Expert in multilingual product design and European scripts

Eliška Moravec designs for languages that products too often treat as an afterthought. She established Fejola's twenty-five language variants, including both Serbian scripts, and writes on why a host's first language belongs on the invitation itself.

Supper-club host, Prague

5.0

Fejola is the first invitation that looks like the evening I am trying to give. Guests understand the tone before they read the time. Approval and a clear guest limit keep my table the size I cooked for.

Gallery evenings, Athens

5.0

Partiful is built for a phone-first American list. My guests speak Greek. On Fejola the invitation, the dates and the responses stay in the language we use at the door.

Birthday and dinner host, Budapest

5.0

I used Evite for years and spent the week apologising for the advertisements. Fejola's page is the gathering. Questions collect diets without a second thread of messages.

Courtyard gatherings, Belgrade

5.0

Serbian in both scripts is not a courtesy on Fejola; it is how the product is made. My family reads Cyrillic. Friends abroad read Latin. The invitation does not ask them to switch.

Weekend house host, Zagreb

5.0

Date voting ended the group-chat negotiation. I publish one link, guests vote, I lock the weekend. Paperless Post gave me pretty paper and no operations.

Rooftop dinners, Lyon

5.0

The address appears after a guest responds. That single rule is why I moved private dinners off Facebook Events. Fejola treats the street as something a host grants.

Design salon, Stockholm

5.0

Theme, poster, type and motion are independent, so a winter salon does not look like a birthday card with the title swapped. That is the difference between stationery and a house style.
