Indian Wedding Invitation Letter

Talk Indian Weddings and what comes to mind is gaiety, exuberance, a riot of colours, and lots of food. Elaborate rituals, colourful outfits, music and merry making characterize the typical Indian wedding, making it a truly unique event. Everything here is on a grand scale, and each and every aspect is catered for and meticulously planned down to the last detail. So it goes without saying that invitation letters are no exception. In keeping with the Indian traditions, wedding invitations are always sent by the parents of the bride or groom and rarely by the individuals getting married.

A lot of time and money is spent on choosing the wedding card prints of which are then ordered by the hundreds. Most wedding cards are accompanied by a handwritten wedding invitation letter. This is a gesture which adds warmth and a personal touch to minimize any unintentional indifference implied by the printed cards.

While writing an Indian wedding invitation letter, keep the tone warm and informal and extend a heartfelt invitation to the recipient so that he/she feels like a valued guest. Make sure that you add all the details about the date and time on the letter as well. Conclude it with a sincere wish that you hope that the recipient would attend the special event that means so much to you.

Dear Martha & Charles,

It gives us immense pleasure to write this letter to specially invite you to the wedding of our daughter Anita to Jay Patel to be solemnised on the 22nd of Dec at Rosewood Lawns, Atlanta.

Jay is an architect and has his own firm in New York. Anita plans to start a boutique in New York once she joins him there.

This is indeed a happy occasion for us as we shall see our daughter begin a new chapter in her life. We would be delighted if you could be a part of this beautiful occasion and share in our joy. Anita is especially fond of you both and holds you in high regard. She remembers her childhood days in Denver when we were your neighbours and she would spend more time in your house than in her own. It would surely mean the world to her if you could attend the most beautiful event of her life and extend your greetings and wishes to her in person.

The invitation card enclosed with this letter has all the details about the venue. It would be our pleasure to host you in our home while you are in Atlanta. We hope that you would grace the occasion with your presence and look forward to meeting you very soon.

Eagerly awaiting your reply in the affirmative,

Yours affectionately,

Pramila & Vijay
