Nikah & Walima
An invitation that begins with Bismillah.
A Muslim wedding invitation opens in the name of God, and names its celebrations as the family does — the Nikah, the Walima, and often a Mehendi or Manjha before them. Choose the Muslim tradition and the invitation opens with بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ, calls the ceremony the Nikah and the reception the Walima.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Nikah and the Walima, each with its own guests
Each celebration has its own date, venue and time, and each guest sees only the ones they are invited to. The Nikah can go to close family and the Walima to everybody, from the same invitation.
Replies that count, not messages to count
Guests reply for the celebrations they are coming to and how many of their party are with them, and the counts arrive for each celebration separately.
A style to suit it
A pierced marble jaali, a mandala, a quiet letterpress border — fourteen styles and twelve palettes. The Arabic invocation is set right to left, as it should be.

What families ask
Can the invitation open with a different dua or verse?
It opens with Bismillah by default, and can be changed to another line of your choosing or to nothing at all.
Can we add a Mehendi or Manjha before the Nikah?
Yes. Add any celebration and name it what your family calls it.
Can the Walima be hosted by the groom's family in another city?
Yes. Every celebration has its own venue and date, and each guest sees only those they are invited to.
