Marwari and Rajasthani wedding invitation

A Marwari wedding invitation usually opens with Shri Ganeshaya Namah, names the couple with their parents and often grandparents, and lists every function from the Ganesh puja and baan to the mayra, baraat and phere. The elders who invite you sign at the end, and many cards close with a bal manuhar from the children.

The functions

What functions does a Marwari wedding have?

The order most families follow. Every family adds or skips a few, so treat this as a starting list.

  1. Ganesh puja (Vinayak sthapana)The wedding starts with Ganesh; in many homes the first card is placed before him.
  2. Sagai or tilakThe engagement. In many families the bride's side applies tilak to the groom.
  3. Baan and pithiTurmeric rituals at both homes, sometimes over several days before the wedding.
  4. MehndiThe bride's henna evening, with the women of the family singing.
  5. Mayra (bhaat)The maternal uncle's family arrives with clothes and gifts for the mother of the bride or groom.
  6. Mahila sangeetWomen's songs, now often a full sangeet night with both families.
  7. Nikasi and baraatThe groom rides out on a mare; at the bride's door he touches the toran.
  8. PhereThe rounds around the fire at the muhurat, followed by the vidaai.
  9. ReceptionUsually hosted by the groom's family once the bride comes home.

Questions

Marwari and Rajasthani wedding invitation, answered

What is mayra in a Marwari wedding?

Mayra, also called bhaat, is when the maternal uncle and his family arrive with clothes, jewellery and gifts for the mother of the bride or groom and her family. It is a big moment, so many families give it its own line and time on the invitation.

Should a Marwari invitation be in Hindi or Marwari?

Most printed cards are in Hindi with a few Marwari lines for warmth, like the manuhar at the end. A ShaadiMode invitation can be set in Rajasthani (Marwari) or Hindi on Plus, and guests can switch to English if you offer it. Rajasthani is machine-translated, so read it once.

Which ShaadiMode design suits a Marwari wedding?

Gulabi Mahal is a Rajasthani design with caricatures of the couple, and Royal Dusk is a palace look that opens with Ganesh. Both carry every Marwari function, each with its own venue, time and map.
