Who hosts

Most Indian invitations come from parents or both families — not the couple alone.

  • Name elders with respectful titles
  • Mention both families when jointly hosting
  • Keep the couple line clear and balanced

List every function clearly

Guests need date, time, and venue per event — especially when mehendi is invite-only.

  • Haldi / mehendi / sangeet / wedding / reception
  • Muhurat labels where relevant
  • Maps-friendly venue lines

RSVP without awkwardness

A kind deadline and a digital reply beat chasing WhatsApp replies.

  • “Kindly reply by…” line
  • Personal links for tracking
  • Plus-ones when you allow them
Common questions

Should the groom’s name come first?

Traditional Hindu cards often list the groom first; many modern families present both names equally. Choose what both families are comfortable with.

How long should the card text be?

Keep the main card concise. Put detailed schedules on the digital microsite or inserts.
