What to put in a wedding invitation message
- The guest’s name, with ji for elders.
- Who is getting married, and who is inviting.
- The date, and the city or venue.
- A link to the invite, with the map and every function.
- A line that asks them to reply, so you can plan seats and rooms.
Keep the message short. Elders read the details in the message; friends tap the link. A link that opens with the guest’s own name does the work a handwritten card used to do.

Send it with a link, not a photo of a card
A card image gets lost in the chat and has no map. A wedding invitation for WhatsApp is a link that opens with your guest’s name, the venue map, a countdown and a one-tap RSVP. When guests write back, point them to replies to a wedding invitation.
Questions people ask
What should a wedding invitation message on WhatsApp include?
The guest’s name, the couple’s names, the date, the city or venue, and a link with the full details and map. Close with who is inviting them.
Is it OK to invite relatives to a wedding on WhatsApp?
Yes. It is now normal in India. For elders, send a respectful message with ji, and follow it with a phone call.
When should I send wedding invitations on WhatsApp?
Send them 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding, and 8 weeks for guests who must travel. Send a reminder 2 or 3 days before each function.
Should I send one message to a group or to each guest?
Send each guest their own message. A personal message with their name feels like an invitation; a group forward feels like a notice.

Yes. Write in the language the guest uses with you. This page has ready Hindi messages in Devanagari.
