Perfect Wedding Card Writing

Hindu weddings are very elaborate, with much importance being given to the multitude of small rituals that are conducted prior to the actual ceremony. The bride and groom exchange gardens, walk around the sacred fire, and the groom ties the Mangalsutra amidst a large number of family members and friends.

Some Points To Note Before Beginning

Keep in mind that the invitation wordings should reflect the style of your wedding, which can be anything from formal to casual.It should bring out exactly the kind of tone that shows off your inner self and personality. Check out a wide range of wording samples to find one that compliments the spirit and situation surrounding your wedding. You can also consider including lovely poetic lines, particularly if the tone is casual, such as:

As spring comes alive and beauty of colour abounds
We make a promise to always love and be happy, unbound.
else
We are two souls meant to be one in a hundred different ways.
Please share in our joy.

Details That Must Be Present In The Invite

It is to be noted that wedding invitation wording must bring out to the guests what the style and aesthetic of your wedding is. It should clearly state the details such as who’s hosting, about the bride and groom, when the wedding ceremony will actually take place, and also the reception. However, do not overload the invite with text such that something important is left out. Clarity is very important in the way details are presented and it is vital to respect those contributing to the wedding day by putting their names into the invite as well.

Usually, it is the parents of the bride who host the wedding, so their name is at the top of the invite. However, with couples hosting their own weddings, it has become the norm to do it with their parents. So, when a wedding invite is written, the names of the parents from both families are included in the invite. Here is an example of what this would look like:

Along with their parents, Krishna and Radha request the pleasure of your company...

It is the norm for the name of the bride to be mentioned first, followed by the name of the groom. The former’s first and middle names are typically used while the latter’s first and last names are used, but of course, this can also be changed according to personal style.

Key Wedding Details to be Mentioned

After specifying the names of the bride and groom, it is vital to give the ceremony details such as when, where, what day and time, and other similar details. A typical wedding invite must have the following details written out:

The name of the wedding hosts
Request to come to the meeting
Names of the Bride and Groom
Wedding location
Date and time

The invitation also asks for "pleasure of guests' company" and asks them to "honor" it... words which indicate that it is going to be held in some place of worship. An example of how these lines would come out is:

• I would enjoy your company.
• I honour your presence.

You might also want to give out details of what will occur after the ceremony is over, which can be dinner, music fest, dance show, etc. It is to be noted that formal wedding invite wordings are simple and short, while casual wedding wordings are modern and playful.

Any details for RSVP, such as how and when to send in the RSVP, should be given at the bottom of the invite, or else on a personal info card, or perhaps even on a separate RSVP card. It is preferred that the RSVP cut-off be some four weeks prior to the wedding. If there are certain details that cannot be put into the wedding invite, such as your registry details, they can be given in a separate insert card or perhaps through a link to your wedding site.
