20 Prompts to Animate Your Wedding Invitation in Canva | Magic Animate & Image-to-Video | Instant Download PDF

Most digital wedding invitations are shared in a WhatsApp group or an Instagram story today, not printed and mailed. In that context, a gentle animation — a soft shimmer, drifting petals, a slow zoom — genuinely stands out against a feed of static images, without needing anything close to real video production skill.
Canva has two separate native tools for exactly this: Magic Animate, which adds a pre-built animation style to a design you've already finished, and Image-to-Video, which adds subtle, natural movement to a real photo — genuinely useful if you're including a couple photo. This pack gives you 20 real, ready-to-use prompts for both.
A Quick, Honest Note
These are subtle, elegant motion effects — a gentle shimmer or drift, not a full animated video production. For a complete, from-scratch video invite, see our Video Invite pack instead. This pack is specifically for adding tasteful movement to a design you've already finished.
What's Included
- 10-page instant-download PDF — a quick-start guide plus your full prompt pack
- 20 ready-to-use animation prompts — across 4 motion styles: Gentle Elegant Motion, Nature & Floral Motion, Sparkle & Festive Motion, and Couple Photo Motion
- A dual quick-start guide — separate step-by-step instructions for Magic Animate and Image-to-Video
- A "Getting the Best Results" reference — practical tips on matching motion to the moment and exporting correctly
- A styling tip for every category — practical guidance matched to each motion style
Who This Is For
- Couples who've already built a static invitation and want it to stand out when shared digitally.
