The custom
What happens at the wedding?
An Indian wedding invitation usually names the couple with their parents, often opens with a line to Ganesh or the family deity, and lists every function with its own date, time and venue. The pheras or main ceremony are timed to the muhurat, so give that time exactly. Many families still send printed cards to elders and a WhatsApp invitation to everyone else.

Questions
Wedding invitation message in English, answered
What should a wedding invitation message in English say?
It should say whose wedding it is, the date, the time and the venue, and who is inviting. Name both families, give the muhurat or ceremony time exactly, and put the invitation link on its own line so every function, venue and map is one tap away.
When should I send the wedding invitation?
Six to eight weeks before for most guests, and earlier for anyone who has to travel. Send a short reminder in the week of the wedding.
Can guests read the invitation in another language?
Yes, on Plus. A ShaadiMode invitation can be set in 28 languages, and guests can switch between the ones you pick. Free invitations are in English.
Are these messages free to use?
