Sending them well
- Name first. "Namaste Gupta ji" turns a forward into an invitation.
- Date, time, venue in the text. Elders may not open the link.
- Make reception-only invites clear. So guests don't arrive at the wrong function.
- Mention the dress code if there is one: evening formal or Indo-western.
- One reminder, the day of the reception, with parking details.
A reception message greets the guest before the couple does. Make the first line personal.
Before you send
- Guest's name in the first line
- Reception date and time written out in the text
- Reception-only guests get the right version
- The map link tested from a phone that is not yours
More reception lines
- The newlyweds are hosting their first party! Reception on [Date], [Venue]. See you there.
- Please join us in welcoming Mr and Mrs [Surname] at the reception on [Date].
- Dinner, music and the happy couple. Reception from [Time] on [Date].
- Mubarakbaad dene zaroor aaiye! Reception [Date] ko [Venue] par.
- Evening reception for [Bride] & [Groom]. Dress: evening festive.
Receptions are often in a different city from the wedding, or weeks later. If so, say it plainly in the first line, "Our reception in [City] is on [Date]", so guests who attended the wedding don't think it's a repeat, and those who couldn't come know this is their chance to celebrate with you.
Checks before the reception message goes out
- The couple's names as they'll appear on the stage board
- Start time and the time dinner is served
- Parking or valet details for the venue
- A reception-only version for colleagues and wider circles
