Writing Urdu wording well
- Bismillah at the top, in Arabic script, above everything else.
- Use a clear Nastaliq font and check it renders correctly on phones; some fonts break the letters.
- Lay out Urdu right to left. On a bilingual card, give Urdu its own panel or column.
- Check names with a fluent reader. Urdu spellings of names vary.
- Keep it courteous. Phrases like "tashreef aawari" and "bais-e-masarrat" carry the warmth guests expect.
Urdu invitations don't just inform guests. They honour them.
Before you send
- Bismillah placed at the top
- Urdu text read by a fluent reader on a phone
- Nikah, mehndi and walima each with date, time and venue
- Names consistent in Urdu and English
A few more courteous lines
- آپ کی آمد ہماری خوشیوں کو دوبالا کر دے گی۔
- Aap ki aamad humari khushiyon ko dobala kar degi.
The order of an Urdu invitation
Most Urdu invitations follow a gentle order: the Bismillah, a line of gratitude to Allah, the hosts' names, the couple with their parents' names, the Nikah date, time and venue, then the mehndi and walima, and a closing request for the guests' duas. Names are often written with respectful titles, such as "Janab" for men and "Mohtarma" for women. Keep the Urdu and any English translation on separate panels, and ask an elder who reads Urdu well to check the final text before it's printed or shared.
Sending Urdu invitations on WhatsApp
Urdu script can look very different from phone to phone, depending on the font installed. For WhatsApp, many families send the invite link with a short Roman Urdu message, and keep the full Urdu text inside the invite, where the font is controlled and every letter reads correctly. Elders who prefer Urdu script can see the printed card or the invite, while younger guests read the Roman Urdu message at a glance.
