Diwali Templates for Cards, Invitations, Sales and Celebrations
Part of: Holidays & Seasonal
Diwali is the festival of lights, and it is also a festival of invitations, greetings, offers and planning. Families invite relatives to puja and dinner, businesses thank clients and announce festive sales, offices plan celebrations and schools fill the week with rangoli and crafts.
These Diwali templates cover all of it. Choose a design with diyas, marigolds, rangoli, lanterns or paisley, type your own names, dates and offers in the online editor, then download a print ready PDF or an image sized for WhatsApp and social media.
Choose a Diwali Design by Occasion
Most people arrive here with one job in mind. This table points you to the right kind of template.

|---|---|
| Sending wishes to family and friends | Greeting cards, a two page card with an inside letter, a family photo card, Bhai Dooj and Saal Mubarak cards |
| Hosting at home | Party, night party, dinner, potluck, kids party and Lakshmi Puja invitations |
| Inviting by phone | A full screen WhatsApp invitation and square social greetings |
| Running a shop or restaurant | Sale flyers, posters, social offers, coupons, hamper price lists, menus and sweet box order forms |
| Thanking clients | A corporate greeting card with a logo slot and LinkedIn and email designs |

| Organising the festival | Party planners, gift budget trackers, puja samagri checklists and community mela posters |
Diwali Greeting Cards with Diyas, Rangoli and Marigolds
The greeting cards are made for printing and for sharing. A plum night card places a brass diya inside a jewel rangoli, a cream card hangs marigold garlands over Devanagari lettering and includes an inside page for a real letter, and a maroon card frames your family photo in an arch under a mango leaf toran. Businesses can send a navy and gold card with their own logo. Cards for Bhai Dooj and the Gujarati New Year extend the season beyond the main night.
Diwali Party, Dinner and Puja Invitations
Every gathering has a different mood, so the invitations do too. A magenta card with a marigold toran suits a lively family party, while a black and gold art deco design sets the tone for a dressy night. A terracotta paisley card invites guests to a festive dinner, a potluck card carries a real who is bringing what table, and a kids invitation with star lanterns lists craft activities and a sparkler safety note. For Lakshmi Puja, a respectful red and gold card shows a kalash resting on a lotus inside a temple arch, without deity images.
WhatsApp, Instagram and Online Diwali Designs
Many Diwali invitations never touch paper. The WhatsApp invitation is 1080 x 1920 pixels, the exact size of a phone screen and a status update, with large text that stays readable after compression. Square and portrait posts work for Instagram and Facebook feeds, and banner and email sizes help shops promote their festive offers online. Every design downloads as a PNG or JPG for sharing.
Diwali Sale and Business Templates
Diwali and Dhanteras are among the busiest shopping days of the year in many communities. Shops, jewellers, sweet makers and restaurants will find sale flyers, posters, offer posts, discount coupons, a hamper price list, a festive menu, sweet box labels and a mithai order form with an editable table. Keep offers honest: say up to when only some items carry the top discount and state clear dates.
Diwali at the Office, at School and in the Community
Workplaces can announce a celebration with an agenda table, share a staff notice about holiday arrangements and thank employees with an appreciation card. Teachers can run a rangoli competition with a flyer and a winner certificate, and keep children busy with a colouring page and a word search and quiz. Community associations can promote a Diwali mela with a schedule and feature tiles, or an evening of dance and music with an 18 x 24 inch cultural night poster.
Plan the Festive Week Without Stress
A few practical printables help the week run smoothly: a party planner checklist, a gift list and budget tracker, a puja samagri checklist, buffet food labels and return gift tags. The tracking sheets use real editable tables, so you can add rows and type your own items. In 2026, Dhanteras falls on Friday, November 6 and Diwali on Sunday, November 8, though regional calendars can differ by a day.
