Ganpati Bappa invitation card AI prompt
A premium 4:5 Ganesh Chaturthi invitation card — a divine Ganpati idol, marigolds and diyas, you in a cream kurta with your own face, and your date, time and venue in clean gold typography. Copy the free ChatGPT & Gemini prompt below.
Before you paste it: the date, time, venue and family name in the prompt are placeholders. Replace all four with your own details, or the card will invite people to an address that isn't yours.
Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 falls on Monday, 14 September 2026.
About this prompt
This one is different from the other Ganesh prompts on this site. The Ganpati Bappa portrait and the half-face split are both photos of you. This is an invitation card — something you send to people, with a date, a time and an address on it.
So the prompt is built around two things the portrait prompts don't need: a layout with real typographic hierarchy (heading, invitation copy, event details, sign-off) and enough negative space that none of it lands on your face or on the idol. It is set to 4:5 portrait because that is the tallest ratio Instagram shows uncropped in the feed, and it forwards cleanly on WhatsApp.
How to use it
- Replace the four placeholders first — date, time, venue and your family name. This is the step people skip.
- Tap Copy prompt above.
- Open ChatGPT (image generation), Google Gemini or Nano Banana in image-to-image / reference mode, paste the prompt, and attach one clear, front-facing, well-lit photo of your face.
- Generate at a 4:5 portrait ratio, 1080 × 1350 px or larger.
- Check every line of text before you send it — see the note below.
If the text comes out wrong
It probably will, at least once. AI image models still render long passages of text unreliably, and the Devanagari line — || श्री गणेशाय नमः || — is the hardest thing on the card to get right. A misspelt invitation is worse than no invitation, so check the date, the time and the address character by character before sending.
The reliable fix is to stop asking the model to typeset at all. Regenerate with the line "Do not generate any text or lettering anywhere in the image", which gives you a clean decorated card with empty space where the wording should go, then add the text in Canva or any editor. You get an AI-generated background with perfectly typeset details — and you can re-use the same background for every year by changing the date.
Tips for the best result
- Use image-to-image with a low transformation strength (0.15–0.30) and identity strength high — this is what keeps your face yours.
- Turn off any beautify or smoothing option.
- Ask for the namaste pose only if your reference photo has both hands visible; otherwise the model invents hands, and hands are where AI images fail most obviously.
- Keep the venue on one line if you can. Long addresses wrap unpredictably and are the most common place the layout breaks.
- Generate two or three times and pick the cleanest layout — it is far quicker than trying to correct one bad result.
