Tamil Nalangu Invitation Wording.
The music and henna nights before the wedding.
- Who invites
- The elders invite. Both sets of parents are named, and the invitation frequently mentions the grandparents and the family’s native place.
- How it opens
- An invocation to the family deity or to Vinayagar, with the Tamil month, paksham and nakshatra named alongside the date
- Register
- Formal and unhurried, often bilingual with the Tamil set above the English rather than beside it.
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.
