Puja invitations for home, shop and office

A puja is often how Indian families mark something new — a home, a shop, a vehicle, a child’s exam result, a recovery, a first salary. The guest list is usually small and personal: close family, neighbours, a few friends, sometimes colleagues and clients. The invite needs to be respectful, short and very clear about the time, because pujas start at the muhurat whether everyone has arrived or not.

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each event.

With funvite you can send a calm, traditional puja invitation that opens like an envelope sealed with a marigold, or a chat-style message from the family with the address pinned. It works for any puja: Lakshmi puja, a Satyanarayan katha, Vastu shanti, a navagraha puja or a shop opening. Moving into a new home? See griha pravesh invitations.

What to include on a puja invitation

  • Which puja it is, and the reason if you want to share it (a new home, a new business, a family milestone).
  • Date and the puja start time or muhurat — confirm it with your pandit.
  • Approximate duration and when aarti and prasad will be.
  • Whether a meal follows, and if it is satvik or vegetarian.
  • Address with landmarks; for offices, the floor and a contact person at the gate.
  • A simple note on dress if it matters — traditional wear, or covering heads in some families.

Tone and timing

Puja invitations sound best when they are simple. Start with a short invocation — “श्री गणेशाय नमः” is common in many homes — then the occasion, the time and the family’s name. Send it a week before for family and close friends, and three or four days before for an office or shop puja. A short WhatsApp reminder on the morning of the puja helps guests arrive on time.

For business pujas, mention your company or shop name, and keep a contact number on the invite for clients who may be visiting for the first time.

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I write a simple puja invitation?

Open with a short invocation, name the puja and the occasion, give the date, start time and address, and close with your family’s name. This page has Hindi and English wordings you can copy.

Should I put the muhurat time on the invite?

Yes. Pujas begin at the muhurat, so give the exact start time your pandit has suggested and ask guests to arrive a few minutes early.

Can I use this for a shop or office puja?

Yes. Add your business name and logo, the address and a contact number. If you want a fully branded invite, custom designs start at ₹2,999.

Can I add the meal after the puja as a second event?

With Pro you can list the puja and the lunch or dinner as separate events, and guests RSVP to each so you know how many to cook for.

Is it all right to invite elders through WhatsApp?

Most families do now. The invite opens in one tap with no app, and you can write it in Hindi. Following up with a call to the eldest relatives is still a good tradition.
