Wedding invitation song ideas, by function, side and style
The right wedding invitation song depends on who sends it and who it is for. A groom's family, a bride's family, friends for the sangeet and the elders each want something different. Below are six common cases, the Gaana Invite songs that suit each, and what every guest hears in their own copy.

Questions
Wedding invitation songs, answered
What is the best wedding invitation song in Hindi?
It depends on who it is for. For family, Mahal Romance (a Bollywood-style duet) or Mangal Aashirwad (a Ganesh blessing); for the parents' generation, 90s Wali Shaadi; for friends, Yaaron Ki Shaadi.
How many invitation songs can I choose from?
Ten original songs: five for family in Hindi, three for friends in English, Hindi and Hinglish, and two in English.
Which functions can the song cover?
Haldi, mehendi, sangeet, baraat, pheras and reception. Each guest's film keeps only the functions they are invited to.
Is there an engagement invitation song?
Not yet. Gaana films have scenes for haldi, mehendi, sangeet, baraat, pheras and reception only, so an engagement or cocktail party on your invitation is left out of the song.
How much does a wedding invitation song cost?
Plus (₹2,999 once per wedding) includes one Gaana Invite song and Signature (₹6,999) includes three, each with every guest called by name. Any other song is ₹499. On the free plan you can hear the first 30 seconds of one song, sung with your names, and buy it for ₹499 as one film for all your guests, without names.
