Rajasthani wedding invitation

A Rajasthani wedding is rarely one day. There is the tilak, the baan and haldi, the mahira (bhaat) brought by the mother's family, the nikasi as the groom sets out, and then the pheras late into the night. A good invitation has to carry all of that without becoming a booklet nobody reads.

  4. 4

    Track RSVPs

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

funvite's royal templates open like a farmaan from a palace: guests tap the wax seal, the scroll unrolls, and each function appears in turn with its own date, time and venue. You send one link on WhatsApp, and family in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur or Dubai all see the same updated details. Pair it with separate haldi and sangeet invites if you want each night to have its own moment.

Customs a Rajasthani card usually follows

Most Marwari and Rajasthani cards open with an invocation to Shri Ganesh, often with the family's kuldevi named beneath. The hosts are usually the elders of the house — grandparents first, then parents — and many families list the extended family on the last panel as "swagatotsuk" or "darshanabhilashi".

Wording is traditionally formal Hindi. Many families add one line in Rajasthani, such as "padharo sa", as a warm welcome. Royal motifs — jharokhas, elephants, peacocks, the pink of Jaipur or the blue of Jodhpur — are common, and our scroll templates lean into that look without copying any palace's crest.

  • Ganesh invocation and, if your family uses it, the kuldevi's name
  • Names of the bride and groom with their parents and grandparents
  • Each function on its own line: tilak, mahira, haldi, mehendi, nikasi, pheras, reception
  • Lagan or phera time if the pandit has fixed a muhurat
  • Venue with a map link — haveli and fort venues are often hard to find
  • A request for RSVP, especially if you are arranging stays for outstation guests

Making it work on WhatsApp

Long printed cards get photographed and forwarded as blurry images. A digital invite keeps every detail readable on a phone, lets you change a venue or time after sending, and — on Pro — collects RSVPs per function so you know how many guests to expect at the bhaat and how many at the reception.

Questions

Frequently asked

What should go at the top of a Rajasthani wedding card?

Most families open with "Shri Ganeshaya Namah" or a short Ganesh shloka, and many add their kuldevi's name. If your family has a fixed line, use it — the template lets you replace the header text.

Do we need a separate invite for the mahira (bhaat)?

It is common to list it among the functions, and many families also send a short personal message to the maternal side inviting them to bring the bhaat. You can duplicate your invite and keep only that function.

Can we write the card in Hindi and English together?

Yes. Many hosts keep the invocation and host lines in Hindi and the function details in English so younger and outstation guests can read them easily.

How do guests outside India open it?

It is a web link, so it opens in any phone browser — no app or download. Times are shown as you enter them, so mention "IST" if many guests are abroad.

Can we track RSVPs for each function separately?

Yes, on Pro (₹99 per invite). Guests pick the functions they will attend, and you see the counts and can export the list as a CSV for your caterer or hotel.

Can you design a fully custom royal invite with our photos?

Yes. Custom invites start at ₹2,999 — we can add your photos, family crest you own, or illustrated portraits. Send a note from the custom invite page.
