What to include
- Which function it is, and whose (bride, groom or both together).
- Date, time and place of each function when you list more than one.
- Dress colour or theme, if any.
- Whether there is a meal, so guests can plan.
Tips
- Send these with the main invitation or one to two weeks before. A reminder the day before helps.
- If only close family and friends are invited to these functions, send the message personally and not in a large group.
- For haldi, a line about old clothes is a kindness. Turmeric does not wash out easily.
Questions people ask
Can one card cover all the functions?
Yes. List them in order with the date, time and place of each. It saves guests from searching many messages.
What is a ladies sangeet?
It is an evening of folk songs, dholki and dancing held by the women of the family before the wedding. Today many families invite everyone and call it simply the sangeet.
