Following last month’s 1.5 update, which introduced new features and the Liquid Glass design, was updated today with new “festive event backgrounds.” Here’s what’s new.

Apple Invites was launched in February as a competitor to popular platforms, such as Partiful. Since then, it has added interesting and welcome features, such as Home Screen widgets, support for adding links to invitations, calendar sync , and video playback for shared albums.

Today, Apple rolled out an update just in time for users who may already be planning end-of-year get-togethers. Here’s what’s new, according to the release notes:

• New festive event backgrounds help set the vibe for your end-of-year gatherings.
• This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.

Apple Invites requires an iCloud+ subscription to send invites. You can download on the App Store.
