Baraat
An invitation to walk the groom in.
The Baraat is the groom's procession to the wedding — the dhol, the dancing, sometimes a horse, and a crowd that has to be in the right place at the right time for any of it to work. Its invitation is mostly logistics, and the logistics are the part guests get wrong.
Where to gather, not where it ends
Each celebration has its own venue, so the Baraat's can be the assembly point — the hotel lobby, a street corner, the gate of a farmhouse — with a map that opens in one tap, rather than the wedding venue it is walking to.
For the groom's side
Each guest sees only the celebrations they are invited to, so the Baraat can appear on the invitations of the groom's family and friends and nobody else's. And the names lead in the order each side sends them: his family sees his name first.
On time, in the right clothes
The time and a dress code line are on the Baraat itself, and a guest can add it to their calendar from the invitation. A shuttle's pick-up points and times can go on the invitation too.

What families ask
Can the Baraat show a different address from the wedding?
Yes. Every celebration has its own venue, address and map.
Can only the groom's side see the Baraat?
Yes. Each guest is invited to their own set of celebrations, and sees only those.
Can guests see the Baraat and the wedding times together?
Yes. A guest invited to both sees both, in order, each with its own time and place.
