- Date and time. Festival dates change every year, so write the date, not just "on Diwali".
- Address.
- Anything guests should bring or wear.
Tips
- Festival evenings fill up quickly. Invite two to three weeks ahead.
- For Holi, tell guests which colours you use and offer a place to wash.
- For a first Lohri of a baby or a newly married couple, say so in the first line. It is a special Lohri.
Questions people ask
What is a first Lohri?
In Punjab and nearby regions, the first Lohri after a wedding or after the birth of a child is celebrated with a bigger gathering, a bonfire and gifts of rewri, gajak and peanuts.
Should a festival invitation mention food habits?
It helps. A line like "Vegetarian dinner" or "Tell us if you have any food restriction" saves both sides from awkward moments.
