Hindu wedding
It begins, as it always has, with Ganesha.
A Hindu wedding invitation traditionally opens with Lord Ganesha — honoured first at every new beginning — before a word about the couple. Here it does the same: a Ganesha mark and ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ before anything else, and then every family greeted by its own name.
॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥
Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Remover of obstacles, honoured first at every new beginning.
Every celebration, and only the right ones for each guest
Roka or ring ceremony, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, the Baraat, the pheras, the Reception — each has its own date, time, venue and dress code. Each guest sees only the celebrations they are invited to.
Her family's version and his
The names lead in the order each side sends them: her family's guests see her name first, and his see his. It is one invitation, and it reads correctly to both families.
In a style that suits the family
A palace arch in maroon and gold, a marigold toran, a temple gopuram over a kolam, a peacock in full fan — fourteen card styles and twelve palettes, all of which open the same way.

What families ask
Can the invitation open with a different invocation?
Yes. It can open with Shree Ganeshaya Namah, another line of your family's choosing, or nothing at all.
Can we rename the celebrations — Mayun, Tilak, Vidaai?
Yes. Every celebration can be called whatever your family calls it.
Do elderly relatives need an app to open it?
No. It is a link that opens in the phone's browser, from WhatsApp, SMS or email, on any Android or iPhone.
