Nikah Walima Invitation Wording.
Frequently a separate day, a separate venue, and a wider guest list.
- Who invites
- Both families invite, though the Nikah and the Walima are conventionally hosted by different sides and carry separate invitations.
- How it opens
- Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, often with a Quranic verse on marriage — Surah Ar-Rum 30:21 is the most frequently chosen
- Register
- Dignified and restrained. Geometry and calligraphy rather than figurative imagery.
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.
