Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating your wedding invitation with SimchaMaker.
Getting Started
What is SimchaMaker?
SimchaMaker is a digital design platform built specifically for Orthodox Jewish wedding invitations. You can create beautiful bilingual Hebrew and English invitations, customize the design, and download print-ready PDF and PNG files.
Do I need an account to use SimchaMaker?
Yes. You’ll need to create a free account to start designing your invitation. You can sign up with your email or Google account — it only takes a moment.
How does the process work?
It’s three simple steps: pick a style, enter your wedding details (names, date, venue, parents), and download your print-ready files after payment.
Design & Customization
What languages are supported?
You can create invitations in Hebrew only, English only, or both languages side by side. Our editor handles right-to-left Hebrew text and traditional font ligatures automatically.
Can I customize the text on my invitation?
Yes. Every section of text can be customized — from the “Kol Sasson” header to parent names, venue details, and event times. We provide smart defaults based on Orthodox wedding conventions, but you can edit anything.
Can I change colors and fonts?
Yes. You can customize the primary color, accent color, background color, and choose from a selection of Hebrew and English fonts for both body text and names.
Can I upload a monogram or custom image?
Yes. You can upload a monogram image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG, up to 512KB) to personalize your invitation.
How does the Hebrew date work?
When you enter your wedding date, SimchaMaker automatically calculates the corresponding Hebrew date, day of the week in Hebrew, and the weekly Torah portion (parsha). You can review and edit these if needed.
Pricing & Payment
How much does it cost?
SimchaMaker costs $39.99 per invitation design — a one-time payment, no subscription. You can create unlimited drafts for free before purchasing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe, our secure payment processor. Your card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never touch our servers.
Can I try before I pay?
You can design your entire invitation, preview it in different styles, and make unlimited changes before paying. You only pay when you’re ready to download.
Downloads & Printing
What file formats do I get?
You receive both a high-resolution PDF and PNG file, rendered at 300 DPI — suitable for professional printing including foil stamping, embossing, and letterpress.
How many times can I download my invitation?
You can download your completed invitation as many times as you need.
Can I edit my invitation after downloading?
Your invitation is locked after the first download to ensure the printed version matches what you approved. If you need changes before downloading, you can edit freely.
Do you print the invitations?
SimchaMaker provides the digital design files. You can take the print-ready PDF or PNG to any printer of your choice — local print shops, online services, or fine-art printers.
Account & Privacy
How is my data protected?
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and secure session management. Payment information is handled entirely by Stripe. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Contact us at support@simchamaker.com and we’ll permanently delete your account and all associated invitation data.
Do you share my information with third parties?
We never sell your data. We share limited information only with the services needed to operate — Stripe for payments and Google for sign-in and analytics. See our Privacy Policy for details.
