Cocochie Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kyuichi Itoshima) launched a new design template, 'Watercolor,' on May 21, 2026, for its web service 'WEB Shotaijo Yobunara,' an alternative to paper invitations.
This template is the third in a series featuring Japan's first* 'envelope opening animation.' It recreates the excitement of opening an envelope while remaining digital. The design, which expresses both the spreading colors of watercolors and the texture of paper, is available in five colors.
Features of the New 'Watercolor' Template
1. Soft, Bleeding Colors and a Design That Feels Like Paper
This template expresses the beautiful layering of watercolor paints as they slowly bleed and spread. It carefully replicates the plump unevenness and texture characteristic of watercolor paper, as well as the feeling of paint soaking into the paper. The addition of delicate gold accents creates warmth and elegance. Furthermore, the glossy, three-dimensional look of the sealing wax adds to the excitement of opening the invitation.
2. The Third in the Template Series! Features 'Envelope Opening Animation'
The long-awaited third installment of the popular animation-enabled series has arrived. When opening the invitation URL, an opening animation shows an envelope appearing on the screen, with the invitation card sliding out from inside. In an age where there are fewer opportunities to receive paper invitations, the experience of 'opening an envelope' has been digitally recreated. By starting with the experience of 'receiving' rather than just 'viewing,' it heightens the guests' anticipation.
3. Available in Five Transparent Tones
Available in five colors: Mint, Blue, Orange, Green, and Pink, unified by transparent tones. It can be selected according to the concept or seasonality of the event, from casual scenes like birthday parties or girls' nights to bridal showers, weddings, and special anniversaries.
Developed by a creative team with a track record of receiving Good Design Awards and overseas design awards, the new 'Watercolor' invitation is designed with attention to detail. It is available to anyone with free membership registration.
* Company research among major Japanese web invitation services (as of February 2026).
Background of Development
WEB Shotaijo Yobunara values delivering the 'excitement of receiving a paper invitation' and the 'thoughtfulness of the sender' through web invitations. While various styles of templates have been developed, a design with the unique transparency and soft texture of watercolors had not yet been in the lineup. The team was convinced that because the 'bleeding, fluctuation, and transparency' of watercolors are difficult to express in the digital world, achieving them would create a one-of-a-kind experience. From planning and design to implementation, the development involved meticulous attention to detail and repeated adjustments. Through the soft bleeding of watercolors and the texture of the paper, the template was created to make guests feel that 'a special time has already begun the moment they receive the invitation.' Yobunara will continue to provide invitation experiences that convey not only event logistics but also the event's worldview and sentiments.
