Wedding Invitation Wording in Hindi

Hindi wedding wording done with respect and warmth, from traditional blessings to modern Roman Hindi, and how to pair it with English.

Hindi wedding wording, ready to use

A Hindi wedding invitation usually opens with a blessing, names the hosts with respect, introduces the couple and then gives the events. Below you'll find complete lines in Devanagari, the same warmth in Roman Hindi for WhatsApp, and bilingual lines that pair Hindi with English. Tap Copy and replace the words in brackets.

Have an elder or a fluent reader check the final text. Small spelling slips in Hindi are easy to miss and hard to forgive.

Opening blessings (मंगल वाक्य)

Most traditional cards begin with a line to Ganesha or a simple auspicious phrase, placed at the very top.

॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ। निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
॥ शुभ विवाह ॥
ईश्वर की असीम कृपा और बड़ों के आशीर्वाद से
मंगलम् भगवान विष्णु, मंगलम् गरुड़ध्वजः। मंगलम् पुण्डरीकाक्षः, मंगलाय तनो हरिः॥

Traditional formal wording in Hindi

सादर आमंत्रण। हमारी सुपुत्री [वधू का नाम] का शुभ विवाह [वर का नाम], सुपुत्र श्री [पिता का नाम] एवं श्रीमती [माता का नाम], के साथ [तारीख] को होना निश्चित हुआ है। आप सपरिवार पधारकर वर-वधू को आशीर्वाद प्रदान करें।
हमारे सुपुत्र [वर का नाम] के शुभ विवाह के पावन अवसर पर आपकी गरिमामयी उपस्थिति प्रार्थनीय है।
इस मंगल अवसर पर आपकी उपस्थिति हमारे लिए सबसे बड़ा आशीर्वाद होगी।
कृपया पधारकर नवदंपति को अपना आशीर्वाद दें और हमारी खुशियों में शामिल हों।

Warm modern wording in Hindi

Keeps the respect and the blessing, in shorter sentences that read easily on a phone.

दो दिल, दो परिवार और एक नई शुरुआत। [वधू] और [वर] की शादी में आपका स्वागत है।
हमारी खुशियाँ आपके बिना अधूरी हैं। [तारीख] को [स्थान] पर ज़रूर आइए।

Roman Hindi wording for WhatsApp

Many guests read Hindi comfortably but find Devanagari slow on a phone. Roman Hindi keeps the language and reaches everyone.

Shubh Vivah. Aap sabhi ko hardik nimantran.
Humari beti [Bride] ki shaadi [Groom] ke saath [Date] ko hai. Aap sapariwar padhaar kar aashirwad dein.
Do dil, do parivaar, ek nayi shuruaat. [Bride] aur [Groom] ki shaadi mein aapka swagat hai.
Aapke bina humari khushiyan adhoori hain. [Date] ko [Venue] zaroor aaiye.
Shaadi ka card bhej rahe hain, par aana aapko khud padega! [Date], [City].

Bilingual Hindi and English lines

A Hindi blessing with English practical details suits mixed guest lists, including guests who don't read Hindi.

शुभ विवाह। [Bride] weds [Groom] on [Day], [Date], at [Venue], [City].
आपकी उपस्थिति हमारे लिए सबसे बड़ा आशीर्वाद होगी। Please join us for the wedding of [Bride] and [Groom].
With the blessings of our elders, we invite you to the wedding of our children. सपरिवार पधारें।

Respect, spelling and the elder check

Always use आप forms. Never तुम or तू in an invitation, even for close friends.
Keep honorifics consistent. If one father is श्री, use श्री for the other too, and श्रीमती for both mothers.
Fix one spelling per name. Transliteration creates many variants (Aisha, Ayesha). Choose once and use the same spelling in the card, the WhatsApp message and the venue board.
Check matras and nuktas. आशीर्वाद, not आर्शीवाद, is the most common slip. Read the text aloud to an elder before printing or sharing.
Use a clean Hindi font. Decorative fonts often break conjunct letters on phones; preview the invite on two phones before sending.

A Hindi invitation is not translated English. It is a blessing first, and an announcement second.

Frequently asked questions

What is written at the top of a Hindi wedding card?

Most families start with ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ or a Ganesh shloka such as "वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय", followed by ॥ शुभ विवाह ॥. Some families use their kuldevta's name instead, so ask an elder.

Should we write the invitation in Devanagari or Roman Hindi?

Devanagari feels more traditional and suits printed cards and elders. Roman Hindi reads faster on phones and in WhatsApp. Many families use Devanagari for the blessing and Roman Hindi or English for the details.

How do I write "with family" on a Hindi invitation?

Use "सपरिवार पधारें" (please come with your family). If you are inviting only the named guest, leave it out rather than adding a line that excludes people.

What does "विनीत" mean at the end of a card?

विनीत means "humbly", and it introduces the names of the inviting family. Some cards list the senior family members under it, others write simply "विनीत: [Surname] परिवार".

Can Hindi and English be mixed in one invitation?

Yes. Put the Hindi blessing and greeting first, and the date, time and venue in English or in both languages. Just keep each line in one language instead of mixing within a sentence.
