To create an event invitation using Apple Invites, you need to go to the iCloud website or have the Invites app installed on an iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Additionally, to take use of Invites’ integration with Apple Intelligence, you must have an iPhone that supports the capability, such as an iPhone 15 Pro or later.
Create your event after using the Apple Invites app. Then, if you have never used the app before, click “Create an Event.” If you have already made or received invitations to events, click the small “+” in the top right corner of your screen. The invite screen should then be blank.
To create an Image Playground, a new photo, or a picture from your photo library, tap one of the circular buttons at the top of the screen. Alternatively, tap “Add Background” and select one of Apple’s pre-made backgrounds (emoji, photographic, and colour options).
Choose from four font options after selecting “Event Title” to title an event. Decide on the time and date, pick the venue, and include a description. Select a different host name if you’d like. For added flair, Apple also provides four font choices.
To receive an invitation, you need to fill out those forms, but Invites also contains two more features that are exclusive to Apple software. During and after the event, guests can tap on “Create Album” to view and contribute to a shared photo album you create. The album name will be used as the event name, but you can enter an alternative name under Album Name and click “Done” to save your changes.
Tap “Preview” in the upper right corner to see a preview of your invitation to guests, and then click “Next” to start sending out invitations.

You can send an invitation by copying it to your clipboard, sharing it via any app on your iOS share sheet, or tapping on the Messages or Mail icons.
