Hindu Haldi Invitation Wording.
The turmeric ceremony, usually held at both homes.
- Who invites
- The elders of both families invite, naming the parents and often the grandparents before the couple.
- How it opens
- Shree Ganeshaya Namah, or the family deity, written at the top of the card
- Register
- Warm and formal. "Request the pleasure of your company" is common; so is "seek your blessings", which reads more naturally in an Indian invitation.
Sample wording
Written as common practice, not prescription. Take whichever is closest and change the parts that are not you — that is what these are for.
