Bihari wedding invitation (Bhojpuri, Maithili, Hindi)

A Bihari wedding invitation is usually in Hindi, with Bhojpuri or Maithili lines for warmth. It opens with Ganesh, names the groom as Chi. and the bride as Ayu., and lists the tilak, haldi, matkor, baraat and dwar puja, and the vivah with sindoor daan. The tilak often gets its own card, because it can be weeks earlier.

Can the invitation be in Bhojpuri or Maithili?

Yes, on Plus. Both are among the invitation languages, along with Hindi. Bhojpuri and Maithili are machine-translated, so ask someone in the family to read the wording once.
