A funvite garba invite can be a set of stories guests tap through — the theme for each night, the band or DJ, the pass details — or an envelope that opens with a swirl of mirror-work colour. One link works for the society WhatsApp group and for individual guests alike. Families hosting Durga Puja during the same nine days will find their own page too.
What to include for a garba night
- Dates and nightly timings. Garba usually starts after the evening aarti, and many cities have rules on how late music can play — check yours.
- The aarti time, for guests who come for the puja before the dancing.
- Dress code: chaniya choli for women, kediyu or kurta with dhoti for men, and any colour of the day if you follow one.
- Passes or entry: free for residents, guest passes, or ticketed — and how to collect them.
- Dandiya sticks: provided or bring your own.
- Live band or DJ, competitions and prizes for best dressed or best dancer.
- Food stalls, parking and a lost-and-found point for kids.
Nine nights, one invite
Most Navratri events run across several nights, sometimes with different themes or a special final night before Dussehra. Instead of sending nine separate posters, list every night on one invite. With Pro you can add each night as an event so guests RSVP only to the evenings they will attend, which helps with passes and food counts.
Many families observe fasts during Navratri, so mention if the food stalls include farali (fasting-friendly) options. It is a small detail that guests notice.
