✦  QUICK ANSWERS  ✦

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about creating your perfect wedding invitation

What should a Hindu wedding invitation wording include?

Start with an invocation such as Shri Ganeshaya Namah, then list the hosts, the bride and groom, the date, muhurat time and venue. Close with an RSVP line and the names of family members extending the invitation.

What is marriage card matter?

Marriage card matter is the printed text on a wedding card — the blessing, invitation lines, couple and parent names, event schedule and RSVP details. It can be written in English, Hindi or both.

Who should be named as the host on the wedding invitation?

Traditionally the bride’s or groom’s parents host and are named first. Modern couples often use “Together with their families” to honour both sides while inviting guests themselves.

How do I politely say no gifts on a wedding invitation?

Add a gentle line such as “Your presence and blessings are the only gifts we seek” near the RSVP details. Keep it short and warm so it does not sound demanding.

Can I use both Hindi and English on the same wedding card?

Yes, many families place a Hindi or Sanskrit blessing at the top and English details below, or print a bilingual card. Our editor lets you add text in both languages on any design.
