Wedding invitation wording names who is inviting, who is getting married, what the events are and when and where they happen. This page gives six English examples (parents hosting, both families hosting, couple hosting, reception only, destination wedding and a short WhatsApp message) and explains how to adapt them for Telugu, Tamil and Hindi invitations.

Telugu, Tamil and Hindi wording

Write the wording in your family's own language where you can. Send us your text and we set it exactly as written in the correct script, then read every name back to you for confirmation. If you want help with wording, we suggest a version and you approve it.

Check the day and the date

A wrong weekday is one of the most common mistakes on invitations. We read every date, weekday and time against each other before we send you a draft.
