Gujarati Garba & Sangeet Invitation Wording.
The music and henna nights before the wedding.
- Who invites
- The elders invite. Kankotris traditionally name a long list of family members, and shortening it is a decision families weigh carefully.
- How it opens
- A Ganesha invocation, with the Vikram Samvat date often alongside the Gregorian
- Register
- Ornate and generous. The garba nights get as much billing as the ceremony.
