Cocodot is a place for people and brands to create celebrations. We built cocodot for those who love design and take pride in the way they communicate. Our invitations and greetings do not contain advertising; we charge a yearly subscription or per-use fee.

YOU CAN

• Design beautiful, ad-free invitations & greetings
• Send digital or printed (coming summer) invitations & greetings
• Create an event home page
• Efficiently manage responses & communicate with guests
• Post invitations, greetings and comments to social networks

OUR MISSION

As a business, we strive to elevate online self-expression. In doing so, we hope to make online invitations & greetings an acceptable–and enjoyable–alternative to printing. Our goal is to add beauty and simplicity to all correspondence around weddings, showers, dinner parties and other important events in your life. Our service is meant to help you save money on printing, design and postage–not to mention the time you'll save on creating invitations and managing guest correspondence.

HAVE FUN BEING CREATIVE. ENJOY!

And please let us know your thoughts about how we can improve.
