Wedding Invitation Wording – Examples & Templates

Wedding invitation wording, written for your tradition

Finding the right wedding invitation wording is harder than it looks: who is hosting, how formal to sound, how to name both families, whether the ceremony is a Nikah, an Anand Karaj, a Hindu vivah or Holy Matrimony. This generator writes three complete versions for you from a few fields — names, parents, date, time and venue — so you can copy the one you like into a card, an e-invite or a WhatsApp message.

Templates cover Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, interfaith and civil weddings, invitations from either set of parents, both families or the couple themselves, in a formal tone, a warm casual tone, or formal Hindi. Every line was written for this tool; there is nothing to pay for and nothing to credit.

Wording etiquette worth knowing

“Honour of your presence” or “pleasure of your company”? Traditionally the first is used for ceremonies in a place of worship and the second for other venues; the Christian templates use “honour”.
Whoever hosts comes first. When the bride’s parents invite, their names lead and the groom is introduced as “son of …”; the reverse when the groom’s parents host.
Remembering elders. A blessings line such as “With the blessings of Smt. Kamla Devi and Late Shri Ram Prasad Sharma” honours grandparents, living or late.
Keep the casual version short. For a WhatsApp invite, the third casual version fits on one screen; send the full card as a PDF or image afterwards.
Proofread names twice. Titles (Mr, Mrs, Dr, Smt., Shri) and the order of parents’ names are the details guests notice.

Hindi invitation wording

The Hindi version follows the classic card layout: “॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥”, the Vakratunda shloka, “सादर आमंत्रण”, the bride and groom introduced as the parents’ सुपुत्री and सुपुत्र, the date in Hindi, and a closing “स्वागतोत्सुक” or “दर्शनाभिलाषी” with the hosts’ names. Type names in Devanagari or in English — the template works either way.

Wedding Invitation Wording Generator FAQ

What is the proper wording for a wedding invitation?

A formal invitation names the hosts, asks for the guests’ presence (“request the honour of your presence”), names the couple, then gives the date, time and venue, with a reception or RSVP line at the end. The wedding invitation wording generator assembles exactly that, in the order etiquette expects.

How do I word an invitation from both sets of parents?

Choose “Both families”: both parents’ names lead, followed by “request the pleasure of your company at the wedding of their children” and the couple’s names.

Can I use these templates for a Nikah or Anand Karaj?

Yes. The Muslim templates open with Bismillah and name the Nikah; the Sikh templates open with Ik Onkar or the Fateh greeting and name the Anand Karaj.

Is there wording for an invitation from the couple?

Yes — “Together with their families, [names] request the pleasure of your company…” in the formal tone, or “We’re getting married!” in the casual tone.

How do I write the date on a formal invitation?

Traditional cards spell it out: “Saturday, the twelfth of December, two thousand twenty-six, at seven o’clock in the evening.” The formal versions here do that automatically.

Can I use these wordings for free?

Yes. They were written for this tool and you can print or share them without credit.
