Wedding cards are integral to every wedding, especially Indian weddings. In the Indian context, it is not just a card, but an elaborate affair that calls for careful planning. Indeed, a wedding card in the Indian context is an encapsulation of everything that is related to the wedding.

Essential Features Of Indian Weddings

Since the wedding invitation is supposed to contain everything related to the wedding, you need to make sure that all that is relevant is incorporated into the card. It includes all the pre-wedding ceremonies like Mehendi, Sangeet, engagement, Tilak, marriage and Vidaai. All these ceremonies together make up the quintessential Indian wedding, especially Hindu wedding.
 

So the format for an Indian wedding must include all the pre and post marriage ceremonies. This calls for a defined format since ceremonies have a sequential order. They are held one after the other. Your Indian Wedding Card Format should be such that it does not miss out on any of the subtleties of the various ceremonies that make up a wedding.

So what should the card contain and how should the layout of the card be! The card needs to start with a greeting from the parent of the bride or the groom. It is they who extend the invitation to the invitees. They should declare that the bride and the groom are going to be engaged on a certain date. This sets the mood for the entire invitation.

The next section should detail all the pre-wedding ceremonies and post wedding rituals that are scheduled to be held. You need to detail the venue of each occasion and that calls for a defined format for Indian wedding cards. It is a good idea to dedicate separate spaces for separate ceremonies so that invitees may get a clear picture. You also need to make sure that all the occasions are given sequentially.
