Wedding invitations

Punjabi wedding invitation

A Punjabi wedding has a rhythm of its own: the roka and chunni chadhana, then maiyan with batna, a late-night jaggo with the decorated pot, the chooda ceremony on the morning of the wedding, the anand karaj or pheras, and finally the doli. Most guests are invited to several of these, and some only to the reception.

    Pick a template

    Choose how it opens — a scroll, a diya, an envelope, a chat, stories or a scratch card.

  2. 2

    Make it yours

    Add names, every function, muhurat times and venues, in English or any Indian language. Add a photo.

  3. 3

    Share on WhatsApp

    Publish and send one link. It opens full-screen on any phone, no app needed.

  4. 4

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each function.

A funvite invite holds every function in one link. Guests see what they are invited to, can tap for directions, and — if you turn RSVP on — tell you which nights they will join. If the wedding is a Sikh ceremony, see our anand karaj invitation page for gurdwara-specific wording.

What Punjabi families usually put on the card

Sikh families typically open with "Ik Onkar" (ੴ); Hindu Punjabi families often open with a Ganesh invocation. The card is usually issued by the parents, with grandparents named above them, and close family listed on the final panel. Hosts often add a warm line such as "tuhanu pariwar samet pahunchan di benti hai" — please come with your family.

Because the jaggo and sangeet are loud, late and much loved, many families give them their own invite with a dress code. A short, playful line works better there than formal wording.

  • Invocation: ੴ for Sikh families, or Shri Ganesh for Hindu families
  • Bride and groom with parents (and grandparents if you list them)
  • Functions: roka or chunni, maiyan, mehendi, jaggo, sangeet, chooda, wedding, reception
  • Dress codes for the night functions, if you have them
  • Milni and baraat arrival time for the bride's side
  • Map links for each venue and a contact number for the day

One invite, every function

Instead of five separate cards, you can send one invite with every function, then forward the same link to the friends who are only coming to the reception. Pro invites let you collect RSVPs per function, so the caterer gets accurate numbers for the jaggo and the reception separately.

Wording

Wording you can copy

Change the names in brackets and paste into your invite or message. Every line on a funvite invite is editable, in any script.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is the right opening for a Punjabi wedding card?

Sikh families usually begin with ੴ (Ik Onkar) or "Ik Onkar Satgur Prasad". Hindu Punjabi families often begin with a Ganesh invocation. Some mixed or modern cards keep a simple "With the blessings of Waheguru" or "With the blessings of our elders".

Should the jaggo have a separate invite?

It often helps. The jaggo is informal and late, sometimes for a smaller group. A separate invite lets you add a dress code and a playful tone without changing the main card.

Can we write in Gurmukhi and English together?

Yes. Keep the invocation and host lines in Gurmukhi and add English for function details, or send two versions of the same invite — one in each language.

How do we invite people only to the reception?

Make a copy of your invite with only the reception listed and share that link with those guests. Each copy keeps its own RSVP list on Pro.

Is the invite free?

Yes — free templates, preview and sharing cost nothing. Pro (₹99 per invite) adds RSVP, guest list export, games and removes the small funvite link.
