Getting it right
- Use the ceremony names your family uses. Pithi, mameru, griha shanti, mandap muhurat: customs vary by community.
- Give the muhurat times. Many Gujarati ceremonies are timed by the priest.
- Check the Gujarati with an elder. Spelling and honorifics matter.
- Mention the garba dress code. Guests love to dress up for it.
- Keep the jaan details clear: the meeting point and departure time.
A Gujarati wedding card should feel like garba night: colourful, warm and full of family.
Before you send
- Invocation and ceremony names agreed with the elders
- Gujarati text checked by a fluent reader
- Muhurat times confirmed with the priest
- Garba dress code and jaan meeting point
